PUBG - what a poorly optimized game looks like

It's been six months since we last tested PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and it's safe to say that the game still requires further optimization. Shoddy Ryzen support aside, even the Core i7-8700K and GTX 1080 Ti combo was very underwhelming -- an average of 123fps at 1080p using the minimum quality settings is pathetic.

Helping to put that result into context, the same combo pushes over 220fps in Battlefield 1 on medium settings, 200fps in Warhammer II, 240fps in F1 2017, 260fps in Rainbow Six Siege, 220fps in Call of Duty WWII, 250fps in DiRT 4, and the list goes on. And again, all of those games were running on medium instead of the minimum quality preset.anticipation of the argument that PUBG is an open-world shooter and therefore hammers the CPU, we saw that this simply wasn't the case when using the very low quality settings. Quad-core Intel chips and greater hit a GPU bottleneck at just 120fps while the Ryzen CPUs were heavily under-utilized.One thing seems clear, if you’re a massive PUBG fan or you're building a PC solely to play this title, something like the Core i3-8100 or 8350K for example will offer you the most bang for your buck. We'd normally never recommend the 8350K, but PUBG makes it a valid choice.
We're yet to test older CPUs but chances are anything back to the Core i5-2500K will play the game just fine, providing a mild overclock is applied. It was surprising to find that there's little difference between the very low and ultra quality settings in terms of frame rate performance when using a high-end GPU. Visually though, there's a massive difference.

Clickbait necro post referring to pre 1.0 Early Access version. There’s more up to date stuff already posted in PUBG thread

My biggest gripe is the piss poor net code which is accentuated even more by us not having a ZA server. I rather have faster response than faster frames

The lagg is just insane, I really like the game through. They really could of done a better job with the net code.

Overwatch is so smooth and it does not have SA servers.
 
I wonder if they will throw out the old code and implement new code to make it run smoothly?

I saw somewhere that the new battlefield will have a PUBG mode, people will probably just flock to that if they can make it work like PUBG but with better netcode and optimization.
 
Apparently PUBG has the worst netcode of any game. which is insane considering there's usually over 1 million people playing

Rainbow 6: Siege is disgusted that you'd take its title away from it.

So recode the entire game?
Sure, why not.

I doubt they went very far with the Unreal Engine in the first place.

Yep I have experienced that the most are aim lock.
 
The new Nvidia drivers, apparently, make a big difference to the performance of this game. Will see. I came 4th last night after some hard work avoiding hackers.

Are you playing TPP? I never encounter hackers but strictly play FPP

The latest driver broke my Nvidia Filters (says game is not compatible :-( )
Am keen for the performance increase, but not at the cost of playing BlurryField's Fuzzygrounds.
Reverted to 390.77, and filters worked again.
 
Not sure how these guys are testing but I get 144 frames on average with my 980ti and 7700 non-k @ 1080p
