massive random fps drops

[megachub 2]

I have been having a very weird issue in dayz for a while now. Seemingly at random times my fps will plummet to like 5 fps and my players head model will disappear (not sure why). The only way to get my fps back to a constant 60-70 would be changing my video memory in game to normal than switching back to default, but the problem would return sometimes in a few minutes. My video card is completely updated and all settings in game are on medium, I also followed a fps tweaking guide and to no avail. My specs are as follow:

Nvidia geForce 560 Ti

AMD Phenom ii x4 965

4 gigs ddr2 memory

Also to note this is only happening in DayZ and not in arma 2 OA mp missions. Any help would be much appreciated

Never heard of this. I hope you find something that fixes this problemo soon.

Are you running more than one program at a time?

Does it happen on every server you play on? (Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, blah blah blah)

You've got a better rig than me. I've never had problems running DayZ. Even on "ultra sexy" mode.

If all else fails, the general rule of thumb is to try a fresh install where practicable.

It happens on every server to my recollection. I have very few programs in my background usually just vent, kaspersky, and some other very low resource using programs... I am going to try a fresh install tomorrow and see how it goes

I have my video memory set to Very high now. I used to have it at default as people said its bad to have it anything else. But after testing, I found that I get better FPS with it on high and 0 problems what so ever. Im not sure why people say it MUST be on default. Maybe try leaving it on normal or whatever if you havent tried that already. But yeah, that is a new one, I havent heard anyone else with this tbh, I've heard a million and one problems just not this. Seems to be loads of little strange issues like this in this game.

Hope your problem gets sorted, megachub. Ghosts in the machine, and all that jazz.
