[2022] Do not underestimate the value of your CPU as related to your game performance

Recently I upgraded my CPU to an I7-11700 and it nearly doubled my frames, on the same graphics card(2060). I had been holding off on upgrading my CPU for a long time because I wanted to future proof with DDR5...but I finally just built a new DDR4 system.

I had perfectly fine performance mid/late game but my early game performance had been TERRRRIBLE in the recent update. All that went away with the new CPU.

I know it's well established on here that PUBG is a CPU intensive game but there's no doubt that the gaming community is GPU obsessed.

It's important to consider bottlenecking! More cores!

Just something to consider before you go out and spend a lot of money on a GPU. MOBO/CPU upgrades can be cheaper and more effective depending on your setup.

If you don't need to hear this, then cool. But I've gotten the impression that at least some of the community is somewhat new to gaming and were brought in by PUBG (Which is great!)
