[Greaper_]

the last 3 days i changed my Gpu from 2080 to 7900 xtx and when a smoke grenade comes from 280 fps i have 21 . my drivers are changed properly with ddu app , So the game now for me is unplayable at least at ranks, you cant play like this

Hello.

Can you post me the rest of your system please?

The 7900 xtx seems to have some temperature issues, so one thing you can try is to underclock your card.

You can do so by using MSI Afterburner to reduce the power limit and core clock.

This is how I save 80 watts while not losing any or better, much performance.

I do use 78% power limit and -15 core clock. Your card is even better than my 2080Ti, so you probably have more potential to reduce it further. This also does decrease your temperatures significantly.

Don't buy AMD graphics cards. They are notorious for overheating and becoming unstable. Nvidia is a much more refined choice for overall stable performance. I learned that the hard way when I had two systems with the same specs but one AMD and the other NVIDIA. AMD is not properly optimized for this game, unfortunately.

@Greaper_

Thanks!

If you used 2080 before without issues, it's most likely related to your new GPU and other customers did report some heat issues there.

I'm not surprised because your card is high end and 24 Gb of Vram speaks for itself.

Did you check your temperatures?

Changing the driver is also recommended. Upgrade but also downgrade, depending on your current driver version.

Please don't use Direct x 11 enhanced or 12, both are still in beta.
You can check your settings in the graphic options of PUBG down below.

Verify the files of PUBG and see how it goes.

my temperatures was preety low at 40 degrees ..they are to low for that gpu i think..but now i m thinking that the witcher was crashing yesterday after 3 min playing and i changed the direct12 to 11 and doesnt crashed again, maybe is that i should try..thnx for the advices though m8

What you can do is, join the training match and do the same but record it.
Google PUBG support and open a ticket and explain what did happen and provide as much information as you can and also the video. This could be some conflict between PUBG and specific hardware setup etc, so the devs have to take a look into it.

Did you try a different GPU driver?

For the time being you can turn off or lower Post Processing and Particles those two setting seem to have some weird affect on AMD GPU's in this game.

[Greaper_]

there is not other driver for 7900xtx out yet

[Greaper_]

So update... i changed the direct11 to direct 11 enhanced and i lose only 40 fps so it doesnt matter from 290 to 250

Do you still have these drops to 40 while watching in the smoke?

Same problem with ryzen 5 5600 and rx 6700. Whenever i look smoke i have 20-30 fps.

I think they changed something with the smokes. Could it be the colored smoke?

I play at minimum graphic settings stuck at 144fps (Vsync). But the last 2 weeks I'm seeing my frames dropping to 50fps while walking inside 6 or 7 smokes.

I have a Ryzen 7 7700x, and a 2060super.

----
I'll change DX version to see if it fixes itself.

disable all sharpness settings on you ati gpu software and in game
