You can probably just about run ARMA 2, but you'll struggle with DayZ mod.
-
A screenshot with Fraps FPS counter would suffice. Sadly I don't have time for this, lol.

That isn't the zombie virus, it's like an infected wound or disease. It will make more sense in the standalone when disease is implemented properly and we don't just have the bland 'infection' status. The players are supposedly immune to the zombie virus, hence still being 'alive'. Rocket had a virologist write a paper about the theoretical virus in DayZ, I assume parts of this will feature in the standalone somehow, so we'll know more about it in the future.
-
But the zombies in DayZ aren't undead, they're infected living humans. Dying and then getting up again and being a zombie doesn't make sense.
-
Your friend salvaging some of your gear makes a lot more sense than you magically reappearing and making a bee-line for your own dead body.
-
Well you posted the wrong model then... First off I don't believe it boosts by 1.4Ghz, most boost by around 0.5Ghz, and secondly you only get anywhere near the full boost if only one core is in use. When all 4 cores are in use you get something like a 200mhz boost. The Can You Run It? minimum requirements are the minimum required to open ARMA 2 without getting an error message, it's generally really bad practice to rely on them. And even so, the 560m will not run anywhere near max settings. It'll run somewhere between 'normal' and 'high'.
-
Yes, looting your own dead body makes no sense whatsoever.
-
Most i7s are just i5s with hyper-threading, which isn't helpful at all for gaming, and a heftier price tag. The i5 3570k is better than the majority of i7 CPUs, until you get to the i7 3770k and above.
-
Do you have any parts from old PCs that you could carry over? (Case, hard-drives, DVD/Blu-Ray drives etc.) If you stretch to the upper limit of your budget and shop around you could probably get an i5 3570k, P8Z77-V motherboard, 8Gb of decent RAM (I'd go for Corsair Vengeance or Kingston HyperX) and a GTX 660Ti. Would run DayZ and anything else pretty damn well. You could go for an AMD CPU and save a few quid if you don't already have any useable parts, the FX-8350 is also pretty damn good.
-
What's your budget?
-
I think your own body should just be invisible to you. Much easier and more logical.
-
You could just order the parts online and put it together yourself or try somewhere like Vibox that will let you choose the parts and then build it for you at your expense. I usually build my own so I can't really help with decent places to buy pre-builts, sorry. I'm sure someone else will be able to though...
-
Object detail is one of the main FPS killers. Set object detail to 'normal', disable post-process effects and max everything else. Also, what Cobs said. Multiple logical cores per physical are not helpful for gaming. I'd disable that feature and just run it as a quad-core CPU.
-
[HELP] I can't seem to find my GUID
Mos1ey replied to Wut (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
That feature wasn't added until a good while after this topic was created but yeah, that would be the easiest way these days. -
My bad, I'm so used to people posting Alienware laptops, lol. The specs are still the same, just the desktop versions. It will run on 'normal'. You could build a more powerful machine yourself for the same money though.
-
It'd run okay on 'normal' settings. If there isn't a reason that you need a laptop I'd strongly recommend going with a desktop. You could more than likely build a desktop that would run DayZ on 'high' and buy a low spec laptop for general use for the amount you'd pay for that laptop.
-
I'm running on an i5 3570k and GTX 780 and I run close to max settings @ 1080p. Just max everything, disable post-process effects and set object detail to around 'normal' (only affects the amount of grass loaded and buys you another 15 FPS or so). Running from an SSD doesn't actually increase your FPS but it makes the game feel smoother and stops stuttering and texture pop ins. Would definitely recommend installing ARMA 2 and DayZ to your SSD. You should get around 50-80 FPS depending on where you are on the map and what's going on in a well populated server.
-
Will reply in Can I Run It? Locked.
-
Indeed, it's an i7 @ 2Ghz and a GTX 460m 1.5Gb. No chance it's running ARMA 2 and DayZ mod maxed, basically. Please don't post misinformation as it confuses the people that would actually like to know how the game will perform on their system.

AK not going into backpack with 12 empty slots
Mos1ey replied to kander's topic in New Player Discussion
Indeed, not all backpacks have weapon slots i.e. the ability to carry weapons. -
DayZ mod was intended as a tech demo for Rocket's persistent worlds idea, and there hasn't been a huge amount of content added since the beginning. It's kind of to be expected that you'd lose the motivation to play after a few hundred hours, and for a mod that's quite a long time. These days I just tend to binge on DayZ. I'll play 50 hours in a week and then not play for a month, lol. The standalone should bring enough new and shiny things to rekindle everyone's passion.
-
I'm not sure if the delayed spawn rate is something new (it's always happened to me on some servers. Not sure if they were in need of a restart or not.), but the server slowing down (lower frame rates etc.) when it hasn't been restarted for a while is definitely nothing new, especially a well populated server.
-
Indeed, I don't think it will be released on or before August 21st. Don't get me wrong, the dev team have made a lot of progress, but I don't think they're at the point of having decided on a date yet.
-
Where did August 21st come from?
-
I've got an i5 3570k and GTX 780 and run close to max settings with great FPS. The GTX 770 isn't much less powerful at all, you'll run DayZ great on that system. The i7 3770k is a slightly better CPU but I'm not sure it's worth the extra money (why I went with the 3570k). Like dulix said, I wouldn't bother unless you plan on doing some serious multi-tasking or a lot of video editing.
