If your frames feel inconsistent in PUBG, the problem is rarely a single setting — it's the stack. This guide walks the full chain from Windows to GPU to peripherals so the gains actually hold under load.

Start with a clean Windows baseline

The single biggest source of stutter we see is the OS scheduling background work during gameplay. Lock that down first and every later tweak gets more stable.

Set the power plan to High Performance (or Ultimate), disable startup apps you don't need, and turn off Memory Integrity if you're chasing every last frame — re-test after each change.

  • Power plan → High Performance / Ultimate
  • Disable non-essential startup apps in Task Manager
  • Turn off Game Bar + background recording
  • Set Graphics preference → High Performance for the game's .exe

Lock your GPU control panel

Driver-level settings override in-game ones, so a misconfigured control panel quietly caps PUBG. We standardise these on every build.

Force the GPU into its max performance state so it doesn't down-clock between rounds.

  • Power management → Prefer maximum performance
  • Low Latency Mode → Ultra (or Radeon Anti-Lag On)
  • Texture filtering → Performance / High performance
  • Disable in-game V-Sync; cap FPS just under your refresh instead

Kill input latency at the source

End-to-end latency is the metric that actually decides duels in PUBG — not raw FPS. Reflex/Anti-Lag, a sane FPS cap and high polling all stack here.

Enable NVIDIA Reflex (or the AMD equivalent) where supported, run your mouse at 1000Hz+ and disable any 'enhance pointer precision' acceleration in Windows.

  • NVIDIA Reflex → On + Boost (if available)
  • Mouse polling → 1000Hz minimum (8000Hz on supported sensors)
  • Windows pointer acceleration → Off
  • Fullscreen (exclusive) over borderless where the game allows it
// The TL;DR
  • Power plan → High Performance / Ultimate
  • Power management → Prefer maximum performance
  • NVIDIA Reflex → On + Boost (if available)
