So I bought myself a new laptop (MSI GE70 0ND-245NE) and now I'm having serious fps issues, currently jumping between 10-15.. Rig; CPU = Intel Core i7-3630QM Graphics Card = Nvidia GeForce GTX 660M / 2GB GDDR5 (With an Intel® HD Graphics 4000 intergrated). RAM = DDR3 8GB (4GB*2) HDD = 750GB 7200RPM Post if you need any additional info about the rig. So basically I went from my old computer where I was running 40-50 fps stable with a worse rig than what I'm running now, and now I'm on this rig and I'm stuck at 10-15fps even outside of cities. The peak I've had playing was at 30, and it won't go above it what so ever (This was when I was staring at the clouds). My suspicion is that arma is running with my intergrated graphics card rather than my GTX 660M. I've tried every fps lag fix anyone has ever posted and my fps refuses to change. On a side note I can play BF3, WoW and alot of other games on ultra with a good and stable FPS (which I couldn't do with my old rig), but with DayZ it's a whole different story. I'm just wondering if anyone know how I can force it to run with my 660M instead of the intergrated card through DayZCommander, because I find it hard to believe I shouldn't be able to reach a higher FPS on this rig. I've made it so my computer uses the GTX 660M by default.

@Skoll Now we're talking! :D Fixed my issue quite well! I didn't find the option to disable hyperthreading in windows 8, so I downloaded a program to help me disable hyperthreading for different programs and I'm now running 30-80fps depending on locations. Thanks for your help mate.

How is this related to solving my issue? as I said I can run alot of other games that require good rigs to run on ultra, on ultra without problems. But with DayZ, I've tried every damn setting without reaching above 20 fps, and Loading screen I'm stuck at 30 (aswell as when I look at the clouds) It won't go above, which makes no sense to me.
