lukem814 7 Posted November 2, 2012 Hi guys :). Just wondering how well this rig would run dayz at 1440x900 resolution. Graphics card: GTX 550 ti. CPU: i3 530. RAM: 4gb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaffarov37 125 Posted November 2, 2012 I think it should work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darkwater (DayZ) 63 Posted November 2, 2012 It should definately work, but I can't say for absolute sure how well. I have everything on max, and inside cities like Cherno and even Elektro my frames tank down to 25ish. And if I dare to zoom in, with binoculars or scoped weapons, on grass/trees, I'm gonna have a bad time with sluggish 10 frames. I have no idea why, but the exact amount of frames also appear when I have close to the lowest settings aswell. My rig is slightly above yours in terms of power, but not by a massive amount, i5 and 560 GTX and 8GB of RAM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lukem814 7 Posted November 2, 2012 Do you know roughly what FPS I would be getting on normal to high settings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Psyl3nt 125 Posted November 2, 2012 It 'should' be ok, your CPU is a little on the low end, but it does meet the requirements for the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darkwater (DayZ) 63 Posted November 2, 2012 Do you know roughly what FPS I would be getting on normal to high settings?I would say 30-40 in forest areas, 20ish in Cherno, based on my experiences. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lukem814 7 Posted November 2, 2012 Should I buy the i3 530 or the i3 2120? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lukem814 7 Posted November 2, 2012 Thanks for the replies guys you've helped me a lot :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darkwater (DayZ) 63 Posted November 2, 2012 The i5 is a far better choice. i3 seems to be a low end, budget price (but by all means useable) prosessor. As price range goes, the i5 is rather cheap now and, correct me if I'm wrong, they share the same socket type. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lukem814 7 Posted November 2, 2012 Do you have A rough idea of my average FPS while playing BF3 on medium to high settings at 1440x900 with that same rig? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
electroban 102 Posted November 2, 2012 "should be ok" are u guys fucking serious, none of the tech that hes got was out when armaII was even released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darkwater (DayZ) 63 Posted November 2, 2012 "should be ok" are u guys fucking serious, none of the tech that hes got was out when armaII was even released.Theoretically, yes, it should run it completely smoothly with everything maxed. But in reality, it just doesn't. ArmA2 just doesn't take use of everything your rig has to offer. Like I said, I have a more powerfull rig, but not a maxed out station by any stretch of the imagination, and it should have absolutely no problems with this game, yet it runs sluggish at times. Poor programming, poor optimization or just incompatibility is key here. I would not be completely surprised if a GPU and CPU from just before ArmA2 was released could run the game smoother than my current rig.Also, the fact that it's a mod might have an effect here. I don't know how deeply they went into the source, but they could have done stuff to the source that just made the game harder on the computer, but that's just an assumption and guess on my part.

xx_fr0st-w0lf_xx 53 Posted November 2, 2012 arma 2 is poorly optimized, some rigs run all games on high but arma 2 on low and some rigs run everything on low but arma 2 on higharma 2 is a mysterious motherfucker I just bought my new rig i7 3770 gtx 660 ti 16 gb ram 120gb ssd and I get so many frames it scares me.
