Same issue for me, on 5930k with 2x GTX 780 SC :-) - http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/211651-standalone-lag-in-cities/

Aye - can't wait for better optimization! :)

Still haven't been able to solve this riddle - anyone with input? :)

Tried a few tweaks in the Nvidia driver and using Nvidia inspector, but those tweaks did not increase the fps in any way... What fps are you guys experiencing when running through a big city, like Cherno, Elektro or Novodmitrovsk? I sometimes drop all the way down to 16fps... :beans: I'm also still looking forward for any suggestions you guys have!

I have not experienced what you mention there, that carrying more stuff equals more lag. Restarting my PC does not affect the issue in any way either. But I totally agree, it would be a great addition to the game, if it didn't lag so much in cities, and that the game would be able to benefit more from high-end hardware. Anyway, does anyone have suggestions?

Yup - if I go up the big tower in Novodmitrovsk I drop down to 15 fps sometimes... That is with all the above settings..

Here are the screenshots I promised - You can see the fps in the upper right corner. - Test server ping & desynch: http://i.imgur.com/UllxPCk.png - Video Window: http://i.imgur.com/5kxS1wP.png - Quality Window: http://i.imgur.com/ZNtoKYl.png - Rendering Window: http://i.imgur.com/ur7dorr.png - Textures Window: http://i.imgur.com/23qR6UX.png - Looking at a city (Severograd): http://i.imgur.com/aFzSiko.png - Looking away from that city (same spot as above): http://i.imgur.com/FnO77pU.png Edit: I've tried messing around with the in-game settings but they don't give anything. What gave most was disabling Shadows, but that was only a 5-10 fps increase tops.

I have all my hardware listed on another site, so I just copy/pasted that list. I know mouses and external accessories probably aren't affecting this issue.. Thanks for the constructive help by the way.. It was also what I feared. :( Anyway, I'll post up some fps numbers and screenshots of the graphics settings when I get back home. However, I have been fiddling around with the in-game graphics quite a while, not really affecting the city lag issue.

Hi, I'm getting insane lag spikes when moving around in cities, the bigger the city the more lag. So a good example could be Novodmitrovsk, where the game is borderline unplayable. If I look down or up, the lags go away, so I'm 100% sure it has something to do with loading the scenery. The amount of players on the server does not affect this issue, as I get the same lag on 40/40 servers and 1/40 servers. I have the following hardware setup: - CPU: Intel i7 5930k (also same issue with 3930K on 4.6GHz) - RAM: 4x 4GB Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR4 @ 2800MHz - GPU(1): EVGA GTX780 SC ACX - GPU(2): EVGA GTX780 SC ACX - Motherboard: Asus Rampage V Extreme X99 Chipset - PSU: Corsair AX1200i Platinum - SSD(1): OCZ Vertex 4 256GB (OS installed here) - SSD(2): OCZ Vertex 4 256GB (Game installed here, via Steam) - Monitor(1): Asus VG248QE 144hz 1080p - Monitor(2): BenQ 2410t 120hz 1080p - OS: Windows 8.1 Pro x64 I've also tried the following, which has not fixed anything: - Setting launch options to: -nosplash -noPause -cpuCount=6 -maxMem=16384 -exThreads=11 -malloc=system - Force SLI via Nvidia Inspector, as described here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=205916418 - Change the DayZ.cfg in My Documents to: refresh=144;, GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1;, GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1, vsync=0; - Change the "Profilename".cfg in My Documents to: sceneComplexity=100000; viewDistance=1500; - Using Nvidia Experience optimized settings - Force Nvidia Control Center, under DayZ.exe, to set "Power Management" to "Prefer Maximum Performance" My FPS test results from post #7 - Test server ping & desynch: http://i.imgur.com/UllxPCk.png - Video Window: http://i.imgur.com/5kxS1wP.png - Quality Window: http://i.imgur.com/ZNtoKYl.png - Rendering Window: http://i.imgur.com/ur7dorr.png - Textures Window: http://i.imgur.com/23qR6UX.png - Looking at a city (Severograd): http://i.imgur.com/aFzSiko.png - Looking away from that city (same spot as above): http://i.imgur.com/FnO77pU.png Any suggestions? :)
