Can't Get to Run Nicely

[sazyario 0]

System:

Intel Core i5 2500k (Stock, No OC)

EVGA GTX 570 (Stock, No OC)

8gb (4gb x2 2) G.Skill Ripjaws X Series DDR3 1333

90gb Corsair Force GT SSD (Where OS & Game are installed)

Im assuming my rig should be able to play this with all settings very high.

I know with alot of games messing with Control Panel is a headache, but a must.

In game I get odd White Artifacts when looking at trees. Textures dont load when I look in the distance (Regardless of Right Click Zoom).

Just need some help optimizing

My copy is Steam Purchased.

Not sure about the visual bugs, but no, a single 570 will not run this game on all the highest settings. This game is poorly optimized I'm assuming, because the only game I've had a worse time with is Metro (also a hardware-crippler).

On all the highest settings possible @ 1080p except Post-Processing Effects, I have my 2500k running at a modest 4Ghz and the second core still briefly hits a peak load every minute or so. Also, after only using one of my 680's for a while, I started looking around and found that the EVGA SLI-Enhancement works amazingly well. After installing it, I can sit around 80fps with 680 SLI running at a 1275mhz core speed.

You just need to turn some settings down. Post-Processing Effects for sure, since in my opinion the blurriness doesn't look all that great and it is a framerate-killer, and also Anti-Aliasing should be set to no higher than Normal, since there is a minimal difference above that but a huge load added to the GPUs.

With everything maxed except PP Effects, I get a smooth 60fps with my 680's at 1275mhz and about a 80-90% load on them. So, there is literally no hope for a single 570 with those settings, especially one that's not overclocked.

But the game is not demanding at all when you keep the settings down a bit. My friend has a laptop with a 1.8Ghz quad-core AMD A6 cpu and 6520G iGPU, and believe it or not he can run DayZ quite well when using a combination of Medium and Low settings. I haven't overclocked it for him yet, but after I do I'm sure he'll be able to run everything on Medium. I'd say overclock that CPU and GPU. You have 2 great pieces of hardware there, don't miss out on that easy performance boost by doing some easy overclocking :).
