Mr A

I disabled it, the game does run smoother now. Does disabling HT have any bad side effects? I don't want my computer to fry or something x-X Also, I uninstalled an AV called ESET NOD32 which is very strict apparently. That also automatically made my FPS run higher, no idea if that was the problem, but as soon as it was gone my FPS just went up.

How exactly do I do that. I know how to get into my BIOS, but, isn't that Hyperthreading? (pardon if it's not) I'm not sure what I'd do once I get there. Is it my computer the problem? I can run LoL at very high FPS just Arma 2/Dayz which give me the problems.

Yes I did. I am running AO at version 1.62. I did change it. I'm not sure what else I can do to fix this :(

Where am i getting low frames - everywhere - inside cities 2x worse. Servers experiencing lag - almost all / non-hive & hive Config file where do I find it?

Tried a Wasteland 404 server...yep crappy FPS. I honestly don't know what's going on and it's driving me nuts. I ran Valley Benchmark 1.0 on Extreme HD , which is supposed to be a super heavy stress test for my card and got a good 40 FPS , lowest 35. That means my card is more than capable of giving me good FPS but I have NO idea why Arma 2 / Dayz give me such shitty FPS, I mean it's like max 15 for Christ sake :(

It actually is good, about 40+ FPS. I'm not sure why on the other server I played it's 8-10....how is that even possible? I still don't think it's case closed as most the other servers are US based.

I doubt it SO much. I tried on 3 different servers and all the same issue. Non-hive but I did notice it ran a little smoother on hive servers but still , it shouldn't be this low.

Most settings you mentioned low/normal. I updated my GPU and still nothing, slight increase to 15 fps...when I FIRST played Dayz I could run everything on high w/o problem (same CPU,etc BUT older graphics card) I'm baffled, no idea what to do :(

I have an AMD Radeon HD 7990, it was like 500$ and I can play LoL/BF3/Cod Ghosts with all max and not experience any FPS drops. but just restarted to play Dayz and I get 5-10 FPS. I've tried everything from putting settings on normal to low and nothing works! I've tried the putting "1" to the settings in the .cfg file My friend with a crappier card gets 30-40, please help!

Dayz Epoch - B.E.L server I have a nice base we could use and a helicopter. Must have Skype/18 or so/not childish/play defensive only when under attack. Post your Skype below.
