Hey lads, any of you know the best best money efficient GPU I can buy to run pubg whilst running on a free sync monitor? :')

StarShock · 10 Oct 2017 at 08:44

one of these is likely the best option

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x PowerColor Radeon RX 580 Red Dragon V2 8192MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £248.99
1 x PowerColor Radeon RX 580 Red Devil 8192MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £269.99

Total: £529.48
(includes shipping: £10.50)

Though if you want to go cheap as possible, I have played it on an rx 460 2gb, and its fine at low settings, not great but playable.

Was in a brilliant (or awful depending on your point of view) squad game last with a few on here. Got a car and had to drive from Mylta Power to the western bridge to military island. On passing through Mylta we had one UAZ start following us and firing pop shots, then a Dacia, then a Buggy, then another Dacia, then we drove past a house with a squad outside their UAZ and they started shooting at everybody.

Somebody likened it to Mad Max!

It was absolutely the most bonkers moment in this game so far for me. Chaos!

Never played squads because I can’t use my mic as I only play when our daughter is napping.

Tried it today and got my first chicken dinner! Completely nothing to do with me, didn’t get a single kill, died in the last 4 but I’m still counting it. My role essentially ended up being bait.

Was great playing with someone more experienced though, think it’s the way forwards even without a mic.

That was firmly in the brilliant. It was intense AF.

What was much more entertaining was that at 4hrs 22mins he didn't know what a leper was.

It's a shame that streamer is obviously using a macro for burst fire, for someone clicking that fast his finger trigger knuckle never moves.

I tried my best to lose them by taking another route but they all just followed on. Then my car ran out of fuel, ChrisBEANS got isolated on his own and your buggy wheel got blown off in no-mans land, leaving only Ubers UAZ to flee with, again with fuel redlining.

It's also a shame that every time he opens his mouth I'd love to punch him in the throat. Seems like a pretty good player but Jesus he sounds like a proper bell. His mate sounded perma stoned!!

Shame you can't squad up with some of us, makes it a whole other game. Some of the banter is epic. There's also some seriously decent players in the OcUK group.

Managed to do a Brian Harvey and ran myself over earlier, was down to the last 10 as well

the_tobzster · 11 Oct 2017 at 01:02

Finally managed to upgrade from my old FX 8320 to Ryzen 5 1600, runs like a dream now

I do get pretty bad drops in some instances though, like near yasnaya for example it can half the fps in the area I don't get it. Is it because the game is still quite badly optimized or it's server side? At least it's miles better than my old rig though.

It's had next to no optimization. It will come.

Don't worry your optimism will come

There will be some good improvements soon now epic are doing their fortnite and adding optimisations to the engine bluehole just have to enable them.

Heck bluehole could just decrease the player model resources and it would be a huge improvement. They'll probably just add a toggle to remove player models ingame...

True bro, I hope they do it soon, I feel like they are prioritising money making schemes (crates and keys) more than crucial updates to the game. Like when is vaulting even coming, it's been forever, the new map will be out before it lol.

That being said, I've already clocked up 385 hours on this game and I still can't put it down, it's just so god damn fun. Also totally filthy that I get like 90 fps now, I feel like I have such an advantage over the majority of players

NeoReloaded · 11 Oct 2017 at 19:01

Saw this hit over 2 million concurrent players yesterday... crazy :eek:

To be fair theres only been one crate and key system and it was avaliable for two weeks a couple of months ago, it hasn't been back since unless you go buying them on the steam marketplace.

I do feel they appear to be slowing development though. Ofc I don't know what theyre doing behind the scenes but I hope the next update is a big one, bugfixes more than anything. The new map and vaulting would be nice too though
