Game didn't start as expected
Here’s a revised version of your text:
My system setup includes an Intel I5-4460 CPU, an upcoming upgrade to an Intel I7-4790k, a MSI Z97 PC Mate motherboard, 4x4 Corsair Vengeance RAM at 1600MHZ, a GPU from Gigabyte G1, an R9-390 graphics card, a case cooler Master HAF XM with a window side panel, storage using Seagate 1TB and Samsung 850 Evo 120GB drives, and an EVGA NEX 650G fully modular PSU. The game is configured for maximum performance. I’ve been experiencing around 40-50 FPS in PlayUnknoWn Battleground, which made me wonder if the low frame rate is due to the game’s difficulty or my settings.
In some settings, FPS tends to be higher with better performance cards, while others may struggle more with AMD options. This isn't a universal rule.
The problem lies with the CPU, PUBG handles it smoothly with 6c
The highest FPS I get is around 53 and that when not much is around. I get 50 on the loading screen. (side note when I turned foliage to very low it crashed but as soon as I turned it back to ultra the game stopped crashing)
In reality, it does work. It's less obvious on CPUs that support HT, though it tends to consume more CPU power when non-HT is enabled. The main concern lies with suboptimal performance on AMD GPUs rather than other factors. Running full ultra in PUBG raises the bar significantly. The game relies on Unreal Engine 4.
I currently own an i5-4460 and a GTX 1060 (3GB). I believe you're setting things too high for your current hardware. Before the latest updates for PUBG, running everything at full capacity made my CPU constantly near its limits, preventing me from reaching 120fps. Even with ultra enabled, it didn’t work well. After the patches, my CPU usage stays around 70-80%, but pushing everything to ultra is still impractical. I’m struggling to maintain a stable 60fps under those conditions. I’m excited about your upgrade to the 4790K and will be testing it soon. Could you share how PUBG performs with that graphics card? For now, I’d suggest tweaking your settings slightly and focusing on stability over visual perfection.
