oh, ok...i didnt get the chance to play the mod, just the Arma2 demo. i'm new to this game :)

just wanted to share my setup that i played around with to get playable frame rates and have the game look nice too. as some people have mentioned, if you turn everything down it runs worse :blush: so here is my middle ground compromise: My Specs: CPU: Intel i7 3770 @ 3.40GHz Windows 7 SP1 64-bit RAM: 8GB DDR3 GPU: Radeon HD7750 1GB DDR5 240GB HDD Video: 1440x810 (75%) VSync: Enabled Quality: All set to Normal Textures: 1024 video memory detail: Normal filtering: Normal Rendering: antialising: Low Alpha coverage: Disabled Edge Smoothing: FXAA High HDR Quality: Very Low Ambient Occlusion: Disabled Postprocess Quality: Very Low i'm also running this startup paremeter: nosplash -skipIntro -world=empty -maxMem=2047 -maxVRAM=1024 -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=7 with those settings i can get mainly 30-35ish in small towns, 26-29 in the main city (for a few seconds every once and a while, but mostly get about 31-33 there) with the tall buildings and 40-55 fps in the open areas and still have it look like a modern game. while those are all playable (to me at least), i'm really hoping to achieve at least 30 at all times in the city which would equate to higher numbers everywhere else too after they optimize (dev team....PLEASE OPTIMIZE!)

you are right about it being weird...i did some tinkering with the settings last night and i found a pretty good compromise. again, here is my PC specs: CPU: Intel i7 3770 @ 3.40GHz Windows 7 SP1 64-bit RAM: 8GB DDR3 GPU: Radeon HD7750 1GB DDR5 240GB HDD Video: 1440x810 (75%) VSync: Enabled Quality: All set to Normal Textures: 1024 video memory detail: Normal filtering: Normal Rendering: antialising: Low Alpha coverage: Disabled Edge Smoothing: FXAA High HDR Quality: Very Low Ambient Occlusion: Disabled Postprocess Quality: Very Low i'm also running this startup paremeter: nosplash -skipIntro -world=empty -maxMem=2047 -maxVRAM=1024 -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=7 with those settings i can get mainly 30-35ish in small towns, upper 20s in the main city (for a few seconds every once and a while, but mostly get about 31-33 there) with the tall buildings and 40-55 fps in the open areas and still have it look like a modern game. while those are all playable (to me at least), i'm really hoping to achieve at least 30 in the city which would equate to higher numbers everywhere else too after they optimize (dev team....PLEASE OPTIMIZE!) :)

Ahh that's a bummer. My PC runs Arma2 flawlessly, and I had really high hopes of playing this at that same level. :( I would be perfectly happy if it could hold 35 steady on normal settings.

ok, my brothers PC specs: Desktop or laptop? Desktop with Windows 7 SP1 64-bitMonitor resolution: 1920x1080CPU: Intel Core™ i7 3770 @ 3.40GHzGraphics card: ATI AMD Radeon HD 7750 1GB DDR5RAM: 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 @ 798MHzSSD? (Yes/No) No so how would this system fare? thanks

...does that mean i get the full game when relased automatically via downloads or patches or will i need to purchase the finished game separately? i aploligize if thats been answered somewhere else. i glanced through the FAQs and didnt see anything. thanks!

thats awesome...so do you know how we would get the finished copy? would there be another download or will it be updated as time goes on? sorry, i'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to PC gaming...i'm jumping over from consoles :) thank you

Desktop Monitor resolution: 1920x1080 CPU: intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 3.0ghz Graphics card: ATI AMD Radeon HD7750 1GB DDR5 RAM: 6GB Dual Channel DDR3 532MHz SSD: no (SATA 7200rpm 232GB Seagate) i can run the Arma2 demo very smoothly. how will the DayZ standalone work for me? thanks
