I recently bought a new HP Z600 case, here's the specs:
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 2.40 GHZ (2 processors)
GTX 1050ti G1 Gaming
24 GB RAM
Hewlett-Packard 0B54h Motherboard

I dunno how the 2 processor work together but my problem is I get low FPS while playing PUBG for example, it drops to 30 although I saw several people that plays GTA V 4K Ultra settings on stable FPS with the same specs but even lower.

Any suggestions?

Xeons are workstation CPUs and not really geared towards gaming so their performance for it will be mediocre to mid tier at best and not really stack up to a solid multi-core I or X series.

People may get better frame rate on GTA because GTA is a more heavy GPU game where as PUBG is sort of a balance of both and not very well optimized. Also GTA is several years old and has had alot of optimization since launch.

It seems there were 2 different motherboard versions, and assorted BIOS for that with varying CPU support, and some COUs not supported at all.

I'm not seeing the X5680 X5690 or X5687 running here.

Any of those would make a nice gaming system. But you can see what is possible with that system.
Z400, or Dell T3500 single CPU machines would be a better place to start for a gaming rig.

Then there's this.
