ShadowForce (DayZ)

Ive got an updated system now: AMD Phenom II X4 3.2 Ghz 8Gb DDR1333 1Gb Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti Game runs very well on everything max now, never dips below 30 fps even in towns :D

Hi Titanic3, I build computers as a little side business so I'm no stranger to computer hardware, but thanks for the heads up! My little old 8500GT does a grand job for stuff like Quake IV, Doom 3, Half Life 2, all on max possible settings, it was good when those games were the mainstream, but I'm mid-upgrade to this phenom system at the moment and whacked in my old 8500gt until i got round to buying a newer card. Poor little guy will be replaced tomorrow I've ordered a 560Ti (I prefer Nvidia cards despite being a big AMD fan) thought I'd treat myself as it's nearly payday :D Will post some results when I get it working!

Okay so I've done all of the above, editing the config files and stuff, but the game is still running super-slow, the only time i get more than 16fps is when i look at the floor, which would suggest it may be something to do with draw distance? Ive also got 8Gb of RAM as of last night (I didn't upgrade for DayZ) but that hasnt changed anything anyway. Im looking to buy a new graphics card however mine is a bit old (about 4 years) thinking of getting a 1Gb GeForce GTX 560 Ti PCI-e 2.0 Any ideas?

Hello Resin, thanks alot for the instant reply. I have taken a screenshot of the settings I am running in game: http://i46.tinypic.com/25s1mc5.jpg When I took this particular screenie, the game was running at 16fps. Thanks!

Hello DayZ users, I finally got DayZ working tonight so this is my first attempt at running the game before so pretty new to it all. There's a couple of things I'd like help with so thanks in advance to anyone who can offer some advice: My FPS in-game seems to be quite low There is a slight (but noticable and annoying) delay when I move my mouse My system specs are: AMD Phenom II x4 840 - 3.20Ghz 4Gb DDR 1333Mhz RAM 512Mb Nvidia GeForce 8500GT PCI-e Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 500Gb S-ATA2 HDD At the moment I am running the game on 'Very Low' but getting from as low as 8fps near buildings and other stuff, up to about 16 or 17fps when theres not as much going on. Is my system spec too low to play this or is there something else going on? Is the mouse delay because of the low fps?
