It does indeed. Well I can't help you any further. This fixed it for me :) Best of luck to ya.

Alright I will get straight to the point. So, about half a month ago I was playing DayZ very regularly, getting about 20-30 fps. Now that I just jumped back into DayZ after patch 1.7.6.1 I am getting hardly 11 fps? No matter what I set my graphical settings to, the fps ALWAYS stays at around 10 frames. I researched a ton, spent many hours trying to fix it, got rid of the "splash" crap I was told to by a source, however, nothing seemed to help. I am unsure if it is because of my PC specs so I will list them right here: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 processor 3.21Ghz -- 64 bit OS Motherboard: Gigabyte Tech. Model #: GA-MA770T-UD3P Memory: DDR3, Channels # Dual, Ram: 12228 MBytes (12 GB Installed RAM), DC Mode: Unchanged. DRAM Frequency: 669.7MHz GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT (Not the best, but doesn't make sense in the sudden change in Frame Rate.), Memory: 1024 MBytes -- Bus Width: 256 bits ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Those are my current specs, not sure if they make a difference, which is why I am posting here. I know there is an explanation somewhere, if you could help me come to understand it so I may fix it, I would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Depends really. I play on various servers with my friends. The most common one we play on has about 125 vehicles all together. But it appears it was just my GPU overheating & was just in need of cleaning. Now I'm back at top performance at about 30-40 fps ^- ^

You can't download a program and hope to fix the overheating, I had this exact problem as you probably saw my thread. Open up your PC so that your CPU & GPU are exposed. You really should clean it once every 3 months or so, to prevent overheating, while you are at it, you should replace the thermal compound. That bumped my DayZ performance back to 30-40 frames/s from 10 fps. Hope this helps, it helped me a lot. You should regularly clean your pc to keep it running at top performance. Best part is, it only takes about 15-20 minutes.

Perfect. I cleaned it, even replaced the thermal compound. Nice steady temperatures, appears there was some blockage causing it to heat up quickly. It was long overdue anyways. I took into consideration the server issue, launched arma 2 through steam & it worked like a charm. Nice steady 30-40fps just like it should be :) Baiski, for your situation, server lag shouldn't drop you to near 3-4 frames, try opening your tower and cleaning it a bit. Seems to have worked for me, I also changed servers, just incase. Thank you for all the support! Very much appreciated. See you all around.

I am going to clean most of my appliances, seeing if I can't drop those temperatures or get rid of possible blockage. It would seem to be the only reasonable explanation. Kudos to all who helped me, very much appreciated. I will notify you the results after I clean it.

Actually no, It was not set to High-Performance. It was until I updated my system, assuming it reverted to it's default or something. That does not make any difference, unfortunately. I'll give you the average temperatures of my PC hardware: CPU: 81*c -- Mainboard: 46*c -- Videocard 72*c (does this make a difference? I was told not to worry about GPU temperature until it broke late 85*c early 90*c) Harddisk: 36*c -- Fan Speed: ALWAYS Stays over 5550+ rpm & under 5900 rpm. It would make sense of the GPU was starting to overheat, now that I think about it. Should I clean it, just to make sure? Or is this temperature not necessary, perhaps even vital that I clean it?Wouldn't make any sense though.. I run all the other games I have at around Medium -- Highest graphical settings. No problems with anything other than DayZ right now. Also, is it possible for internet speed to cause fps drops? (Just wondering)

That is what I thought too.. Any ideas as to what may be the cause, though?
