as stated by others, you have several problems here. - DayZ is 'optimized' for Intel CPU architecture - the DayZ Engine is crap so it doesn't matter HOW fast your system is - AMD is not meant for gaming, Intel is and will always be market leader in gaming. So all in all? solution: - buy intel CPU components - wait for the devs to actually make an engine that works propperly - better rendering system so your SLI will actually have some logic to it. - o yeah and did I mention the Game engine is crap atm? so wait for a better one My setup: Intel Core i5 3570K (4.2 ghz overclock) gigabyte Z77 D3H Mobo 16 gigs of Corsair vengeance 1600 mhz Nvidea GTX 660 TI Antec Kuhler 620 (watercooling) havent played since 0.53 but I had 29 fps back then in cherno and about 46 in the wilderness (everything max)
