CPU model: Intel Core i7-4790 GPU: AMD RX 580 Storage: Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 500GB RAM: Kingston 99U5584-009.A00LF 4x4GB MBD: Asus B85M-G Performance seems consistent across titles, though frame rates vary. For CS:GO I usually hit over 130fps, but on PUGB I’m stuck around 70-80. It’s likely my graphics settings are affecting the numbers. The benchmark recording is available here: https://streamable.com/njkcj4. The attached file shows FPS changes based on my display settings, though I’m unsure if it’s accurate.
The performance varies depending on the settings being used. On ultra mode with 2K rendering you see higher averages, but low settings still deliver solid frames—around 70-80fps when not recording. The recording software affects the numbers, so your recorded frames look different. It’s not a consistent issue.
You're looking for a CPU that can handle smooth gaming performance. For running PUGB with high frame rates, a mid-range to high-end processor is recommended—something like an Intel i5 or AMD Ryzen 5/7 with strong multi-core support. If you need even better performance, consider a dedicated gaming PC with an i7/i9 or Ryzen 7/9 chipset.
The content you referenced was created more than three years ago. Since systems evolve and components change, comparing it to today’s standards won’t yield accurate results. Performance varies based on individual hardware and updates. A complete overhaul—like replacing the case, power supply, or even the whole system—might be necessary depending on your needs. What budget are you considering for a rebuild or a new setup?
You already possess the CPU and board; no additional upgrades are necessary at this time. For now, you only need a fresh motherboard, RAM, and CPU if that's all you wish to change. If not, you can maintain your current setup and wait until you can afford a new PC.
