Does View Distance affect seeing players in PUBG?

No. View Distance only affects environmental LOD (building detail, terrain detail). Player models always render at the same distance regardless of this setting. Keep it Low for free FPS.

What are the best PUBG settings for competitive play?

Set everything to Very Low except Textures (Medium for readability) and Anti-Aliasing (Medium for spotting enemies). Keep Shadows and Foliage Very Low for competitive visibility advantage. Use DX11 Enhanced.

How to boost FPS in PUBG?

The biggest gains: Post-Processing Very Low (+34% by disabling SSAO), Effects Very Low (+25%), Shadows Very Low (+11%), Foliage Very Low. Use DX11 Enhanced instead of DX12. These alone can nearly double your FPS.

Does PUBG support DLSS?

Yes, PUBG supports both DLSS and FSR. On budget hardware, FSR Performance can help maintain playable FPS. On Ultra tier at 4K, DLSS Quality provides the best balance. At 1080p/1440p on mid-high hardware, native resolution is recommended.
