30-50 FPS with a Radeon 9700 series?

[InTheAsylum 2]

** Got the graphics card wrong in the topic title - sorry!

I've updated to the latest version, play on default graphics memory (?) and use 'normal' for the rest of the options with AA disabled and it still runs at ~30 FPS, which is bad considering it can play Battlefield 3 at around 100-150 FPS consistantly.

CPU is an AMD FX-8150 Eight Core Processor @ 3.6 GHz

Graphics card is an AMD Radeon 7970

I launch using DayZ Commander with the following arguments:

-nosplash -cpuCount=2 -exThreads=7 -maxMem=2047 -maxVRAM=3072 -world=empty -winxp

and i've jacked Max Connections all the way up to 1000, along with forcing Direct3D 9.

Does anyone have any tips?

I've got gigabyte version of this card and the same CPU. I have 30-50 fps on highest settings. maybe run ArmA 2 with 4 cores and 8 threads. Try to overclock your CPU to 4.0-4.2 if your RAM memory can handle it.

Hey,

You could try to run DayZ off of a Ramdisk.

That might increase your FPS a little bit.

why the heck are you using 'cpucount=2' when you have 8 cores?

try at least 'cpucount=4' if not even 8

try without 'maxmem' and 'maxvram' also

set 'shadows' to high or very high so they´re rendered by GPU

I've got 4 cores, but they're hyperthreaded, making it 8 cores. The reason I'm using 2 is because I read somewhere it helped.

No idea what a Ramdisk is.
