PUBG — optimize game settings (day 1)
Update (Sep 2017):
i found the reason of blurry is related to setting “Screen Scale” after do few round game/display card setting turning.
so here is my latest quick solution for X51 R1 user (Focus to increase FPS):
System:
- RAM: 8GB ram not enough for pubg so do everything to reduce system memory usage.
- — no background app running,
- — close high memory usage software,
- — chrome browser background task
- Monitor the HDD usage and disable service superfetch if 100% HDD usage happend
- Windows 10 — Game Mode enabled
- Windows 10 — performance options, ref: https://support.microsoft.com/en-hk/help/4002019/windows-10-improve-pc-performance
Game Setting
- PUBG windows mode and resolution 1280 X 720
- Screen Scale = 70
- Very Low Setting
Emperor LemonFace give me some suggestion to optimize game settings
Ref to comments:
You should download ReShade to remove blur and improve colors. It doesn’t affect performance and it increases visuals. In the launch options you can put: +vt_maxPF 8 -high -malloc=system -USEALLAVAILABLECORES +mat_antialias 0 window -force-featurelevel-11–0 It should help performnce by a bit. You could also add -lowmemory as you only have 8GB but I don’t have any experience with that one. You could also tweak the Nvidia Controlpanel settings, if available
So, I do a quick research and update my steam launch options:
-refresh 60 +vt_maxPPF 8 -malloc=system -sm4 -USEALLAVAILABLECORES +mat_antialias 0 -window -lowmemory -nomansky
- -refresh <rate> — Force a specific refresh rate.
- +vt_maxPPF # — Adjusts GPU Transcode to improve texture streaming performance where # is 8 for processors with 2 or 4 cores, 16 is processors with 6 or more cores
- -malloc=system can be used to force using Windows allocator even when allocator dlls are present
- -sm4
It forces the game to use Shader Model 4 instead of the usual Shader Model 5. The game looks and feels almost the same but you get much better performance. There is more a matte look to the game but it is not bad at all. Best performance boost out of all of these options. - -USEALLAVAILABLECORES
This does exactly as it specifies. This will ensure that all of your CPU cores are being used while running PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. - +mat_antialias default is 0 but can’t find description.
- -window Forces the engine to start in windowed mode
- -lowmemory
This launches the game in 4gb memory mode. If you have less than 16 gigs of RAM then this is basically a must have for better performance. - -d3d10
Using sm4 forces the game into using DX10 instead of DX11 and this does the same thing. - -nomansky
This disables a lot of the detailed sky features like a lot of clouds and super stary night sky. This minimizes all of those but you still get them.
Update my game FPS cap from 30 to 50
FrameRateLimit=50.000000
