terminal_boy 860 Posted December 27, 2012 Can you get a screen capture of your DayZ graphics settings and post it here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jdz (DayZ) 238 Posted December 27, 2012 I'm posting off my phone so I am unable to view that image properly but I think we have similar specs. Unfortunately ArmA just runs poorly even on super computers. You will really just need a new computer for it to run well, I'm constantly dropping down to 12-15 FPS but there's nothing you can do about it, even after trying all of the tweaks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darkwater (DayZ) 63 Posted December 27, 2012 (edited) In general, I have a great distaste for any computer that is brand made, like Acer and so on. They are often not optimized and suffer on one part, giving bottlenecks for data. Your CPU is kinda aging aswell, maybe try overclocking it just a tiny bit. It shouldn't be too much of a problem as the I5 are good at just that as long as you don't overdo it. We also don't know the quality of your RAM, or the BUS speed of them, nor do we even know if it's DDR2 or DDR3, which could easily make a difference. And furthermore, the graphics card is also lacking an enormous bit. I assume it's an intigrated card and those are the representative of satan himself in computer hardware.But all in all, it's -not- a bad setup (save for the assumed intigrated graphics card, and even if not, the GT 520 is amongst the lowest of the 500 cards), it's just that ARMA2 and DayZ just is very taxing on hardware and poorly optimized for new(er) hardware even when you wouldn't think that would matter. Use Fraps, get your average FPS, overclock a bit and recheck. For me, overclocking easily increased my frame from unplayable and into quite acceptable.

sobrix 0 Posted December 27, 2012 I use fraps to check my fps and it is 20 in a chopper and 10 on the ground. However, my pc is fine when playing css or l4d2 or even bf3 whilst arma 2 is the only one forming a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tarrow 0 Posted December 27, 2012 The geforce 520 will be the limiting point there, it's not a gaming GPU it's the £20 card they make for office computers that don't have on-mobo graphics.GeForce 520 performance specifications are below that of the geforce 7800 that's listed as the minimum requirement for Arma2.
