The bold and underscored part is what people need to do. Everywhere on this forum you read about people who are suggesting that they should buy a new PC/upgrades, promising them gold and amazing FPS and then they suggest pure shit actually. I did the same time as you, spent time on reading reviews and comparing different brands/models. And secondly: If you dont have the knowhow to build your PC yourself, use a company who offers to build it for you, but where you completely choose the parts yourself. You can easily pay up towards $300 more for a brand.

Do not listen to this guy, as RAM has little to do with how the game performs. If your looking to buy a PC, you want a i5, with a GTX750/60/70/80, or a AMD R7 270/ R9 280/90 (maybe even a 265, but AMD isnt my strong side). And since alot of people keep on insisting that people should by new PCs or hardware to play dayz, Ill just copy paste another post i did.

You shouldnt assume anything with the RV Engine, as it is horrible optimized when it came out, and yet today is horrible. I have a decent gaming PC with i7 4770k @ 4,5Ghz, MSI 780GTX@ 1205/7000Mhz and it still brings my computers down to its knees in cities, just because of the simple fact that the game and engine doesnt know what to do with all the power. I have average 25% usage on my CPU and between 20-40% on my GPU. The only difference now between my PC and laptop is that I rarely drop below 30 in cities. So top tip: DO NOT BUY NEW HARDWARE for the soul purpose of playing DayZ. It is impossible to imagine/project what result youll get.

Are you sure that Dayz is runnign with the GTX and not the internal GPU? I had the same problem. And of course AA affects the FPS as it is there to improve your visual effect.

As for the first part: No he didnt, because thats exactly what world=empty Does. It loads nothing, so your game loads faster. If thats nothing you like, simply remove world=empty. Secondly, i have no idea what youve changed for that.

So youre saying that my i7 4770k @ 4,5 and GTX 780 isnt enough? What computer do you need to play this game then? a $2000 pc? They need to fix the optimization, as of today it is absolutely horrible. When I play. it only uses one(1!!) core close to 95%, and about 68% of my GPU and I STILL get dips well below what i should have.So lets say that he goes and spend $170-200 on a new CPU, and he still have shit frames, you think he will be happy and thank you? You need to realize that recommending people to upgrade their PCs for the SOUL purpose to play DayZ is like throwing your money away simply because of the bad optimization.

There is absolutly no reason why he should get a new CPU. The i5 3450 will never bottleneck a 270x

Need to know your computer spec. I.e What processor, how much RAM, what graphics card.

It is basically a lottery. I am running CPU:i7 4770k @ 4,5Ghz SSD: Samsung 840 evo RAM: Corsair vengeance 16gb 1600Mhz Mobo: Asus rog Maximus VI Impact GPU: MSI GTX 780 Gaming @stock And Ive read about people that have spent double, triple the amount than I and it still runs like shit. And what I can see from resource monitor, the game uses 1(!!) core. Thats it when the comes to the CPU. So what you really want is single core speed. As for the GPU it never used anymore than 60-70%. I mean, my cpu/gpu doesnt even run hot while playing DayZ, and thats purely because of the bad optimization of the game. Buying new parts/new computer to play DayZ is like throwing your money away.

For future reference: CPU:i7 4770k @ 4,5Ghz SSD: Samsung 840 evo RAM: Corsair vengeance 16gb 1600Mhz Mobo: Asus rog Maximus VI Impact GPU: MSI GTX 780 Gaming @stock Caped my frames to 60 FPS since my screen is only 60hz, through out the whole map, 60FPS, hit 48 as lowest in Cherno.

So youre saying my 25-30fps in Cherno is placebo with an i7 2,2(3.1boost) and a lowend GT630m? Both of them are under what you "recommend". But youre right, with my HD3000 I got 10FPS. You recommending people to upgrade because their hardware isnt enough right now, is like sending a dog to the moon. It might accomplish wonders and world peace, but its not for sure. As the optimization is horrbile theres systems running with i7 4960x overclocked to the skies, 3xtitans, 1000gb RAM and a billion SSDs in Raid 0, they will STILL HAVE FPS problems. What are you judging the performance on with your flowchart? Have you tried the configurations youre suggesting? so youre recommending a minimum of a $225 CPU?(i5 4670k 3,5ghz) or a AMD FX6300 thats cheaper, but also considerably worse performance per core, which happens to be important in a game like DayZ and arma?

No problem What can you overclock? Expect a low setting. I have about the same in my laptop(but a GT630 which is basically a rebranded GT5XX) and I can run it pretty well on low-med settings. No problem. No, your CPU and GPU is too weak. No, your CPU and GPU is too weak.

Do you have 10gb of RAM to spare for DayZ? The mod was only 400mb.

Dont bash stuff you dont know about. My little GT630M is running dayz with 25-30 in cities and 40-50 in the wilderness. OP, what settings do you use ingame? Have you added more launchparatemers than the once stated? Changed anything in the cfg files?

I also have the same problem, but I found a really small case that fits in a cabin bag for example, that way its pretty portable for me(I flew Russia-Sweden-Russia with it)
