You see, your hardware is on the borderline area. More so because, the platform is old and obsolete and the modern games has more technically advanced APIs' that these old hardwares struggle to optimize. Also the IPC of all AMD chips before Ryzen, including your current BullDozer and future PileDriver were very sluggish compared to Intel chips.
Point being, you need to upgrade your platform to a modern one in case you want lag free experience on high to ultra settings. On that platform you cannot expect...

Point being, you need to upgrade your platform to a modern one in case you want lag free experience on high to ultra settings. On that platform you cannot expect anything like that, specially on higher settings.
Also PUBG is equallu cpu, gpu and ram dependent. So you need to have good balance of all.
