any why dont the devs give us their uber knowledge as well. launch params would be a good start... i know arma3 has since gone away with most of the launch params were all used to. in favour of proper auto detect.

make it a multi vote rid of phantoms, persistence, gimmemoarfps

i posted my rig(s) on page 1 but the dying light rig is 5820k 4.6ghz 8gb ddr4 2666 gtx 970 rapeage first game to evenly use all my cores and my graphics card wants to melt as well, its fucking sweet. dl has a noise filter and film grain overlay, which eats up a few fps but makes the game look less crispy. so a popular mod is to remove it. google, steam forum has all the info http://greengamers.com/dying-light-how-to-disable-film-grain-increase-fps-performance/ just dont disable shadows unless you have to for performance

basically sum all this up 30 fps in cities is normal on whatever rig you find...its the limit of the optimization of dayz and its multiplayer woes. dying light unoptimized?? i get 100 fps constant in dying light, city, building, etc. only thing i did was remove the film grain. (somehow +10fps) not sure what you mean by unoptimized either.

i run standalone at my office on 2 pc's dual core 2.6 ghz - amd hd7700, configged sa to the tits and it runs mediocre at best. more of just a test if it was possible. 10-20 fps quad core i7 2.6ghz gtx 460 30fps at best home rig (shameless brag) 5820k @ 4.6ghz :) ddr4 8gb 2400mhz @2666 12-12-12 :))) gtx 970 fps in da wild- 100+ cities- 30-50 single core performance is key, i5, 4770, 4790k, 5960x, all irrelivant. my 4.2 ghz i5 does roughly the same as my 5820k (mind you the gtx 970 i have super sampling on 200% and it looks spectacular and runs as good as it gets)

also consider the headaches some people have with AMD setups for dayz and other games my intel 6 core required a shit ton of work to get working properly with dayz and arma. but the amd 6 core can do some great things when properly setup, be ready for a headache though. i almost regret building 5820k x99...i always think i should have done 4790k for cheaper and higher ghz 4/8 core. but i ended up winning the lottery on the 5820k and i got er at 4.6ghz with low vcore... but still cost me like 400$ more than a 4790k system actually for a tiny bit more money you could buy the i5 devils canyon and a gigabyte board and have way better gaming experience all around. and ditch the amd card for a nvidia and u would rock games for the next few years. single core performance is said to be maxed out at about 5ghz, so gaming is going to have to go more cores. but that being said they stil arent fully utilizing 4 cores yet, let alone hyper threading. so the i5 4 core devils canyon highly overclock would kill for a long time. then you could swap out in future for the 4790 when its good and cheap. or buy an x99 and be more future proof...but thats way more $ id say price an i5 dc gigabyte gtx 770? and see the price diffy. BUT YET, this system will play great dayz! but i hate AMD!

slow clap

grimey wins the thread, no doubt. stop ruining my game with ur niceness and road flares

thread win ...killed by the worst player ever... but honestly, is the object of dayz to be friendly to people?? then im playing wrong big time. why do people think KOS/trickery/backstabbing is bad? why do people have a problem with letting people play how they want?

Thoughts? cant get in any EXP servers, did the usual dances. removed beclient, re verified, etc. EXP only just says WAIT FOR HOST populated and unpopulated servers, tried em all. stable works fine. thank you

odd, i see population on the servers. mind you they are sporadic and highly pinged. so maybe false data

same here, but EXP only. any fix for that on EXP?

100% this is your problem... go on overclockers.net and goto the 3570k owners club, we will help you make ur machine sing

whats your processor speed? thats the biggest bottleneck in arma3/dayz

video card doesnt make the difference. however try googling dayz launch parameters, or lookup my thread. are you sure their "identical setup" is identical? no overclocks etc? basically you need 4.0ghz + to get a decent play (20 fps in cities is not horrible...lol, remember this game struggles on the best of the best systems, its the nature of the game and how much is going on) (you can see 20 fps in citites but then amazing fps in the forest, its the way she goes.) you can set your render to 150% and it wont effect ur fps, thanks to ur graphics card. and play around with the AA and AF to your liking AO off and post process off there is no magic also try your user profile and change max frames to 1 and detected frames to 1, but this didnt change anything for me. infact i put mine back to default, as the gtx 970 should handle it no problem for comparison sake, my fps @ 4.3 ghz OC was 25-30 in cities and 60-90 outside of cities but at 4.6 ghz overclock, cities are now at ~40 fps and forests about 60-110 fps but i have 6 core x99, but theoretically the game wont use more than 4 core anyways. i just read ur fps, thats normal dude, consider yourself oen of the lucky ones. only chance for you is the overclock to like 4.5 ghz and you will be happier, but i still see 25fps dips once and a while in a big zombie infested/firefight all settings on ultra, render to 150%

dayz is to be played how you see fit as an individual, OP you are on drugs if you think roaming militia would not be present.

did some SA testing, with the gtx 970 and 4.6ghz overclock I can get 40 fps in cities on packed server (grey matter loot loot loot server excellent ping) but the icing on the cake is rendering @ 150% and everything on ultra. it looks fucking amazing and is actually using my GPU over 50% constant. launch params still not sure what works and what doesnt, its all voodooo single core performance is key to fps, also setting renderer to 150%+ makes your gpu work harder and it looks wayyyy better.

good guide, but hardly answered my questions lol 6 month old info, i know for a fact arma3 has since done away with 95% of the launch parameters. SA devs could have easily done the same. leaving us with placebo at best.. its nice to know exactly what we are dealing with. on another note, i went further on the OC and gained an insane 20fps in arma3. 4.3 ghz = 50fps, 4.6 = 71fps...insanity. hopefully helps MP and SA a bit more.

yea i suppose, its easier to not publish that way people unfamiliar with the consequences/etc dont fuck their setup even more. that being said its alpha and we are "testers" so we should have all the tools necc to test.

again, hearsay...lol i agree with -high, but i see it on every arma3 guide. supposedly -enableHT (hyperthread usage) works on arma 3 and overrides cpucount=, actually this is from the BI website...so prob legit. however BI forums say cpucount and everything else doesnt work anymore. except enableHT. but enableHT isnt in dayz apparently. so only the devs can tell us what exists and doesnt. why they havent shared this before is bizarre.

gr8, i just hope something is done because 30 fps in cities on a 6 or 8 core haswell-e is not acceptable... i mean it looks pretty good and i literally hit 90fps outside of cities but it still dips so fucking low... and not all my cores are being utilized

im with you there, but i want eist enabled in bios because it tones things down when im not gaming. power mode did the trick, i created 2 shortcuts on the desktop. 1 relax, 2 hyper-d

Wow, am i ever surprised. x58 i7 930 (4.2 ghz) - gtx 570 - 6gb ram @ 1500oc - 40-60 fps and med-hi quality x58 i7 930 (4.2 gxz) - gtx 970 - 6gb ram @ 1500oc - 60+ fps and everything on max x99 i7 5820k (4.3 ghz) - gtx 970 - 8gb ddr4 @2400stock - 23 fps...enough said haha! Any suggestions? every other game has benefited immensly from the new architecture/cpu. never had any launch options before, only adjusted in the settings, etc. tried all the usual jazz/lowered settings/optimizations/etc. no dice, just low fps. insane eh?

turn power settings to high power in windows! just gained 15 fps from that. so stupid! the cpu jumps back and forth from 3.3ghz to 4.3 ghz, even if the majority is 4.3ghz, switched power modes and got arma 3 to a stead 70 fps!

motherfucker, just got arma 3 to 70 fps by simply using high power mode in windows. i was stuck on balanced and it kept throttling the cpu to 3.3 ghz here and there, but it was just enough to rob me of like 10-15 fps on the switching. wow im amazed now
