Bad FPS issues

[Desertrobot 1]

A couple of days ago I bought an "good" laptop for gaming, it isn't amazing (it isn't a gaming laptop) but it's acceptable for most games. I literally bought it right after seeing DayZ gameplay and thinking it was an awesome game, which is part of the reason I bought the computer in first place.

The specs are:

Intel core i7

4 gigs of RAM

Nvidia Geforce 610m 2gb

Those aren't killer specs, but from what I've heard enough to run DayZ and Arma 2. And from what System Requirements lab has told me, enough to run it at the highest setting (although I've heard it's quite off sometimes)

When I first played Arma 2 and Dayz I was getting an FPS of literally 8 at the highest graphical setting, so I tried lowering it down, and the only respectable FPS I got at a setting was 28-32 FPS in low settings.

I don't exactly know why this happens, it seems to be worse in Arma 2 then it is in DayZ, it's kind of sad that I had saved up all the money on a new comp and I can't play the game I wanted to play.

I've seen gameplay videos with perfect FPS and I was very impressed by the game's graphics and overall idea.

Is there any fix to this? Thank you!
