Cap'n (DayZ)

I bet Inception is playing the alpha right now. Lucky bastard.

Hey, my brother has gone off to college and he's left his PC for me. Its an older rig, but I'm curious as to what settings I could achieve. Specs; CPU- Intel Core i7 920 overclocked(not sure how much q.q) GPU- 2x GTX 460's in SLI, 1768 MB video ram(1.7 gbs) RAM- Crosair XMS3 8gb DDR3 1333 MHz MOBO- Intel LGA 775 EXTREME Motherboard PSU- 800 watt, not sure what brand. HDD- 320gb, 134 is already used up(time to delete some shit) I don't know how much I'd use it, as it'd be my 3rd PC(lol). I might give it to a friend or sell it off Ebay to someone who knows nothing about PC's and get more than its worth.

This guy is racist and sexist! Women, attack him with pointless feminist dribble!

If you happen to be sticking your genitalia in the action of the gun, I'd recommend you don't slip up and press the bolt release. It could get real messy.

"Isn't Skalka a really populated town?" I'm not lying, I've heard this before. My palm went throught the back of my head and back around to where I could touch my elbow.

Who makes an account just to reply to a stolen thread?

Only two people I can think of, flares and Katie. I prefer flares over Katie, because Katie complains too much and flares make pretty fire. One day, me Katie and flare went to Tulga. We killed a medic. I wear his skin over my face to warn those who think they can shoot me. I WILL CHEW YOUR TENDONS AND DRINK YOUR STOMACH ACID, FRESHSPAWN.

Don't base anything off of an old build recorded on a computer so shitty it runs like a slideshow at lowest settings; without fraps. Until we've seen solid finished footage, we shouldn't base anything off of leaked/devblog footage regardless of how ignorant you may be. And many thanks to Steak. I've had the video playing for about an hour...suicide seems like an acceptable option at this point.

◾Name: Shane ◾In-game name: Cap'n ◾American, him and a few buddies were on a fishing trip looking to cash on some caviar when a storm hit and their boat overturned. He woke up, alone and cold on the beach. He's got a few skills, as he was a male nurse(lol) and he used to shoot skeet with his dad(Remington/M1014/Saiga pls). He could be that friendly medic guy that takes calls. I want him to get run over by a tractor if he has to die. ◾Age(not sure if actual or character, lol) 14 real age, 22 in character

You should go for the new 6800k instead. Its IGPU(8760D) is said to be equal to a 7750 in terms of performance. For a budget build, that's pretty damn solid.

You can run Windows in bootcamp....

Its sad the majority of us here will have to rely on youtubers who may or may not record footage of E3. I doubt Spike(a television channel in America for those of you budding foreigners) will cover the DayZ standalone booth, but it'll be a real treat if they do. But still, it crushed my dreams when E3 became a closed event, invitation only. So, I'll rely on Jackfrags to give us some hopefully decent quality footage. They'll be others, but he's my favorite youtube uploader so I'll rely on him above all else.

The GT 650m is sufficient to play DayZ on high with a max of forty frames. You'd have to get Windows in bootcamp to run it, but otherwise your MacBook checks out fine in my book. PS: A lot of people in the Can I Run It thread don't treat laptop recommendations with much respect. If anyone needs a recommend for a laptop, I'm the guy you can trust ;)

The new AMD APU's came out recently. The one I'm most interested in is the A10 6800k, its 8760D IGPU is said(going off a forum comment) to be between the 7750 and 7790 in terms of performance. If that's true, I'd say it'd be a damn good for a budget build. The 7660D was equal to a 6670, and if the forum post is right they've made quite a jump. Now all I except from AMD is that release the Phenom III 8 core. Then they'll fully please my insatiable thirst for dem cores.

Great guide, and everyone HAS to go North or otherwise they'll remain in the utter hellhole of the South. Although you'll see less PvP, people in the North are typically better equipped, making firefights much more difficult and dangerous. To be on a level playing field, I'd recommend you'd find a good midrange rifle with common ammo. The Enfield/AKM/SA58/AK74 all fit this profile. They are common, reasonably effective, and pack quite a bit of damage(except the AK74). For carrying food stores, medical supplies, and extra ammo and firearms, I'd recommend you find a large or medium sized backpack. My personal favorites are the Alice and the Czech pack. They both blend in well and offer reasonable storing capacity. Now for disposing of zombies, either a hatchet or Revolver would do. Nothing else(par the Makarov SD, but that's private hive) is worth the trouble. Stick to the forests and country side and avoid small villages, as the majority are full of scenery houses that are not enterable. Once you've found a decent place to loot(NEA, Stary Sobor/Novy Sobor, various Castles), you have a few options. You could search for a car; unless you travel in a group I recommend one of the two trucks over anything else. Period. You could also move to the forest and become a hunter gatherer and hide the precious loot in tents. You could become a medic and save those noobs who forgot to pack morphine. Or you could become a bandit, but I don't recommend that based on my moral standards(morality on the internet? what is this sorcery?).

Your lack of brain cells disturb me.

I'd prefer the South Eastern North American country side, and I think North Carolina would suit that best. Mountain ranges, mild climate, farms and small towns dotted around larger cities. The map would be placed in the foothills/Piedmont.

DayZ has a load of fans. A good 500,000-600,000 thousand still play the game on & off, and the majority of those will buy the standalone when it is released. There are still another shitload of people who want to play dayZ yet they don't have a good enough PC, want to stick to consoles, and expect a port.

7950, cheaper and near equal performance. And you can overclock it to where its better than a 660 Ti(Nvidia cards are locked).

I got a 7870 Tahiti, and I've overclocked the hell out of it to where I'm getting better performance than a stock 7950. And I paid 50 bucks less :) And I think the only settings that should be locked is foliage, and it should be locked at low/normal.

I've been wondering, is the GTX 650 Ti or the Radeon HD 7850 better? They can both max the game from what I've heard, but which one would have a better frame rate?

Mine was removed. Let me say it again, but slower so you can soak in every fine, juicy detail. STICK A ROADFLARE UP MY ASS.

The Xbox 1 has a 6670(low end GPU) that runs 30 fps on Low/Normal settings. The game would look a LOT better on the PS4(7790) which could run it at High settings pretty well. But I agree that design changes would be a problem, but Sony would make balls and balls of money off that shit.

I've had one of those before. It was in the bargain bin at Costco. A few hours after eating it I got explosive diarrhea, lockjaw, constipation, and a minor case of herpes. Oh, you mean in-game. Go ahead and eat it? What's the worst that can happen? *shudders*
