what's up guys js2 sends here and we are going to continue with our minimum specs investigations with modern games to see whether or not you can actually play these triple-a titles at their minimum requirements and up today it's probably one of the most popular games to hit the market over the last year just absolutely sweeping when it comes to popularity and that being pub G or player unknowns battlegrounds really weird name but pub G you've probably heard of it by now at least spoil the ones you love this Valentine's Day with the gift of awesome portable gaming performance from MSI featuring Intel i7 processors Nvidia graphics and high refresh rate displays nothing says I love you like MSI and just to show how much we love you here at JSU since we're giving away to MSI optics 27-inch gaming monitors worldwide to learn more about MSI's light up of gaming laptops and to enter our Valentine's Day Giveaway click the link in the description below so if you've heard any previous rumors about this game or about it being unoptimized or just poor-performing that's probably true considering up until this point it was considered an early access title you know early access means it means give us your money now because we want your money now we don't want to earn it yet and hopefully we get all the bugs fixed but if you experience any bugs and while we're still developing it so I digress guys what we are going to do right here is we are going to test this with the minimum settings and then make a couple of upgrades to the system to see how it performs so the minimum requirements for pub G is Windows 7 or higher we are running Windows 10 and Intel Core i3 4340 which I don't have so I opted to go with the AMD FX series and it's recommending a 6300 now it will have a 6300 I have a 6100 so we're talking bulldozer here versus I think it was piledriver piledriver I think was was the successor to bulldozer but anyway I look up user benchmark reviews to see what the difference in performance between the two was and it was anywhere between 9 to 11 percent across the board faster the 6300 anyway so what I did was I applied 810 percent overclock to my 6100 did a benchmark run and a couple of other benchmarks to see how it compared and I was spot-on so I pretty much have got my 6100 running at 6300 speeds so a stock 6300 speeds so obviously your performance can if you overclock and that's no different here so memory it's recommending six gigabytes of video memory that's a weird number I don't have two gigabyte sticks laying around so I've got a single 8 gig stick of ddr3 running 1600 so it's Corsair Vengeance Ram running 1600 and I've got a gtx 660 installed which is what it recommends if you have an AMD side of things the equivalent would be the HD 7850 don't have one of those we are running a 6100 overclocked to 6300 8 gigs of ram with a single stick so single channel not dual channel and we are running a gtx 660 and of course you need 30 gigabytes of space we are running this on an SSD and it's already running right here so let's just jump right in if we take a look at the settings you can see we got a fraps counter up in the corner at showing 42 frames per second in the menu give us a mixture of settings between medium and low mostly medium I think the post processing and anti-aliasing is what's gonna be hitting our FPS the most so I'm gonna go ahead and drop those down to low right now and see what happens to our counter up in the corner so you know it only went one fps so I think when we get in the game we'll see some improvement there yeah so let's go ahead and just get in here and see how it goes now I'm a terrible pub G player I'm really really bad no judging make fun all you want I'm terrible I've never gotten a chicken dinner I think my profile shows I've killed one person so what whatever is what it is this is all about the FPS not how good I can play so it's not looking too promising yet I don't think we're gonna be hitting 1080 60 FPS necessarily the closer we get to the ground I guess we'll see but right now we're flying through the air even looking up at the clouds I'm not able to get that 60 FPS tray oh god oh god I could be one of those guys that gets stuck in the tree by everyone parachuting yeah so as you can see we're sitting about 40 FPS right here and you got to ask yourself at what point are you willing to trade off frames per second for the sake of just being able to play the game so I'd like to try and stay alive long enough to change the settings here so let's see if I just go ahead and drop this down to low low settings all around and you can see we gained about five FPS here inside the buildings not looking too promising here without the anti-aliasing and the view distance it's probably very dangerous to be walking around outside as you can see outside here we're still only getting high 30s low 40s on the FPS let's go down to very low let's see if that's possible I didn't really change anything so we're gonna go down to 720p and that seemed to help a little bit let's go from medium 720 nope low 720 what if we do this we're gonna do medium and you go low post-processing low anti-aliasing I mean okay I mean we can play the FPS has certainly improved it's just under 60 but we're not gonna be hitting 1080p 60fps even on the very low settings so what I think we'll do after this is we will overclock this graphics card a little bit to see what happens the problem is it looks like we're playing through like a fuzzy filter if that makes sense okay so all I did right now is overclock be graphics card seventy-five megahertz on the core and 100 megahertz on the RAM I'm gonna go ahead and bump up the fan a little bit too so that we don't get any thermal throttling or any any possibility of that I wanna keep the speed going and you can see in the menu we already jumped up to 68 now 720 that was terrible I would rather game at the lowest possible settings in 1080 than even higher settings in 720 unless I had a 720p monitor going down to 720 on a 1080p monitor is more it looks terrible compared to just playing a native resolution now this is not the exact same map and that's gonna be what's hard about testing something like pub G is the fact that the maps are you know there's different Maps but it's it seems to be a pretty consistent gaming experience and as you can see now in the starting area we're sitting up in the 60s already it's cuz we right we're on very low I'm gonna change these settings real quick see if we can't just go low and see what happens okay so low put us into the 40s 50s someone go very low post-processing see I bump this up right there so post-processing seems to be a big hit on the system right there unfortunately it's not translating to as equal of a performance increase in the game as you can see we are down into the 20s so I don't know how much that's gonna be the airplane but make once we're down the ground and all the textures have loaded then and this is gonna be vram right here all these textures popping in and stuff that's gonna be highly vram related remember we're only running two gigabytes of vram in this feeling anyway a lot of people coming right here oh yeah okay yeah I don't like the overclock alright so seventy-five megahertz wasn't working on the core I went ahead and dropped it down to 50 and I reduced the member well let the memory 200 cuz I'm pretty sure the memory is going to be fine so let's try that again oh right here gunshots okay so yeah I mean it looks like we're still chillin in the upper 40s what would be great is if I just killed one person just one person that's all I ask yeah we are still looking at the mid 30s upper 40s and 1080 1080 with the minimum requirements is not looking too good know what wait client what were the the wall right there and it was a big opening all right one last attempt here 1080p very low yeah so even the very low settings with this hardware is not going to yield us 60fps I killed a guy Wow sounds are all jacked up do you hear that so obviously we're not gonna get 1080p 60fps at any settings even with overclocking this a little bit with the minimum requirements so 720p 60 sure on low settings if you have a 720p monitor right so we're gonna do is we're going to do a small upgrade to this machine I could go straight to the recommended which is a risin 5 1600 a 1066 gigabyte or higher or a core i5 7600 it doesn't even have an AMD recommendation for the graphics card which is kind of funny for the recommended settings doesn't have AMD so what I'll do right now is I'll just grab another graphics card something that's not quite as far as a 1060 but we'll see how we this goes and I'm gonna add another stick of RAM into this to give it dual channel and kind of see what happens remember we're on ddr3 here so I'm trying to avoid by going to that next recommended is going to ddr4 because I know that's gonna increase the cost of the system significantly given the price of RAM and especially graphics cards so the idea here is we have the mindset of we had an old system that were maybe found some Craigslist deals and we're gonna try and give ourselves a better gaming experience for not a lot of money so our hypothetical system was upgraded via Craigslist that's the idea here you guys keep telling me to use used parts in these videos so that's what we're doing we added another stick of matched Ram so now we have 16 gigs of ddr3 running at 1600 and I upgraded the graphics card to a nitro 380 X from sapphire so this is a 4 gigabyte card significantly more powerful than gtx 660 and we are running these same exact motherboard cpu combo as before an FX 6100 on a 970 chipset but I pushed the overclock even farther we have more cooling Headroom so we pushed the over clocks to 4.4 that's now giving us nearly one gigahertz overclock from factory so the question now is can we now play at 1080p and regarding pricing of this graphics card I looked it up I looked at the price of 380 X's on eBay just like anything else there's definitely some fluctuation there's one up here for $400 that's way overpriced but I'm looking at one right now for 229 so yeah there's definitely some fluctuating prices kind of the downside of when you're trying to deal with used stuff as your results are going to vary based on your region so let's fire this back up and see what happens already the system is much more snappy just because of the fact that we have so much more overclock happening and dual channel memory dual channel is probably the bigger upgrade here than anything at least when it comes to system resources well our menu FPS has jumped significantly up to a hundred fps so there's that I mean that's an improvement I'm not gonna bother changing the settings until I get into a match though we've seen the menu doesn't mean anything that's way smoother than it was before holy crap there's nothing like pub G C right now with the 1080p low settings or very low settings we're getting nearly 90 fps what I'm gonna do right now is I'm gonna go ahead and try and find some cover here in Iraq we're gonna go back to medium see what happens if we go meet him so where FPS looks like it's sticking still in the 60s so we're looking at 66 63 this is doable this is very doable and I probably should get myself oh I'm I'm so gonna die I'm I'm so screwed alright let's see how much we should get down here well we at least yeah I'm so far out of the the play area it's not even funny like on an island practically over here I am on an island geez so let's see what happens if I bump this up even more so now we're on 1080 high let's kind of do a look around to get everything to pop in and load the loading new textures and looks like we're sitting right around 57 58 not bad so what if we go and take our settings here and we take post-processing and put that to medium an anti-aliasing to medium so we gain one FPS anti-aliasing very low not really changing a whole lot I mean we were able to achieve the 1080p 60 frames per second on medium and high settings right we're on high settings with a mixture of high and medium and we are actually getting pretty smooth experience given the level of our hardware I mean remember this is a this is a very low-end CPU I know that some people are not gonna like hearing that but this CPU is dated it was the initial architecture that launched the FX series the bulldozer it was unfortunately terrible of IPC's it just didn't really live up to the standard and it is pushing seven yes seven years old to came out 2011 guys seven year old CPU running pub G and we are getting a 60 FPS average here we're getting pretty damn close to the 60fps number and I haven't even overclocked the GPU yet so I'm going to go ahead and overclock this graphics card slightly and see if this helps at all so I just overclocked it about 60 megahertz it's nothing incredibly you know let's go to 1150 bump the memory up to 1600 and we're still going and we just crashed I think the takeaway here is that if you go up to the recommended and go with a 1066 gigabyte and then I 570 600 K or Rison 1600 you're obviously going to play 1080p high settings 60 FPS no problem whatsoever the fact that we were able to do it on this CPU and this much older recommended hardware then hey there you go shows pub G has come a long way anyway guys thanks for watching today's video if you have any recommendations on games that we should do this with I like doing this sort of testing I think it's exciting and I think this is much more realistic to the average gamer because I think this PC represents more of what is in the average home then obviously what you see here in this studio so sound off in the comments below guys tell me what you think of today's video and what games you think we should test thanks for watching guys and as always I'll see you in the next you
