PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS

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.

Percentages show how much potential FPS of the stronger component is lost because the other component has a lower FPS ceiling.
🧠Methodology

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.

A component can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.
