So i searched are my pc can run pubg, i tested out in game-debate.com, and it says i can play on medium-high settings, so i went to buy pubg. So i run this game and i see settings was high. So i clicked play and in the lobby i get about ~20-30fps, i'am just like WHAT? So i set settings to very low and watched tutorial how to increase fps, i was changing settings in nivdia control panel, after i change settings it was playable but not so i expected (In cities i was getting ~40fps, below 58-80fps) , if i add 8 GB rams (It will be 16GB) more it will improve my gaming experience? Or maybe better will be GPU upgrade? If GPU what GPU you will recommend for me? Thanks for help

Hi, I think your bottleneck is your graphics card at the moment. Having said this, the CPU is also a bottleneck. PUBG will use whatever you throw at it.
So first priority is to get a better GPU. I would say at least a 1060, but faster is better still.

To give you an example, I had an i7 3770 and I had around 40fps in the lobby when viewing everyone by the plane from a specific point, sometimes dropping to 20. I had this with GTX 1080 and 16gb of DDR3 1600 RAM. Then I upgraded to an I7 7700K and the framerate had a huge boost to around +-70FPS.
While the CPU ugprade can make a huge difference in your case I think the GPU is even a bigger problem.

So your upgrade path should be in order of importance: GPU 1060 or better, CPU (e.g. i5 8400), 16GB of RAM (preferably ddr4 for 8th gen CPU), SSD (makes a difference with frame drops and textures loading much faster), in the end you would also really need a 144hz monitor to make things smoother. The 144hz monitor only makes sense after your frames are more than 60fps, and believe me it does make a huge difference in the overall PUBG experience.

Hope this helps,
