kstrain 1 Posted February 19, 2013 Ok so right now When I play dayZ I get 10-24 fps. It really all depends on where im at on the map, how many people are on and whats happening around me (Its even worse when I play Wasteland for Arma) But I think my computer is pretty good Heres my specsAcer Aspire X1420GAmd Athlon II X4 645 procceser 3.10 GHzRam: 4 Gb64 bit windows 7Graphics Card: Nvidea GeForce 9500 gtI was wonder what needs upgrading so I can run Arma/DayZ better. I would like to get a stable FPS where it rarely drops below 20 FPS and still not have the settings on Low but medium high. Also what type/model of parts do you recomend... Thanks Everyone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Food 309 Posted February 19, 2013 sell it and get a mac.Arma 2 was optimized to run on macs after all! They are superior in PC gaming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taco241 393 Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) But seriously, get a new video card.Somethingin the $120 range should do OK.If you can find an HD 7770 go with that due to the lower power consumptionKeep in mind, I think that case you have is small. You might need to find a short/low-profile card in order to fit it into your computer.Be sure to check.Your power supply (probably 220 watt?) is inadequate. you'd need something like a 350 (more if you get a card with a bigger draw than the HD7770). Be sure to get a power supply that fits your case as well. Probably a micro ATX size.The GPU and PSU upgrades are probably doable for $150-ishIf you have trouble finding stuff to fit, you can spend another $50 to get a larger case.Hope this helps.
