You should just about plod along on low-medium settings. Installing on the SSD will help though, it doesn't actually give you more FPS but the game runs smoother and feels like you're playing with an extra 10 or so FPS.
-
Like Fraggle said - the motion blur is a mess unless you're running at decent frame rates. I usually play with post-process effects turned off because of the depth of field blur though. It makes no sense to blur out everything further than 100m, imagine trying to spot a sniper with PP effects enabled. Disabling PP effects also disables that low blood blur.

Your laptop just isn't powerful enough to run DayZ without FPS issues. I have a laptop with similar specs and I don't have ARMA 2 installed on it because it would be a waste of time. To get the best FPS possible make sure anything that can be disabled is disabled, video memory is set to default, texture detail is set to high or very high and everything else is set to (very) low. You might want to play in windowed mode and turn your resolution down too.

[Standalone] Using Flashlight on Map
Mos1ey replied to Statik (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Nice idea. You'd want to find a building or somewhere secluded to check your map without drawing attention to yourself, which would be cool I think. -
Official release date: August eleventy-first.

Low FPS, need tech help (whether to tweak or upgrade)
Mos1ey replied to depthchargesw's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Your system is a bit outdated but it should be able to manage 30-40 FPS on normal. What are your current graphics settings? A screenshot would be really helpful if possible. Have you modified your config at all? Are you currently using any startup parameters? -
The ARMA version of Chernarus took 2 years to develop and they're still working on Chernarus+ for the standalone. I can't see any official maps coming our way any time soon, nevermind any TWD rip-offs.
-
No, you did post 9 videos in seperate topics one after the other though. Topics merged. If you want to post a mass amount of videos at once please use one topic in future.

It would be cool in a game with undead zombies but it's not right for DayZ.
-
Indeed, I'm running a 3570k and love it! Would recommend it if you've got the cash. If not - an FX-8350 would still serve you well.
-
Nah, AMD use completely different sockets. I think you'd need a mobo with an AM3 socket for the FX-8s
-
i7s and FX-8s are just quad-cores with 2 logical cores per physical. It doesn't really benefit you when it comes to gaming, it's more for heavy multitasking or video rendering. It's not really worth going with an i7 unless you're going for the 3770k or better, the others are just i5s with hyperthreading and a hefty price tag. The FX-8 CPUs do actually outperform the FX-6 and FX-4s though, so if you're going AMD it would probably be wise to go with a decent FX-8 series. I'd recommend going with either a decent i5 like the 3570k or 2500k or if you want to save some cash then the best FX-8xxx that you can afford.

SA: trying to change the kill on sight mentality, *without unfair disadvantages to that or any playstyle
Mos1ey replied to tomfacekillahhh's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Play on one server, set up base on another. Now you're geared up and your base is invisible 95% of the time. As well as not being in keeping with the general idea of the game, it's kind of open to abuse. AFAIK there are no plans to implement above ground base building. With 100 players on a server the map would be more or less full of bases within a month. -
The Q series CPUs are from around 2008 and the ivy bridge i5s from Q2 2012, lol. The i5s are definitely a hell of a lot faster and are pretty much made for overclocking.

Nothing in DayZ should ever be safe while you're offline IMO. I wouldn't be against better ways of hiding things though. -
Automatic transmission isn't as popular in Europe as it is in the US. I don't know a single person that drives an automatic, regardless of social class. There would probably just be 'shift up' and 'shift down' keys.
-
Also, on a side note - DayZ mod is free.
-
Obviously I can't really say anything that hasn't already been revealed but the world just looks and feels a lot more 'apocalyptic'. Not so much the small towns (As you'd expect. There wouldn't have been as much activity there) but Cherno, for example, looks like a warzone. I can't upload any screenshots of my own but here are a couple from the DevBlogs that people might have missed...

Speaking of creepy avatars...
-
Well if it's using both cards at all then that probably isn't the issue. Try setting texture detail to high or above and everything else to disabled/very low/low, whatever the lowest setting is. Also, have you modified your config at all? And are you currently using any startup parameters? That's only the case with texture detail and shadows, everything else seems to share it's load logically regardless of quality setting.
-
ARMA 2 has issues with utilising SLi setups. Is it using both cards?

Who is your favourite DayZ youtuber?
Mos1ey replied to Skypill's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I don't really watch DayZ videos. Killroy's The Days Ahead series will always be my favourite. -
Can i play on a Server that has the older Version of Arma 2 and Dayz?
Mos1ey replied to Splaze's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Yes, you can. As above - ARMA 2 beta versions are backwards compatible, DayZ versions however are not. -
This has been done for the standalone.
-
What was your highest ever Fps on DayZ?
Mos1ey replied to Skypill's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Haven't tested my new CPU in an open field yet but I hit 150 FPS in Elektro when I turn everything to very low/off.
