I have brought myself a brand new computer and i find myself receiving the same frame rate as i did with my old computer [OLD PC SPECS] Intel core 2 quad q6600 2.4ghz 8gbs some random ass 800mhz memory xfx R7850 800W Antec PSU Gigabyte GA-G43 Windows 7 Professional 64-bit [New Specs] Intel core i7 4770K @ 3.5Ghz (STock) 8GB 1333hz patriot memory XfX R7850 Corsair enthusiast TX650W PSU MSI-B85-G43 Windows 7 Professional 64-bit With both of these computers i played Dayz, the old pc gives me about 15 to 30 frames The new pc gives me about 20 to 30 frames, and sometimes 10 frames in towns and whilst driving. i have no idea what to do to fix it, and i would love some help!

Quick updates and all, my mate told me to get MSI afterburner to check some things over and i found out that my cpu is peaking at 100 degrees when idle... could this be the problem? The CPU fan is at 2020 RPM, and when the CPU is hot it does not seem to increase. and i cant find anything that will let me easily increase my fan speed. BUT i did take out my heatsink and re-apply some thermal paste, and it all works honky dory now. thank you guys for all your help.

Yes i have tried playing on a low pop server, i tried to tweak my cfg. files using Andy Red's guide and i always play with low graphics with the video memory on default

650Ti is in now, just tried to play on high and low and i get lower frames and the frame drop is still there. might try to reinstall my pc as a last resort.

[Quick Update] I re-installed Video card drivers, and i got like 5 more frames, BUT it did not fix the frame drop i played on Very High (preset with 100% 3D res) settings on DayZ i got 20 fps and sometimes 40, but with the frame drop it just drops to 10 every other second or so. and when it drops the frames, it slows down and makes it really difficult to aim. And on the lowest settings (Very low preset but with 100% 3D res) i get 15 frames and sometimes 25 but the frame drop still occurs... [EDIT - added in more info] I'm going to try my dads graphics card, its a GTX 650ti and it is a tiny bit worse, BUT its a NVidia graphics card and i thought it might work.

I am running it on the lowest of low settings and in full HD 1920 x 1080

The XFX R7850 is an ATi GPU in the 7800 series of the radeon graphics cards.
