Original launch: November 1, 2012 It worked on DX9 or DX10. PUBG supports DX11.2; your GPU is built for DX9/10 and newer versions allow running games similar to those in DX9. The 3D graphics display its peak performance [link]. It matches a NVIDIA GTX 645. That’s a prebuilt card! An NVIDIA 750 is twice as powerful—just add about 25 USD and you’ll get the same performance.
I haven't tried the game, I'm being honest, and I'm not focused on graphics. But from what I see, it runs poorly even with 100 players and a large map. It definitely needs some improvements, and I'm starting to prefer Arma 3 more.
You prioritized a premium peripheral setup over upgrading your graphics card because the hardware you had was outdated and insufficient for modern gaming needs. Investing in a midrange system was seen as a more practical step to improve performance without breaking the bank.
At that time I was running a 7950. The issue arose because of problems with the 7950—extensive artifacts, freezes, crashes, and overall instability. Before these problems, I still used a Dell membrane keyboard from the C2D era. With enough funds and a solid system, I chose to upgrade my peripherals.
