GrumpyGat (DayZ)

Turns out it was 8.1. Running this game on windows 7 right now and at max settings i'm pushing 80FPS in cherno.

I have come to the conclusion that the reason I am having issue may in fact be due to my operating system, windows 8.1. Going to do a partition with win 7 and see if that makes a difference.

I have a 3770k @ 4.5, 16gb ram, 2x raid 0 SSDs and a Asus GTX 780ti and I get 25fps in cities. welcome to my world.

Alright, the settings that Mos1ey posted are making things a bit worse, and the settings CaptRandom gave me are making the game look amazing, but not having any impact (positive or negative) on my framerate... As for turning off turbo, I did in the bios yet its still running at 1.98 when idle.. its like I can't disable turbo.

big thanks to you and Mos1ey for taking the time to help me thus far, I'm gonna give these setting and adjustments a shot and see what happens, fingers crossed.

Disabled the optimization feature in nvidia and it definitely recovered a few extra frames, but i still cant seem to get the it above 30. Any chance you can send me a screen of your dayz settings so I can try to replicate? Could it be the fact that I have 3 displays? I am not stretching the game across them mind you but perhaps each display is taking a bit of juice so to speak..

Disabled HT, and changed my settings to what you recommended. It's not bad but still seems way under what it should be considering my specs. I suppose they will eventually optimized the game so I will just stay hopeful until then.

Alright, moved it over to my SSD. The difference is negotiable but the load times are definitely improved. I still can't seem to get that smooth 30 FPS that i'm looking for. even in a small little town with 10 houses

that's the game at max settings, no dxtory, no streaming. barely using anything... I am going to try and migrate my DayZ onto my SSD instead of my 7200rpm drive to see if that makes a lick of difference, but judging by every else's luck I think I am just suffering from the curse of the mountain dew...

There's nothing good about twerking, that's for sure.

I CANNOT be the only one who sees it..

Noticed that kamenka spawns just aren't happening... was there a removal or change to the spawn locations in the last patch?

I stayed far too long on the toilet reading this. I agree with almost everything except the zombie bitch slapping quarrel. I could easily (as a human) use extreme force to do considerable damage to flesh with just my fingernails. And hungry as a zombie would theoretically be, they would surely have the incentive to exert full force.

As the title states, allow the character to consume the entire container or bottle of food/drink.

that's a fair compromise, as long as the time between feedings is greatly reduced.

That would be half-assed and not true to the quality that rocket wants.

Arms engine doesn't support anything higher than 2gb atm.

Doesn't matter where you go, eventually someone will try to kill you.

maybe post a link or something as there are A LOT of wikis for dayz Sa...

I have a i7 3770k, 16gb ram, and a GTX 780ti, the best consumer GPU on the market, and I can barely hold 20FPS in cities. I feel you man.

Alright, so is DayZ SA simply not optimized yet like the original ARMA II mod? or am I missing some sort of setting or something. No matter what I do I can't seem to get above 15fps in the major cities. Everyone else says they get a good 30-40fps in cities yet I am struggling to do so. My specs: i7 3770K OC 5.0ghz 16gb GSKILL DDR3L 2133MHz Kingston 256 SSD Gigabyte GA-Z77-HD3 Mobo Asus GEFORCE GTX 780ti I can't imagine most people are running this type of setup. How is it that with one of the latest ivy bridge CPUs and the best GPU on the market, am I still struggling? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

As the title states. It's a intensive game and It would probably help to utilize more of that sweet sweet vram

Antibiotics are for food poisoning I believe, not to treat wounds. Best thing for wounds is a nice clean bandage or a rag soaked in disinfectant.

Agreed. Excellent idea it would make for a good stun element. You could be chased by a gunmen, hide behind a door and spray his ass with it and make your escape.

Yes, I died in front of my friend from a bad bloodbag, and the second I hit respawn due to my unconsciousness, my body vanished. This is indeed a bug and should be reported.
