Well, for starters your processor is below the minimum required, and your graphics card is below the recommended requirements. Add that into the fact that DayZ is a pretty demanding game because it's running on an engine that wasn't really designed for it, and the bad news is that to be completely honest, your machine probably isn't quite up to the task. :(

It's because your laptop isn't good enough. I'm not being snarky here, them's just the facts.

4Ram? I think that might be one of the things that are giving you a drop.

Its your CPU... also you're looking at the specs to run ARMA II not DayZ... so they are much different as the zombies add a huge strain to CPU's...

I think he might be a new player in DayZ since they added the Arma 2 DayZ Mod option. He must have looked at the system requirements on that page he thought he could run it.

Unfortunately, the only way you can run this game well is a strong dual core, or a quad-core, along with something along the graphical power of a 8800 GT or higher in order to sustain a playable framerate. I do not think anybody's system has yet to achieve more than 50 frames per second while in Chernarus. I'm talking about people having 690s with i7s OC'd and still not receiving something you would call 'smooth picture'.

You must mean just Cherno, or Elektra?

Hello dayz community, I would just like to say I have tried every performance guide for dayz on the web and not many of them helped me. Infact the only thing that gave me a boost in game where the following settings.

I reduced my native screen resolution to 1024x768 (desktop).

I reduced my in game resolution and 3d res to 1024x768 for both.

Then I went to My Documents / Arma 2 and found the file called (yourname)ARMA2OAprofile opened it with notepad and right at the bottom I edited the line sceneComplexity=300000; and changed it to sceneComplexity=100000; then save and close.

I have Nvidia Card Which I have set to run on High Performance, and changed the Pre Rendered Frames to a value of 1.

I also use two progs to gain a tiny bit more memory, game booster and Advance System Care which I set to Turbo boost ON.

So after all of the guides and reading the only thing that has granted me a little bit of FPS back is changing my screen resolution on the desktop and in game to 1024x768. My screen default is 1280x1024.

Memory in game Default, all settings low except Object Detail which is on High. Any other setting that can be Turned off is OFF.

I have gained around 15 fps and no longer run/walk at such a slow speeds compared to my team mates (they are not heroes).

There is also an option in the dayz commander settings to run tha game on Direct3D 9 some people have reported this helps also. You can even Create a Virtual HD with the free prog DataRam RamDisk and add Dayz folder to stop the bottleneck (supposedly).

I have a single Core CPU with 2 threads, My gfx card is 9800GTX, 4gbRAM OS vista.
