PUBG
I recently purchased PUBG, but I'm having issues because everything looks blurry at the start of each session and connection lag appears. Could you suggest a solution? My system specs are: GTX 980, i5 5600K, 8GB RAM, Gigabyte gaming motherboard, NZXT water cooler.
Ensure you're on the NA servers; the game often redirects players to Asian servers without a clear reason.
I've observed comparable problems. My X5680 runs with a 980ti and 48GB RAM, but the game isn't using even half of my first core or 60% of my GPU. I still experience frame drops. It seems the PUBG optimization issues might be the cause, unlike in other games I play.
The visual blur happens because textures load slowly, and it gets worse with less memory. Whether you're using a traditional hard drive or an SSD affects the speed. To play PUBG smoothly, you need more than 2GB of VRAM, about 16GB of RAM, and an SSD helps by speeding up asset loading once it's ready. Older CPUs from the Lynnfield/Bloomfield era aren't as strong these days, especially when matched with powerful GPUs.
I plan to replace the X58 motherboard soon to enable overclocking. I'm noticing minor CPU limitations in certain games, but a solid 4.5GHz boost should fully resolve this issue.
The G4560 will perform better in gameplay. It's unclear if it's a good investment. Textures aren't displayed directly; they're applied to surfaces that already have them. You'll notice the simplest textures first, with higher quality versions loading later. Early textures are faster to retrieve from game files because they're lower in resolution. This also explains why stuttering during zooming suggests you might need more memory or lower texture detail, so assets must be stored permanently without running out of space.
