PUBG or players unknown battlegrounds is the most played battle royale out there played by millions of players. But all the players have come to the same conclusion after playing the game — the FPS lag in Pubg is the worst. Like no sugarcoating required we all know that unless you have an RTX card or a Titan card, you cannot get 144 fps or higher FPS in PUBG at High settings. Heck, we can hardly reach 60 fps by adjusting all settings and putting everything to low. So what can we do to increase the FPS OF PUBG PC?

Well turns out it’s possible. Though it takes some patience and effort. After all high FPS does not come easy. Here are the best settings for PUBG PC.

1)PUBG In-game settings

Launch PUBG PC and open the settings by clicking on the options icon on the top right(Looks like a gear).

Now open the Graphics tab. I will explain and show you how to set every setting in PUBG PC. Do note that adjusting the graphics system requires a restart of the game so that the settings are correctly applied.

1)Display settings

Display Mode settings: Full Screen.

Fullscreen is the best option for gaming as a gamer. Distractions like borders make you lose focus sometimes the less you have, the better. Not something you want while playing PUBG PC.

Resolution Settings: use your native resolution. Do not force render.

Using your default resolution is the best choice for performance and quality balance unless your PC is too old to run at the default resolution. But if you need to reduce it below 720p, Then it is better not to play the game. Not to be rude, but players will spot you, but you won’t be able to spot them — a terrible disadvantage for gaming and PUBG PC.

Lobby FPS Cap: Doesn’t matter

In-Game FPS Cap: Unlimited or Display Based depending on your system.

If you have a better display and a decent graphics card, then limit the fps to your screens refresh rate. (60,120,144,244) etc

Note: unlocking the frame rate might cause overheating problems if your system has heating issues if you are using a laptop.

Smoothed Frame Rate:

You want this option disabled no matter what because it adds unnecessary input lag while playing PUBG. It should always be off for an online game.

PUBG Advanced settings

Render Scale: 100 or 90.

Do not change this setting unless it’s a last resort. Going below 100 will cause blurry textures and will mess up your gaming. You’ll die in sniper battles obviously. But it does give an fps boost. Do not go below 90.

FPP Camera FOV: 103 or (default)

This is a personal preference, but all the pro players I asked prefer to maximize the FOV.

A wider field of view (FOV) increases what you can see from the player’s viewpoint. It is best for both TPP AND FPP PUBG players. However, lower values will improve your performance. Test and see what you comfortable with. Otherwise, leave it at default.

2) Advanced Graphics settings

Overall Graphics Quality:  CUSTOM

We will review each setting and specify each according to our needs and gaming setup.

So let’s begin:

Anti-Aliasing: Very Low.

This setting has a Huge impact on FPS unless you have good graphics go with very low.

Note: Very Low: no Anti-Aliasing, Low: FXAA, Medium, and high: TAA.

Post-Processing: Very Low.

Minimal visual changes Keep it to very low and get the extra PUBG FPS you need for competitive games

Shadows: Very Low.

It has the 2nd biggest impact fps after textures. Always very low. You need the extra performance for textures. To save performance as much as you can always go with very low shadows.

Textures: Medium/High.

The texture quality setting in PUBG PC is essential for your gameplay. Make sure you use the best quality you can possibly use. If you a 4GB graphics or higher go with high settings. This will help you spot players and get easy kills. Especially while sniping.

Effects: Very Low.

This option affects the flash of enemy guns. Sniper players should put it to high. But it will cause a considerable fps hit So be warned.

If you are sniper keep it at high otherwise, go with very low. You will get better FPS and smoother gameplay.

Foliage: Very Low.

Always very low. It doesn’t matter if you have an RTX 2080TI. Keep it very low. No other setting can help you spot hidden players around the MAP as this setting can. So keep it as low as possible.

View Distance: Medium or Low

It hardly affects your fps unless you put it to high. I suggest keeping it to Medium instead of very low. I personally felt that the game lags with Very Low, and this is because, in order to render things only when you get close, more processing power is used. This might make the game lag.

Sharpen: On

Sharpen is excellent for spotting players and has a minor effect on fps. Turn this on. The graphics improvement is worth the 2-3 fps.

V-Sync: Off

Disable this as it creates lag and limits fps. Use it only if you have an RTX 2080TI. But then, why are you here?

Motion Blur: Off

Why do you want to blur anything? Never use blur for any games. The simple fact of professional gaming: Do not do anything which can hamper your vision while gaming. You need to spot enemies faster and accurately. Every nanosecond counts.

Once you are done with choosing your settings, click Apply to save the changes you just made.

Warning:

GameUserSettings.ini

DO NOT EDIT. Pubg will ban your account for game data tampering. Many online guides tell you do edit this. It’s a terrible idea. Do not do this. Pubg is extremely cruel with banning accounts.

3)PUBG Gameplay settings

Inventory screen character render: Off

Disable this option. It will boost the FPS by around 30%. I do not know why developers implemented it in such a power-hungry way. But this feature does more harm than good. turn it off gamers

Replay: Disabled

Disable this extra overhead. Unless you are recording or training for the professional tournament. Turn this feature off and get a performance boost. This takes a heavy toll on your Hard drive. FYI

Death Cam: Disabled

Similar to replay, this will take a lot of power and fps also it is unnecessary unless you want to stream the game online or make Youtube Videos.

2) Graphics card settings

Always update your graphics card drivers.

Update all the drivers. Also, make sure that you update direct x to the latest version. Use Driver Booster for updating all other drivers.
