Low fps - decent computer

[[email protected] 0]

Hi,

When i first join a server everything seems fine and movement feels fluid. after awhile it begins to get laggy and my fps drops.

I have no idea why this happens..i have defragged my computer..deleted alot of things from my computer. I can run games like battlefield 3 fine or battleifled 2, i can play saints row third on high graphics.

I have a xfx 5850 1g graphics card

4 gig ram

edit : Even if i put my graphic settings down and resolution..its still the same.

edit2: I am now playing campaign and see how long i can play it before my fps begins too drop...if it doesn't drop i guess its only the server? or The dayz mod?

In my opinion, I wouldn't trust the 5xxx series. Something along the lines of upper 6xxx or any 7xxx would make things much better. Somewhere I heard that stocking up on RAM and CPU power helps as well. RAM you should just upgrade to 8GB. Processor is all on preference and use. That's my whole thing on it.

It's a CPU bottle neck.

I had the same issue till I oc'd my CPU and then patched to 1.7
