Really high ping makes dayz unplayble?

[MaGxNerdy 8]

Hello I have been playing dayz for awhile now and these past couple of weeks i have been getting really bad fps so i googled around and had a look for some fixes none of them helped then i noticed that my ping would go up to 1000+ and my fps would drop below 3 so i'm here asking if any else had had this problem and if they know a fix.

I play on Australian css and gmod servers with around 40-50 ping but when i get on Australian dayz mod servers i get 200-4000 ping so i was thinking it was a glitch with dayz mod so i tried normal

arma 2:ao and arma 2 and it didn't happen on arma 2 just dayz and ao so does any one know a fix?

My ping before joining the server

In the server with my bad fps in top left corner

Video card : Gigabyte Radeon HD7770 OC

RAM : Kingston HyperX KHX1866C9D3K2/8GX 8GB

OS : Windows 7

CPU : AMD FX 4100 4-Core Processor

Motherboard : ASUS M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard

PSU : Antec Neo Eco 450C 450W Power Supply

Thanks,

I don't believe it's actually to do with your specs.

Restart your computer--that tends to fix it for me.

And if you have playwithsix/sixlauncher/DayZ Commander open whilst playing, close them.

you just came to show that hot 2500 humanity. Shut all your other programs down whilst playing are you hardwired or running wireless?

Have you tried adjusting your modem settings internally to see if it helps?

apparently restarting your computer might help

also try disabling anti virus in the background ?

I think two components of your PC are slowing you down, either/or RAM and CPU.

I think this because: DayZ is heavily CPU intensive, but not GPU intensive, I have a standard version of the same GPU, and get at least 40 fps in the middle of Cherno, in typically laggy situations (i.e. vehicle explosions, many zombies and players, artifacting etc.).

I think 8GB of RAM is enough, but I play with 16GB, so I can't say for sure.
