If you really want to be competitive in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, you have to make sure your game is running as smoothly as possible.
While PUBG is no longer classified as an Early Access title on Steam, there are still kinks that need ironing. Especially if your PC is somewhat old.
As some players are always quick to point out, the game code isn’t very optimized, and PUBG could run slow or stutter.
This is where PUBG optimization can come in very handy in allowing you to have a fun time without the frustration of stutters and dropped frames.
So, here are the best settings for PUBG to get a nice FPS boost and achieve the maximum possible FPS (frames per second) your machine is capable of.
COMPUTER SETTINGS
Make sure your computer is running in “high performance” mode and not on the default “balanced”. This will ensure that your computer is always using all of your processor’s cores, instead of turning them off to save energy.
- Get to your Nvidia control panel by right clicking anywhere on your desktop and selecting “NVIDIA Control Panel”.
- Select “Manage 3D Settings”.
- Under “Power Management Mode” select “Prefer Maximum Performance”.
- Under “Change Resolution” make sure that you’re running at the resolution marked as “(native)” for your display.
- Change the “Refresh Rate” to as high as it will go.
- (Only for G-Sync Monitors) Under “Set Up G-Sync”, simply “Enable G-Sync”.
- (Only for G-Sync Monitors) Make sure that under “Manage 3D Settings” you set “Vertical sync” to OFF.
If you still have a 60Hz monitor, you should ABSOLUTELY upgrade to at least a 120Hz one.
If you still have a 60Hz monitor, you should ABSOLUTELY upgrade to at least a 120Hz one. 144Hz is preferable, but you can get monitors with refresh rates of up to 240Hz these days.
If you’re wondering what the best monitor for PUBG is, check out our Guide here.
Override High DPI Scaling Behavior
This is a great little tweak that won’t change the way your game looks at all but will give you a LOT more of those pesky frames.
- Go to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\PUBG\TslGame\Binaries\Win64 - Right click on “TslGame.exe” and select Properties.
- Navigate to “Compatibility”.
- In the little “Settings” section, check the “Override high DPI scaling behavior” box (in Windows 8 this option is called “Disable display scaling on high DPI settings“).
- In the drop down menu, make sure “Application” is selected.
- Hit “OK”.
People are reporting to have had dramatic improvements, sometimes even doubling their FPS in PUBG!
HELP! My “Override high DPI scaling behavior” is greyed out!
If your Override high DPI scaling behavior is greyed out, you’ll have to manually change it in the registry editor.
Thankfully, it’s not very hard. Here’s how:
– Type Windows + R (to Run a program)
– Type “regedit” and press ENTER.
– Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers
– Right click to “Add new string”
– In the Name field, enter the Path to your TslGame.exe (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\PUBG\TslGame\Binaries\Win64\TslGame.exe)
– In the Data field, enter ~HIGHDPIAWARE
Make sure that you have the tilde (~) before HIGHDPIAWARE in the Data field.
Now, when you go to the TslGame.exe file properties, the high DPI scaling option should still be greyed out, but it should also be enabled.
(Optional) Uncap the Framerate in PUBG
Update Since PUBG Version 1.0, it’s impossible to remove the 144 fps frame rate cap.
Bluehole has confirmed that they’ll remove the limit in the future. Hopefully soon. Check back here for news on this.
PUBG is actually capped at 144 fps. If you have a solid system, and your fps is pretty much constantly at 144, I would recommend uncapping the game’s FPS. Particularly if you have a monitor that runs at frequencies higher than 144Hz.
How to Remove the FPS cap in PUBG?
Press Windows Key + R (this opens up your “Run” menu in Windows).Paste%localappdata%\TslGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditorand press ENTER.Open engine.ini (use whatever text editor you like).At the bottom of the file, paste the following:[/Script/TslGame.TslEngine]FrameRateCap=0Save and close the file.Right-click on engine.ini and select “Properties”.Check “Read Only” (this makes it so that the game won’t undo your changes whenever it’s updated).
Done! Now you should see your FPS in-game go well above 144.
Note: if your system is mid to low level, I recommend leaving the original FPS cap in place.
PUBG LAUNCH OPTIONS
Open up Steam, and click on your Library.
Right click on “PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS” and select “Properties”
Then, click on “Set Launch Options”
In the text field, add the following string:
-refresh 144-maxMem=13000-malloc=system-USEALLAVAILABLECORES-sm4
Let’s take a look at these settings one by one to see what they do
-refresh 144
Sets the refresh rate of the game. You should set this to whatever refresh rate your monitor is capable of. In my case, I use a ROG PG279Q monitor that’s actually capable of running at 165Hz, so mine is set to -refresh 165
-maxMem=13000
Sets the maximum amount of RAM the game can use to the specified amount in Megabytes. In this case 13GB.
-malloc=system
Tells the game to let Windows manage the memory allocation. I’m not sure why this is preferable, but people say it’s good, and I trust them.
-USEALLAVAILABLECORES
Is pretty self explanatory. This is old and most likely the game does this on its own now. Still, won’t hurt to add it. Whatevs.
-sm4
This tells the game to use DX10 instead of DX11, which will eliminate some graphic features, some of which are apparently distracting, such as scope reflections. Having this setting will provide a nice FPS boost. Remove this if you want your game to look quite a bit better (better textures, less jagged edges, more realistic grass etc.)
IN-GAME SETTINGS
You should consider where your enjoyment of this game is coming from.
Look, I know you wanna make the game faster cause you REALLY want your chicken dinner, but let me preface this by saying that you should consider where your enjoyment of this game is coming from.
The graphics turned all the way to ultra are beautiful, and they make for a really realistic experience (especially in FPP – first person play mode).
The realism of the graphics makes the game even a little scarier at times. When you’re crouch-walking around inside a house and you hear footsteps in the grass outside, seeing the realistic figure enter the house, clad in the half shadow as the rest of the screen is covered by the beautiful glow of the light filtering through the window, then you’ll know:
you may not see the enemy quite as easily, and you may even lose because of that. But boy, it’s a thrill.
If all you think about is the chicken dinner however, you should optimize your game using these settings:
- [FPP Only]
FpsCameraFov: 80(having it higher impacts your FPS quite a bit. You can turn it up to see more enemies to the sides – check out my article about FpsCameraFov for more info.) Anti-Aliasing: ULTRA(in my opinion the performance cost is not great and not having jagged edges removes what would otherwise be a disadvantage.)Post-Processing: LOW(you can go VERY LOW, but you lose a little bit of contrast which may be beneficial.)Shadows: LOW(going VERY LOW makes shadows comically blocky, and it costs a truly imperceptible performance drop to use LOW instead.)Texture: HIGH(better texture quality allows to spot enemies more easily. You can set this lower for more FPS, but it’s not worth it, in my opinion.)Effects: VERY LOW(effects are pretty hard on a graphics card, so if you don’t wanna skip a frame the next time someone at spawn throws a molotov on you, VERY LOW is the way to go – unless you’re rich and you have two Titan XPs in SLI.)Foliage: VERY LOW(removes a lot of grass / bushes. You really want this to VERY LOW. Not just to spot enemies more easily, but also to be sure that the bush you’re hiding behind is shown even to players who are running this setting.)View Distance: LOW(this determines how far the game will render buildings. Even LOW renders buildings that are really far, I don’t see why you’d wanna set this any higher than that.)Motion Blur: DISABLED(adding blur to the game is distracting — if you care about visibility, turn it off)
Inventory screen character render that allows you to turn off rendering your character in the inventory menu to improve performance. I definitely recommend turning it OFF. If you turn on the weapon and items indicators in the settings, you can still see if you have helmet / armor equipped very easily anyway.
I would recommend not touching any other setting.
Warning: Don’t touch the Screen Scale slider, as that affects performance. Currently there is a bug: if you changed this value, even after you bring it back to the original value in-game, the decimal points in the config file are going to be non-zero, which will still affect performance. To fix this, you need to go in the config file GameUserSettings.ini located at C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\TslGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.ini (click here for my article on how to easily access GameUserSettings.ini) and manually change the Screen Scale value to 100.000000 (that’s SIX decimal places!)
So that’s it. Hopefully this guide will make it easier for you to frag like Shroud, or at least make your game more fluid. If you’ve enjoyed it, please make sure to share it on Facebook or Twitter with the buttons below!
help me.im playing pubg steam in high settings all..with i5 4670 .rx 470 4gb .16gb ram..high settings it runs about 59 fps..but somtimes fps goes 49 40 ..when it happen there is a small 1 sec lag..bow can i fix this
If you use G-Sync, then you should turn Vertical Sync “ON” in the Nvidia 3D-Settings, but “OFF” in the game options. Then limit the FPS 3 below the the monitor refresh rate (e. g. 141 or 162 fps).

Great info, I wasn’t aware – thanks!
I have a 240hz 1080p monitor, but I never even get close to 237 FPS with my GTX-1080 with a i5-7600k. Hope to upgrade next black friday…. what should the FPS limit be set to in this case?
I have an intel pentium G4600 3.6Ghz
8GB of ram single channel
GTX 1050 ti
60hz samsung monitor
A year ago, with these specs i could run pubg at 90-120 fps with little stutters, but now i struggle getting over 60 fps, my average is between 36-50 fps. Looks like the developers instead of optimizing the game, they just make it heavier. Any suggestions on how to boost fps?
I’ve an intel core i5-3570, 16Go ram, a sapphire rx580 8go and the game installed on a ssd and can’t get over 70 fps and drop at 40-50 fps when I’m moving fast with vehicles.
Waduheck?
Your cpu is bottlenecking for sure. Get at least a R5 3600 and problem solved. Anything under 6 cores will give you pretty bad fps/stutter. I was getting somewhat bad stuttering with my I7 6700 non K, upgraded to R7 3800x and now the game is super smooth.
HEHE I got i5 10300H 4.50 ghz 8 Cores 8 GB DDR4 DUal channel 4 GB gtx 1650 ti OC edition and 120 hz but getting 50% more fps than my monitor refresh rate just how is it so XD
Is pubg still cap at 144 fps? If so how is my friend getting over 144fps? And i have a better rig than his. If not how do remove the cap?
Long story short, upgrade hardware in pc if your monitor refresh rate is higher than your fps shown ingame.
my computer enters pubg mobile but plays itchy. it gives error 342.01 when opening the game I have installed pubg lite instead. how do I disable this error and play pubg lite.
so i have MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Ti ARMOR 6G OC Graphic card and i7-4770k 3.5GHz processor and i run pubg with low setting 80-140fps. what is wrong with my pc??????
Could be a million things. Try to close all of the processes in the background on your computer before you open PUBG. Also, make sure your temperatures and voltages are all correct in your BIOS. And check your motherboard manual to make sure your graphics card is in a 16x PCIe slot. Hope this helps!

Hello,
i want to play PUBG but unfortunately i have only 24 FPS.
My CPU (FX-8350) workload is on 32 %
Ram: 16 Gb
GPU: GTX 1060
I tried all your setting proposals
This seems strange, with 1060 6GB I used to have about 100fps
I guess look at ur cpu
The fx8350 us a terrible CPU for gaming, and if your 1060 is only 3gb of vram this may also be an issue
HI PUBG !
This is my build 🙂 HELP ME 🙂

gtx 1050 ti is shit man change it …u will play with shit FPS …gtx 970 is better than 1050 ti
I know because 970 is the same as 1070 but the 1070 is just a little bit newer verision of that. So 970 is better than 1050. And 970 is better than 950.
970 IS NOT THE SAME AS 1070 if for you 50% is just bit newer version okey but rly 1070 = 980Ti

can i run pubg in pc in good quality? ???
Graphics card will probably be a problem.

All this on notebook.
Can’t get more then 35 fps even on very low settings.
I tried tips in topic. Can someone help me?
The minimum GPU requirement is a bit better than your GPU.
GTX 660 can get 30 FPS in 720p.
What’s your resolution when playing tho?
Hi!
This is my build!

before when i buy this gaming pc after playing last 2 weeks. my fps at that time was 100 above. now its going 83 drop suddenly at 60 but it will steady at 83. any ideas about this issue?
Hi Ban, it could be lots of things. So you were getting 100+ fps with a different PC or with this one? If it was with the same PC, I’d imagine the latest patches are to blame. Lots is changing in PUBG and sometimes performance is impacted. Let me know.
use windows 7 bro better and good
Pubg doesn’t really support 1440p Monitors so I prefer downgrading it to 1080p.
I have everything on very low, lowest resolution and lowest screen scale but the game is always in 25-28 FPS…
I tried the guide but nothing changed
My PC specs are
i3 550
Gtx 1050 Ti
8GB RAM
My mouse is extremely laggy and stutters almost every second. The fps goes below 20 when I look around the map , and I followed every single tip you gave. My settings are also on lowest possible but that doesn’t help at all.
Your CPU is really old and it’s bottlenecking your GPU. It’s the problems itself, get rid of it and done!
does a computer with amd ryzen 7 and amd rx radeon 550x run pubg, and if u may know how much fps at low graphics?
Hi lasha, you can get ~40 fps with a 550x at 1080p. But it also depends on your system specs, so I recommend getting the best components you can afford, allocating the most money respectively to GPU, CPU and RAM (in order of importance for gaming). Hope this helps, let me know! 🙂
Don’t run at 1080p drop it down to around 1600×900 and mess with ingame settings. I bet you go from 40fps to around 60-80fps.
Mine is a tiny but different – I’ve just built a decent new rig (4Ghz on AMD chipset/MSI mobo, GeForce 1050, 16g HyperX ram, win 10 64 on the creator’s update, and game installed on a new crucial SSD w/ a 1TB HDD). All that is fine and dandy, but . . .
I don’t have a monitor per se. I run everything via HDMI into an Epson EB-S03
It’s native resolution is 1024×768@60, but I’m used to either running stuff at 1920x1080p/i or else 1920×1200@60
Any advice would honestly be appreciated, as if I set anything wrong – display, GeForce NCP, and/or Steam settings, I wind up with the maddening ‘fullscreen blackout w/ working Win mouse cursor’ bug.
PUBG was a b-day present from one of my best friends in Canada – he lives there, and I am in Malaysia. It’s been a month since my b-day, and I haven’t been able to sort proper settings so we can team and talk in game, which is understandably frustrating. I have NO other monitor, and my 3 laptops are older and won’t run it. >.<
Many thanks in advance
Hi Glen, that’s a very specific case.. so you’ve never been able to get the game working at all on your projector? Try setting the game’s resolution to 1024×768 and see if it works, and then start increasing it gradually until you achieve a good look while still being able to run it.
Also, is getting a cheap monitor not an option at all? Thanks for the comment!
You need to reset your registry on your display, windows 10 had an update that locked in random res and keep it at the res til fixed properly.
And can’t get more the 40 FPS with my 1440p asus rog Monitor ??
Hey, my laptop Lenovo y50-70 spec is:
8 GB DDR3 RAM
intel core i7 4th gen 2.60 Ghz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M
1 TB HDD
WIN 10.
the question is – is there any hope that game can work smoothly on this laptop? I did everything posted here and is still is 35-40 fps, sometimes for a minute it works perfectly fine with 70 fps but then drops to low again.
I have all my settings in game on very low.. 1600×900 resolution.
any ideas or is that just this laptop not enough for PUBG..
Hi Jerry,
It’s strange that it drops after playing for a while. Are you sure that’s got nothing to do with whether you’re in an area that’s dense with buildings/players or not?
If it’s merely a function of time, it leads me to believe that your laptop is overheating and throttling your performance. In that case, you could try a cooling pad with fans for laptops such as this one.
Hope this helps!
maybe thermal thorrtling its normally a common issue for random drops
Laptop Specs:
ASUS M580VD-EB76 15.6″ Intel Core i7 7th Gen 7700HQ (2.80 GHz) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 16 GB DDR4 Memory 256 GB SSD 1 TB HDD Windows 10
Looking to get an external monitor for PubG. What’s the biggest monitor with the best refresh rate i can reasonably run on this laptop?
Thanks for your help, this is a great thread!
Hi Partypants 🙂
Did you take a look at my recommendations for the best monitors for PUBG? Whether attached to a desktop or a laptop, those are the best monitors in general for gaming IMO. You may not need a monitor that does more than 1080p though, unless you wanna keep it for after you upgrade your setup and can get good fps at resolutions higher than 1080p.
Usually, refresh rate and size are inversely proportional: the smaller the panel, the faster it can be. So, if you favor refresh rate (which is what you should do with your current setup), I’d go with the ASUS ROG SWIFT PG258Q which does 1080p at a crazy 240Hz.
Hope this helps! Thanks for the nice comment!
q6600 overclock to 3ghz, 8GB ram, 750ti. getting like 20 or less…any hope with the above?
Absolutely.. 20 sounds pretty low for your setup – what resolution are you playing at?
Your CPU needs a change because it’s bottlenecking your GPU.
As my personal experience following this guide, I also found out that on my setup:
RAM DDR3 8GB (4×2 1333MHz)
&
R7 260X 2GB GDDR5
Decreasing the textures quality from HIGH to MEDIUM made all the annoying stuttering dissapear, SPECIALLY while driving. I don’t recall if it’s related to VIDEO’s RAM or PC’S RAM.
1440×900 res.
Hi Matt,
these are my specs
GeForce GTX 1050
Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3220 CPU @ 3.30GHz
8 GB RAM
1920 * 1080, 144hz
please be kind enough to guide me to have a smooth gameplay
Thank you very much in advance.
Hi Sanka, did you try the tips outlined in this guide already?
Yes, that string worked but only if i leave out the “~” and just used “HIGHDPIAWARE” in data field, it is grayed but checked, I can make an edit to the TSLGAME_BE compatibility to check the override button also, should I be doing that as well?
Hi Paul, yes, I recommend setting the override for TslGame_Be.exe as well – it shouldn’t be greyed out. Let me know if you see improvements in terms of fps!
I cant edit the compatibility settings to override DPI scaling behavior all options are grayed out any input?
Hi Paul! Yes, that’s a fairly common problem. Here’s how to solve it:
– Type Windows + R (to Run a program)
– Type “regedit” and press ENTER.
– Navigate to “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers”
– Right click to “Add new string”
– In the Name field, enter the Path to your TslGame.exe (usually “C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\PUBG\TslGame\Binaries\Win64\TslGame.exe”)
– In the Data field, enter the following “~HIGHDPIAWARE”
Make sure you put the tilde (~) before the HIGHDPIAWARE in the Data field. Also, obviously, no brackets.
Now, the option to override the DPI scaling behavior should still be greyed out but it should also be enabled.
Let me know if it works! I’ll update the guide to include those instructions.. Thanks!
Hi i did it but DPI scaling isnt enabled…still same grey and unchecked.. :/
Hi Denis, are you on Windows 7 by chance?
That Didn’t work. Anything else to enable it?
Hi Elijah, are you on Windows 7?
Is the Steam launch code options for PUBG still working? I heard some people said that It’s no longer work
Hey Rinnyz, the launch options do still work for PUBG 1.0, so go ahead and try them out, see if you squeeze out some more fps! Thanks for the comment!
I have a question TO REMOVE THE FPS CAP IN PUBG.
If i do something with changing in pubg system bluehole said we get banned? It is true i am scary to change anything in system. Answer me thank you
Hi Tony, ever since version 1.0, it’s impossible to remove the fps cap. Bluehole said they’ll implement a way to remove the cap soon.. Stay tuned.
Excellent information! Thanks a million!
Any advice for SLI users as of February 2018?
Again, thanks! 🙂
Hi Michel, so this is a tough question to answer – ever since Nvidia driver 382.53, SLI is supported by PUBG. Now, the thing is that SLI introduces a bit of input lag (~1-5ms). If you wanna try it out, I recommend installing the Windows 10 Creators Update and all of the latest chipset drivers for your CPU. You may still be better off running the game with a single card though.. experiment and let me know!
So my monitor is 165hz and it works for all the other games but PUBG. I tried all your solutions but the game is still capped at 144hz. Is it true that we can no longer change ini to boost maxframrate cap? Mine just doesn’t work at all.
Hi, yes, unfortunately since version 1.0 the framerate is capped at 144 fps, but they plan to remove the cap soon. I’ll update the guide.
Thanks!
Hey Matt,
So a very long time “600hours+” of playing PUBG I always have the resolution of 1920 * 1080
Specifications of my Laptop:
MSI-GF72VR7RF
Windows 10 Home / Windows 10 Pro
Latest 7th Gen. Intel® Core™ i7 processor
Latest GeForce® GTX 1060 3GB GDDR5 with desktop level performance
17.3″ Full HD (1920×1080), 120 Hz Refresh Rate and 5ms response time panel (Optional)
17.3″ Full HD (1920×1080) (Optional)
and At first round I get an average of 80 (55-100)Really unstable man
but after four or five rounds, like seriously it drops like so hot
with an average fps of 40-60
I dunno if it’s the resolution or whatever
but I used up all your settings here except for Game qualities
And one more question is about the NVIDIA Shadow Play Highlights that is always turned on… Should I disable it to reach/stay in average 80 fps?
I look forward for this
Please Reply Cheers!,
Justin
Hey Justin, sounds like your computer is throttling the performance.. maybe it’s getting too hot? Have you tried cleaning out the fans on your laptop? Also, check your Windows settings to make sure that you’re in performance mode all the time. Shadow Play shouldn’t have a big impact.
I recommend keeping track of your CPU and GPU temperatures and seeing if they get too hot (90-100C). If heat is the problem, clean out your laptop with some compressed air and then maybe get one of those cheap fan beds to keep it cool when gaming for a few hours.
Hope this helps, let me know!
Hi dude, can you say me if your FPS are capped at 165 FPS in-game please? I did all commands, but my FPS are capped at 144 instead of 180…
Shroud pro player play on 240hz monitor, but he is also at 144 FPS in game…
Can u say me if the command -refresh 144 (in terms of your monitor) is useless or not ? If not, can u explain me why? thanks.
Hi, yeah the fps is capped at 144 fps by default. You can unlock it by checking out the section called “(OPTIONAL) UNCAP THE FRAMERATE IN PUBG” in this article. Hope this helps, let me know!
i had also modified engine.ini file but no changes… 🙁
Hey Bebop, sorry it’s impossible to remove the fps cap since version 1.0 actually. They’ll remove the cap at some point in the future. Check back here for updates. Thanks!
Hey mate,
I’m confused…
My setup:
Acer Predator XB252Q (240Hz @ 1080p)
Inno3d GTX 1080 iChiLL x4
I applied all the tweaks you mentioned (including engine.ini) and also applied the steam startup settings:
-refresh 240-maxMem=13000-malloc=system-USEALLAVAILABLECORES-sm4
Still my game is running at 144fps max.
Whyyyyy xD
Hey there! You can unlock the max fps by checking out the section called “(OPTIONAL) UNCAP THE FRAMERATE IN PUBG” in this article. Hope this helps, let me know!
Edit: Sorry, actually since version 1.0, it’s impossible to remove the fps cap. Bluehole said they will remove the limit soon, though. Check back here for updates.
The game is capped at 144 fps and, since version 1.0, there’s no way to remove the cap yet. Bluehole said they’ll remove this limit soon. Hope this helps!
even though your monitor can go over 144hz wont really help you much with an fps cap of 144. I own an ASUS 144hz 24inch & samsung 180hz 4k, I honestly dont see any diffrernce both monitors are 1ms response time
Hey,i have a gtx 750 ti,and want to play pubg.(i have the fx 8320)
i want atleast a steady 46 fps.
would this help improve it? thanks.
Hi Luke, yes you should be able to achieve ~50-60 fps with your setup at 1080p, I think. Try out the settings and see if they work. If not, you can always revert back to the original settings. Let me know! Thanks for the comment!
Luke the cpu is bottle necking your 750ti. on my travel tower runs an sandy i5 2500k / 16gb ddr3 hyperx ram / 660ti 2gb gpu / 120gb ssd. ingame setttings at 1600×900 comp ffp settings enabled and i pull over 80fps
Hello, I have a 240 Hz screen and the PC config that goes with it. However, despite all these changes, I remain stuck at 144 fps in-game (constant). Does your fps indicator tell you 165 fps (depending on your screen) while you are at stake? If yes, would you have a solution? (despite your very complete article)
Thank you in advance for your answer !
Hi SwoOn, thanks for the nice comment!
No, actually the FPS in PUBG are capped at 144. Thankfully you can unlock them: check out in this very article the section called “(OPTIONAL) UNCAP THE FRAMERATE IN PUBG” for instructions. Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes!
Just what I was looking for man, awesome. I’ll try them out and let you know how it goes.
Great, thanks for commenting!
this guide is avaible for 29/01/2018?..
My current setup is
ryzen 7 1700
b350 asus plus prime
2x. 8gb ram 3200bus
gtx 1080
Yes, still current as of 31/01/2018.
is this update for pubg 1.0 january 2018?
Yes it is. Some people say that the Steam launch settings won’t make a difference anymore, but I’ve also heard the opposite. Experiment and see what works best for your system – you should see a nice increase in fps.
I am running on 70 fps but when i first played the game it was on 135 fps ( everything on Ultra ). how is that possible ?
I didn’t change anything. I tried overclocking my 1070 ti but nothing helps
Hey Hans, I definitely wouldn’t recommend overclocking your card – it could cause everything to be more unstable and you wouldn’t really see a big improvement in terms of fps in PUBG. Did you try all the steps outlined in the guide? Also, are you using ReShade?
Cheers mate, went up 30 FPS and everything looks smooth in the 100 fps+pretty as well.
Fkcing piece of shit unoptimised mining scheme of a game this is 😉
Haha, glad to be of help!
Thank you gave me a average 20 – 30 fps boost
Thanks for the nice comment, glad to help!
My PC settings are:
Ryzen 5 1600
ASUS Strix OC version 1060 GTX 6GB DDR5 192-bit
8 GB RAM DDR4
144 hz monitor
Still can’t get more than 80 fps on 1980 resolution, even on lower ones. what should i do?
Hey Delcea, that’s strange.. did you try all of the steps outlined in the guide?
Hi Delcea, did you follow all the suggestions in the guide?
Hello, my setup is this:
AMD Ryzen 5 1600
ASUS Strix OC version 1060 GTX 6GB 192-bit
8GB RAM DDR4 2400 MHz
SSD Samsung EVO 250 GB
144hz monitor
still i can’t go more than 80 fps on 1980 resolution, and also on smaller one. what should i do ?
Thanks. Very nice settings
Hey ! Can this guide is compatible with ReShade ? Or I have to disable uninstall ReShade ?
Thanks.
Hey Seiju, yeah it’s absolutely compatible with ReShade.. we have a guide on how to best setup your ReShade as well (most people do it wrong and they get a huge performance hit). Check it out here.
Ney, I have a notebook Dell Inspiron i15 with a Radeon R7 m445 4gb, I did everything and my fps is 33 (CS:GO runs 180-200), is there anything else i can do?
Hey Thales, yeah.. laptops are not great at running games. I’m thinking, you should try updating Windows and removing any unwanted programs to make sure that your computer’s performance is exclusively dedicated to PUBG. Hope this helps!
I have legion y720 by lenovo and I checked my screen and it said it is 60 hz so how can I make the refresh rate 144 is it logic or what can I do also i have some in game lags that are so annoying and the game is using all my GPU (is it safe for it the GTX 1060 6 GB0
i hope you reply and thanks a lot I made some changes
Hi Muhammad, unfortunately you need a display that can run at 144Hz. Your laptop doesn’t have the ability to run at such high refresh rate. But I think you can connect an external 144Hz monitor (like the BENQ XL2430T) to your displayport and you can play at at least 120Hz, which makes a HUGE difference.
Hope this helps!
Hi ,ive got 1050 with an i3 4170 what are the best setting for these specs and how much fps should I get ?
Im getting big drops to 40 how can I fix them ?
Hi Raivis, big drops are usually caused by the game rendering effects or lots of textures (like when, say, you turn around and there’s a bunch of buildings).. try to bring down the texture quality and the post processing settings. Let me know how it goes!
i tried but still geting random fps drops , but im getting like 60-100 and im getting a lot stuttering on early game , how can i fix it , please help !:)
Raivis, did you update your GPU drivers? Also, update Windows as well as your chipset driver for your CPU. You’ll most likely see an improvement.. Let me know!
Matt , everything is up to date , i fixed all the drops and everyting , but not the early game lags , i open parachute and when i land im having like 30 fps and need to wait 20 secs to get my stable frame rate back,and if i meet some1 im dead and im getting triggered ,if u know solution help and ive followed like 10 guides to fix early game stutter nothing helps AND i dont have an ssd
I still get early game lags too (especially if you like landing in popular spots like School), so I’m guessing it’s more PUBG’s netcode that’s the culprit. In any case, you should totally get an SSD – it’s the single biggest performance improvement for your computer, and they’re fairly cheap these days. Anyway, hope this helps somewhat!
Ok ,thank u so much for the help , im getting ssd for sure but im good for now with these 60-80 stable frames thank u for the help 🙂
Thank you very much, I hope this works. Gonna test now
Hope this helps, let me know how it goes Joe!
So I did this, gave me a good 30-40+ FPS boost but it feels kind of choppy??
Not sure if anyone else has this problem.
Hey Paul, that’s strange.. I recommend trying to remove the launch settings one by one and seeing what feels best. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks you sir
Why is there no Texture between Shadows and Effects?
Hi Jakob,
I guess that somehow got deleted in the last update to the guide.
Thanks for the heads up, it’s fixed now!
This was awesome. I built my pc about a year ago and it runs everything at a smooth 220-250 fps rate, and yet PUBG wouldn’t ever go above a 19, which was really worrying. I changed everything you said and it’s running at the 144 cap.
Thanks!
Hey Juan,
Very happy to help, thanks for the nice comment!
Heads up, I just added a new performance tip under “Override high DPI scaling behavior” – this should improve your FPS further still.
Those settings are “inactive” for me, so I can’t change them. Do you know maybe why?
It looks gray.
