    i just reformated my computer and im going to try to run dayz with almost nothing else on my computer to make sure its not a software problem, but if that doesnt work, i guess i'll plug in my girlfriends PSU then, but before i do that, could it potentially mess up my system because its not as powerful? i just dont want to mess up my parts by using an underpowered PSU.

    neither of us are on low settings, we have the same monitor, same reso, same settings for everything, and she maintains a pretty constant 30-40fps in the middle of cherno, while i get 5-15. Since we both have the same graphics card, and hers runs perfectly, i dont think that is the source of the issue im having. I can only wonder if it has something to do with my CPU or PSU really, ive heard that not having sufficient power can really jack things up, but i would think that my 550W would pack enough of a punch to take care of everything, esp since my GFs rig is only on a 450W and works fine.

    i just tried setting everything to low, got about 3 fps on average more, but GPU is still idling at 25-30%

    havent looked at my GPU and CPU loads, but i get an easy 80-100 FPS in singleplayer

    went back and tried singleplayer again, i was surprised to see myself only getting about 15-25 FPS (it was Takistan? not very familiar with ArmA outside of DayZ) there were a lot of buildings like you might see in cherno, but at least everything was smooth. GPU load was at 100% which i was happy to see, and CPU was around 70%.

    So ive been playing DayZ for about 2 months now, and ive only just started venturing into Cherno in order to help people out, but its almost impossible for me to go near the city due to the fact that my framerate drops down to about 5-10 FPS. I have always had poor FPS (20-30) while running around in the wilderness, but this is getting unbearable, and it makes sniping impossible. My girlfriend just got DayZ as well, and when i looked over at her screen, i was amazed to see her getting 60-70 FPS while running around, and keeping at least 30 FPS while in Cherno, this is baffling for me due to the fact that her computer is not as powerful compared to my own. When i looked over our settings to make sure i didnt have something turned on that she didnt, i saw that all of our settings were the exact same. Ive been searching for a couple weeks now trying to figure this out, but i simply cant. The tech stuff starts now.

    -----My Rig-----

    CPU: Intel Core i5-650 Clarkdale 3.2GHz LGA 1156 73W

    RAM: CORSAIR XMS3 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600

    PSU: CORSAIR Enthusiast Series CMPSU-550VX 550W ATX12V

    MoBo: ASUS P7P55D-E LX LGA 1156 Intel P55

    GPU: HIS H467QR1GH Radeon HD 4670 1GB 128-bit DDR3

    -----Her Rig-----

    CPU: AMD Athlon X2 245

    RAM: 4GB (4 x 1GB) DDR2 (cant find more specs, too old and mixed sticks)

    PSU: CORSAIR CMPSU-450VX 450W ATX12V

    MoBo: ECS BLACK SERIES A780GM-A

    GPU: HIS H467QR1GH Radeon HD 4670 1GB 128-bit DDR3

    Typically while playing in Cherno, my FPS will be 5-10, and when i look at my GPU and CPU monitors, the CPU load is around 70%, and the GPU load is only at a measly 30%. Her CPU and GPU Loads are around 80% and 100% respectivly, and she maintains 30 FPS. Both computers have the exact same AMD Drivers, the same DayZ update, and the same Arma 2 beta patch, and i cant figure out what could be causing my GPU to not be loaded correctly, causing my FPS to plummet. My case has much better ventilation, and my components are all very cool, so im fairly sure its not some sort of overheating problem, especially as the FPS isnt higher when my computer first boots up. Its not a bad graphics card, as i have swapped both of ours to rule out that possibility, i have uninstalled and reinstalled my graphics drivers, and cleaned off every bit of dust from my components with compressed air. This isnt actually the only game where her computer outperforms mine, but this is the only game where it is this bad, so i think its a combination of problems with DayZ, and my computer itself. I start via Six Launcher with extra parameters set to: -nosplash -cpucount=2 -exThreads=1. I have also modified the ArmA2Free and ArmA2OA config files with:

    GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1;

    GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1;

    Any tips or suggestions would help guys, im dying over here.
