Hey guys, i posted asking why my FPS was so low a couple weeks ago. Since then i've done a system wipe and other various things, and it's working better, but a problem i've had since i started playing 6 months or so ago is still happening, and i was wondering if anyone could shed some light on it. Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.2GHz Memory: 16384MB RAM System Model: GX780/GT780/GT780DX/GT783 Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570MBh I can adjust my ingame settings to increase and decrease FPS. Antialiasing is set on high, and disabled/normal don't really change much performace-wise, and i don't have post processes or anything on. So my problem is this: Every time i play, after 3-10 minutes of gameplay with smooth framerates, i get a crazy fps drop, it goes to about 13 fps or 17, something around that, and persists for about a minute/two minutes. Then it will go away for another 7-10 minutes, and repeat repeat repeat. I instantly thought overheating, i mean it makes sense, the system works really hard, and can't keep cool so it drops performance to compensate, then when it's cool it favours performance again, but i've used MSI afterburner and the temp hovers around 70-67, which isn't THAT bad. I have a feeling my fans in my notebook are gunked up though. any ideas?

Oh I didn't try that, thanks man

Alrighty, thanks dudes! Is there anything else you recommend ne tweaking that hasn't been mentioned?

I should probably make myself more clear, 30 fps is the highest it ever goes, my usual average is roughly 26 ish. I tried running it with all high, as I too has heard that makes it more gpu intensive rather than cpu, but its still slower with antialiasing on high than it is with it disabled or low. I've even tried high setting with nvidia turbo boost on and it does nothing haha. I wouldnt mind if twenty five fps was all my system could handle, but I know its not. Hell, my friends with worse or equal computes get higher fps even with antialiasing.

I've tried everything.I didn't think I'd every have to ask on a forum about this, but I don't know what else to do. First off, my system specs: Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.2GHz Memory: 16384MB RAM System Model: GX780/GT780/GT780DX/GT783 Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570M I forget if anything else is relevant. Things I've tried: Ramdisk, Setting max frames ahead to 1 and 1, NVIDIA settings favouring max performance, following this guide on the in-game settings for optimising performance: http://www.dayzpvp.c...d-tweaks-guide/, forcing direct X 9 via dayz commander and changing the computer's power settings to favour high performance. No matter what i do i can't get above 30-33 frames, and that's on good days. I'm almost sure that tweaking my graphics card settings has an ADVERSE effect, so I turn them off most of the time. Ramdisk seems to make no difference, and the only in-game settings that seem to make a real difference, (hence why i have them off) are ANTIALIASING and post processing. I think there must be a conflict or something, I really have no idea why i can't get higher framerates. If anyone has any ideas that'd be AMAZING.
