PUBG has improved significantly since its early access days but remains a demanding title. Large maps require aggressive asset streaming, making it sensitive to RAM and storage speed. 16GB of RAM is practically mandatory; with only 8GB, you will likely experience stuttering. An SSD is also crucial to ensure textures and buildings load in on time.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 70 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 68 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 40 to 80 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 279% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1060) for PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS. The Core i3-8100T is 57% below recommended, but 13% above minimum.
The Core i3-8100T determines the performance ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the GPU has headroom.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1708. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 70 FPS, equivalent to 0.04 FPS per dollar.

At 4k medium, the Core i3-8100T sets the ceiling at about 59 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 245 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 76% (FPS gap: 186 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Core i3-8100T is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the GeForce RTX 4090 rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 69% | CPU Limits GPU 68% | CPU Limits GPU 62% | CPU Limits GPU 72% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 62% | CPU Limits GPU 67% | CPU Limits GPU 59% | CPU Limits GPU 70% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 69% | CPU Limits GPU 76% | CPU Limits GPU 70% | CPU Limits GPU 74% |
We estimate the maximum FPS the processor can sustain and the maximum FPS the graphics card can sustain in each setting, then compare those limits directly.
Limit Factor formula: (stronger - weaker) / stronger. Example: if CPU ceiling is 200 FPS and GPU ceiling is 140 FPS, then GPU limits CPU by 30%.
CPU Limits GPU means the processor ceiling is lower. GPU Limits CPU means the graphics ceiling is lower. Balanced means the FPS ceilings are close enough that the gap is negligible.
The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.
See how your processor and graphics card compare against the game official minimum and recommended system specs. The placement of your hardware is calculated using relative synthetic performance scores to help you gauge overall playability.
Your CPU is 57% below recommended and your GPU is 279% below recommended, but both meet minimum specs. Playable at Low/Medium settings, 1080p or below.

Yes, the Core i3-8100T paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 68 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 279% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 57% below the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1708 ($59 CPU (Rank #213 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Since the CPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger processor will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, the Ryzen 9 9950X is a great upgrade option for around $649 (Rank #5 for value).
For PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Core i3-8100T is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce RTX 4090 has extra headroom that a faster processor could take advantage of. This is especially noticeable at 1080p where CPU performance matters more. CPU-limited at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS does not currently support Frame Generation technologies like DLSS 3 or FSR 3. Your performance is based entirely on native rendering. If the game adds support in a future update, newer GPUs will benefit the most.
PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS requires at minimum a Core i5-4430 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 960 (GPU) with 8 GB RAM and 40 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-6600K and GeForce GTX 1060 with 16 GB RAM. Your setup meets the minimum requirements but falls short of the recommended specs. You may need to lower some settings for smooth performance.
These PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS FPS results are not arbitrary numbers. They come from calculations informed by thousands of real gaming benchmarks, and the typical accuracy range is around 10% to 15%. That makes them far more useful than generic FPS calculators that simply invent values without a benchmark foundation. Actual in-game performance can still vary with drivers, updates, RAM configuration, cooling, and the exact scene being rendered.
Performance estimates are based on synthetic benchmarks and hardware capabilities.
Results may vary based on drivers, OS, and background processes.
