PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) CPU Test

[Abraka]

Epic look at average machine specs and build the engine to suit, the developer builds the game with the engine. The developer relies on the licensed engine and that engine's performance on a given arch. Now ask yourself, if AMD's CPU does not perform very well on particular engines compared to it's rival because of architectural deficiencies and it makes up a small volume of the market, largely BECAUSE of said deficiencies, who should have the MOST incentive to improve that in games?

Actually EPIC game engine is crap. I liked Unreal and Unreal Tournament, they were always paid servants of Nvidia (and advertised it), but at least in the past their engine was well optimized. Nowadays their game engine is crap, too slow, it can't use multi-threading well, and graphic is not as realistic as with modern game engines. For example, Cry-engine is now very cheap, perfectly integrates with AWS and is a lot better than Unreal-engine. Epic scripting language doesn't even support multi-dimensional arrays.

So, if someone chooses a crap game engine, and then complains that 6-core or 8-core CPU doesn't have enough power, I guess it's their own fault. It's like buying a Ferrari, driving it in first gear and complaining that it's slow.

And there it is.

I've recently started benchmarking this game to see what would be a decent budget PC for it.
So far I've only tried Ryzen CPU's and AMD FX 8370 all overclocked.

Most tests are 1080p with a very affordable R9 270X GPU.

Playing without recording or streaming the quad core R5 performs exactly the same as the 6 core 1600. When streaming they both still game the same but the quad drops a few frames on the recording.
The R3 quad loses a couple of fps gaming but is totally useless for recording or streaming where it loses most of the frames.
The FX 8370 has the best frame rate for gaming but although it gives a good twitch recording it loses 15fps in the game when doing it. Will be testing 6 core & quad core FX next.

I wonder where the 4690k would rank on this.

I play on a 4690k @ 4.2ghz gtx 1080 @ 1440p
my fps range from 93 to 122 on a custom setting=
AA ultra
PP med
textures med
distance low
everything else on very low
The scores here are fishy and make no sense.
