Hi, I finally managed to save up 700 extra bucks for a new gaming PC, does anyone have a good build for 700 dollars. I'd like to be able to play Dayz of course, on probably the highest setting, maybe BF3 on medium to highest, farcry 3? I need it to be 700 dollars only, not willing to go over that. Shipping costs, monitor, mouse, and keyboard not included. Thanks!

Thanks

There is one main problem with DayZ, that nor do the developers or experienced players see, and that's optimization with different computer specs. DayZ right now has intensely bad problems with it's optimization, not only do you need to waste tons of money on a system to play it, even when you do, you get low fps, lag, which is why the servers have to be shut down every couple of minutes or hours. If you ask any AVERAGE or beginning PC gamer: "Have you ever played DayZ before?" Most of them believe it or not will answer with a no, and why: "My computer can't play it" or "I get too much lag" And THAT is what's keeping many potential gamers from playing DayZ. The developers are hard at work with the standalone for our enjoyment, and I, like many people, appreciate that, but they NEED to do something about optimizing the game for different computer spec ranges. This is why consoles are so preminent over PC gaming, because of ease of access to the average consumer. I am hoping to see the new standalone DayZ to be a great break through in the world of gaming. -Desert

and then when you get it to work it lags on the lowest settings

Well I'm trying to run it at Medium right now, but getting an FPS of about 23 in plains, and then around trees and buildings it sometimes drops to 15, basically making it unplayable. I would like to run it at medium with more than 30 fps atleast.

@Orlok, I'm running Win 7 Home Premium @Jony. Yeah the 610m isn't very amazing, but hey, the laptop was only 550 bucks and I can play pretty much any game out there on medium to high except dayz, for some reason.

So in order to run DayZ better on my computer, I was told by many people to install something called RAMDisk. I installed the free version yesterday, but I don't have the slightest idea on how to use it with Dayz. How do I use it so that I can run DayZ better. Specs: 4gb RAM Nvidia 610m 2gb i7 Quad Core 2,5ghz If you saw my other thread, my computer runs DayZ badly.. considering I have decent specs, it shouldn't, but I'm hoping RAMDisk will fix this.

looks like a bandit was sniping

I have about 3 antiviruses and it detected no viruses on dayzcommander

Are you using DayZcommander or something else?

My laptop runs incredibly cool and quiet, even when struggling with a game. I don't exactly know why it runs so bad, maybe it's the RAM?

This happens a lot when you try running it through Steam in Operation Arrowhead. Install DayzCommander, it's quicker, easier, and I haven't had any problems so far, it's basically a launcher with servers. And you don't have to install dayz again, it detects it on your computer, it also detects updates.

But it's an i7 QUAD CORE, it IS a very powerful processor, and from what CanYouRunIt.com told me, I should be able to run it at the highest graphics at about 60 fps.

It's weird, I can run other games like Black ops that are MUCH more graphics intensive in around high settings at 60 fps. Yet Dayz lags on me. Who knows, it might be a problem with the way my quad core processor is configured. I really have no idea why it runs so badly.

I have a fairly decent laptop, Nvidia 610m 2gb, Intel i7 Quad core, and 4 gigs of RAM, but I can barely run DayZ on my computer at a good framerate. In order for me to get higher than 20 fps I need to put it at low, which makes the game look really bad, and even then it still lags. I have tried all the tricks in the book to increase my fps, but no luck, Any help I can get? Thanks
