Hello,

I have a pretty good computer (at least I think), but I'm getting horrible performance in the new game PUBG. Below are my computer specs, but at important points in the game, I get computer lag spikes. It really makes the game less fun. Any suggestions or insight into what's happening?

Thanks!
Ken

The CX600 can handle that card, but may not last under heavy loads for very long (6-12 months); they are apparently made with low-quality capacitors that do not handle heat well. Perhaps not immediately, but you should probably anticipate replacing it fairly soon. In the meantime, make sure it is able to cool itself (e.g. if bottom-mounted, your case doesn't rest directly on carpet; if top-mounted, you have a balance of intake/exhaust fans so the PSU isn't fighting against too many exhaust fans).

minimum gpu is a gtx 660/7850

so I reckon that is why, you barely meet it/are lower depending on the exact gpu you have


it is also early access so its going to run like crap

GPU upgrade would depend on what your monitor rez is... GTX 1070 in the low $400's and the GTX 1080's are in the low $500's to the $600's, depending on vendor/model.

You know what your budget is, but if you're looking at longevity between these two cards, the GTX 1080 is the superior card at any rez, even at 1080p, it will allow higher settings and DSR to 4K or anything in between 1080p and 4K for that matter.

You've already got a Z97 board that allows you to OC your unlocked 4790K and with them being no longer in production, you'd be looking at what's left in stock and an "upgrade" may only add a few more features than your board sports which may or may not improve performance; keep what you have and save the money.
