Need some help on low FPS!

[TheDude8D 13]

I have been running DayZ fine but recently it has been unplayable at 8-10 FPS in big cities where I hang.

Are these good enough Specs to run DayZ at a decent framerate? 20-30 FPS on Lowest settings.

CPU - AMD Phenom II X4 840 Processor - 3.2 GHz

RAM - 8.2GB

OS - Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Edition (build 7600), 64-bit

Graphics - AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series

If I forgot anything please ask me and I will tell you it.

If this are specs that should be able to run the game at a decent framerate. Could y'all suggest any tips to increase framerate?

I have messed around with .cfg files. Should I just delete the entire game off my computer and just start fresh?

Sadly, I was only able to increase my frame rate permenantly by upgrading my 7 year old PC :(

Arma 2 is a very CPU heavy game, the way dayZ is setup a weak CPU will lag in cities. Try upgrading your CPU.

My CPU usage only gets to about 30 percent

while playing

Any fix?

I have a question, when was the last time you restarted your PC? For some reason DayZ was going like 3 fps for me and I just restarted my PC and bam, it was working again.

Restart it regulary. Just want to know the range of FPS that setup should get.

You should get good FPS. I use Radeon 7570D on high and manage around 30FPS.
