had a moment of madness and considered buying a 9900k to replace my 8600k,

would I see any improvement?? only really play pubg.

reason I considered it, I could leave it basically stock in the bios and a have the same speeds without the worry of the OC stability/lifespan/temp
 
Yeah i would get the 9900k and overclock the beast around 5ghz should last you years worth of usage.

As for the difference or improvement in pubg i think it would hardly make a difference but it is nice to have 8 cores and 16 threads so in the long run will be worth it.

Be better off upgrading your ram as your CPU is more than enough. You'll see a bigger gain from upgrading ram IMO

maybe delid and OC 8600K to its max aswell.
 
Definitely worth buying if you plan on having the CPU for a while as its well future proofed. It should last a long time and if you decide to OC it would be even more of a beast, so its a good idea if you're upto spending that much for it

Recently made the jump from 3000 C15 to 3866 C17 and there is barely a difference.

OP like me will just have to accept that PUBG is poorly programmed.

I still get dips below 100fps at 1440 with my set-up with no apparent bottleneck as CPU +GPU usage are both well under 100% usage
 
There was a video on youtYou a guy researched PUBG and ram speed.
It seemed to scale with increasing RAM speeds.

Why anyone is still playing that pre alpha broken game though is beyond me!
