some games a 7700k can be upto 50 fps up on it.this is why the i5 2500ks will never get any slower

pubg is a modern game you need modern pcs.bf1 shows how badly the age has caught up with the i5 2500k. with fps drops down to as low as 40 fps in big 64 man battles.my 5820k for eg at same speed get min 120 fps at same settings.yet there is no issues with a i5 2500k.mates just upgraded from one aswell because of pubg with a 970 at 1080 was getting lows of 40 fps.not even all on ultra.so the best days are behind for the classic cpus.if you want to play pubg nicely use updated gear. if you on a 2011 cpu you cant be surprised it struggles with a modern 2017 game.

it struggles because the game is poo. not because it's crap.

i5 2500K when overclocked is still a very capable CPU. at stock it's pants though.

PUBG runs like crap on a £10K pc. Obviously better and faster components help as your brute forcing your way there but I wouldn't be upgrading just for this 1 game.

Games like BF, GTA, etc are all very demanding and not well optimised. I wouldn't be using them as examples for the average person to upgrade. They also don't run very well on top systems.

The I5 7600K is essentially the second best CPU from the KABYLAKE line up. Which is the current gen intel CPU and it's only slightly faster than a overclocked 2500K.

If you have a 2500K it's still good enough for most games for the next 2-3 years. Yes it will eventually become unsuitable for 1080p gaming but I wouldn't use games that run like crap to base that decision on.

2500k & 980 here. Can confirm it runs 'OK' obviosuly not pushing the 100 fps mark but fairly consistent 60-90.

I actually dropped my OC from 4.4 to 4.0. Not sure how CPU's work in terms of life span but I was getting some weird system lag issues and dropping my OC seemed to fix them.

A bind may help, but you can do it with simple key press coordination too.

Yeah i'm aware if you coordinate it right, you can do it with two key presses. However it was clear in their videos, they're using a bind as they never missed a single jump through a window.

yes the window bind is used by a lot of players.it makes places like school so easy to do it and can get you a lot of kills. im sure someone else will find a way round it. in heat of a battle jumping through a window at speed often gets you safe and the kill.without it many will have to change there game play style.

You could easily just create a keyboard macro.. game can't really block that.

There's also the control UI which 'lets' you set two actions for the same key, so long as you set them fast enough

Not anymore. That was patched out in the September update.

You may no longer set different features on a single key bind in the Options

It's not enabled, it just glitches out sometimes.

V_R · 19 Sep 2017 at 16:51

Ah fair enough, as I said I don't use the bind/ini glitch, I just press two buttons at once.

SixTwoSix · 19 Sep 2017 at 16:57

As someone said, as soon as vaulting comes it, the window glitch becomes a bit redundant.

I've had chicken dinners with my sons Pentium K @ 4.3Ghz and a 7950.

I've actually got a 100% win rate on NA servers on it too (1 played 1 win 2 kills, 43km travelled; only 5 of which were in a motor, boy I had to run that game.

)

I doubt it will be redundant. You can continue to shoot whilst crouch jumping, but I imagine vaulting will mean you're out of action for a while. Not that that makes a difference to me as I can't hit stuff whilst still, let alone jumping, but for some it may.

I said that! Its true though, why crouch jump out of windows when you can jump head first like a boss?

your overclock was probably unstable. maybe try 4.4 again with different settings.

90%+ of 2500K's can hit 4.4ghz with ease. I think like 60% of them can hit 4.5 ghz, after that it plummets with only around 5-10% being able to hit 4.8ghz and above.

400mhz is an additional 10% of power so it will be beneficial especially as sandybridge is roughly 25% less efficient than kabylake clock for clock

I was lucky with my 2500k, I had it upto 4.7ghz on air and it was very stable. It had a huge venom fan on it though to keep it cool. Thinking of upgrading the 1070 8gb G1 Gaming GPU, but I am unsure if it is worth it for bang vs buck atm.

gettothechopper · 20 Sep 2017 at 00:21

my 2500k is at 4ghz

get around 80fps with my rx580

1080p - decent textures, med aa, low shadows i think?

molinari · 20 Sep 2017 at 08:00

So with my i5 4690K, 8Gb RAM, and a Radeon R9 280, I'm getting between 30-50fps in third person, with most settings set to low. Will a GTX 1060 Mini 6Gb card be the easiest way to increase my FPS?

Flying_Hellfish · 20 Sep 2017 at 09:15

2600k @ 1080ti here.. @4k I stay in the Gsync zone for my monitor (30-60 fps) on ultra, but shadows on low. Mainly around 50fps.

I like the advice to go for kills early, I'm not used to the gunplay so I usually lose all firefights. I need practice!

The patch is live on non test servers....

Players,

Early Access – Week 26 – Patch Notes

UI/UX

Added the following feature to the Map Help section on the World Map: Marking your character's current position (Default key set to Insert)

Other

You may no longer modify ini files to set a key bind for multiple actions on the same key

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug that enabled angled foregrip to attach to Tommy Gun

Fixed a graphic bug regarding building locations

Fixed an animation bug that appeared when a character used healing or boosting items in the driver's seat

Fixed a bug that did not cancel a player's reload if the character was knocked out during the reload

Fixed a bug where an uncooked grenade could explode if a character was knocked out while holding it

Fixed a graphic bug that would cause a black box texture to appear while scoped when Anti-Aliasing was set to Low or Very Low in the Settings

See you in-game,
