Ok,first off all hello to all of you out there!! I'm new here and unfortunately i had to join this community for the troubleshooting part....you know what i mean... Ok ,so heres my problem...a weird one I must say... This was my setup before buying a new video card. AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4 Ghz 4 GB DDR3 1333 Mhz and the best card i ever owned and loved , Ati Radeon HD4770 GA MA770T-UD3 mobo Now,I was able to run DAYZ SA quite ok on that spec on low settings and dont remember using any on very low...shadow disabled etc...I was ok with it ....of course lower FPS in cities and that kind of stuff....but as i said,i was perfectly fine with it and learned to live with it and could actually play it without getting annoyed. The things changed when I bought a GIGABYTE R9 280X 3GB Windforce and had really nasty problems with DAYZ (ONLY DAYZ) I started to have insane FPS drops ,for example next to Cherno...I was looking at the town exit and had like 30-40 and when I looked at the city i've seen it drop to as low as 6 FPS (15-18 after it calmed a bit) ,normal FPS in Cherno is like 10-20 ....and thats driving me crazy because I cant cope with that...and thats on freaking low settings.....with no shadows and no nothing... I dont know whats wrong but stepping to a High End Video Card made my experience way worst that i could have imagined with this game...it actually destroyed the game for me because it's unplayable and i really love the game. Tried all kinds of optimization GUIDES and didn't help me a bit.Modified cfg files and start parameters and that kind of stuff. Any idea why this happened?Is it because the card is way better than the CPU and it bottlenecks it?More WAAAAAMMM or what? I have to say that i finished CRYSIS 3 on very high/high and play lots of new games like Far Cry 4 ultra/high and it runs great so that proves that the card is ok. Will the new render engine solve this game out? BTW ,im playing on a 24 inch display at 1080p. Thanks. Andrew
