Crappy FPS - PC or Arma II engine?

[Riddy 1]

Hello there guys, am not sure where to post this, obviously because am amongst those newbies and Bambi's on both DayZ and this forum, but just wondering, I seem to get around 15-20 FPS constantly which is laggy for me, I did also do those setting on the ArmaII.cfg and the profile bit too, just doesnt change much, but these are my specs:

AMD FX 4100 4.0ghZ

XFX HD Radeon 5750

That's all you need to know IMO, but PC or ArmaII engine?

You might benefit from looking at the Can I run it? Thread. There might be someone with similar specs to you.

Set the overall setting in basic to "Very low," then set view distance to 1000m (unless you don't snipe) and video memory to normal/high. Spin around a few times; you'll get sudden, extreme lag, then all your lag will disappear unless you wind up teleporting/doing crazy Ivans every 2 minutes.

Changing the view distance won't help, it is determined by the server, not the client.

But if you want to play DayZ with reasonable fps, I think you should upgrade your PC, because this rig won't run it better. Maybe you'll get +/- 5 fps with some tweaks.

thats where your wrong mate, I get 10-20 FPS on DayZ, Also dont have that PC with me so, I need help from someone that has experienced the same kind of PC... Yes its pretty stupid to post now, but I just need an answer before I get the PC back soon

Have you got AA, PPoE and post-process disabled? Maybe AToC too TBH. That rig isn't really cut out for ARMA and DayZ so beyond playing with your settings there isn't a lot you're gonna be able to do, unfortunately.

I sound like a real dumbass here, but what the hell is AA, PPoE and Post-procceses? Sorry, my IQ is like 0.1

[Mos1ey 6301]

In your graphics settings in ARMA 2: OA - anti-aliasing, PPoE and post-process effects, lol. All should be disabled if you're having problems with low FPS. :)

Also, try setting everything else to normal or low. You might find you actually have more FPS with normal because setting things to low puts to load on your CPU instead of your graphics card.

Ok, you just raised my IQ to 0.2 thank you :D

Ok, I'll try that, but I managed to screw the PC up last night, so am just getting the motherboard replaced (like I said low IQ), but soon as I get it back, I'll try it, and hopefully, it increases my FPS to around 20-30 FPS which I wont mind, buh I hate the graphics quality at very low and low, I mean I can run Assassin's Creed 3 on the rig even though its at 20 FPS constant, its not as bad a ArmaII's lag.

[Mos1ey 6301]

ARMA 2 is really hardware intensive, AC3 is kids stuff in comparison, lol.

Good luck, disabling the things I told you too should help a bit.

Yea mate is not easy handle ArmaII, I don't have problems with it run all on high good fps's, but I would say upgrade your pc or wait for standalone, because a lot of stuff gonna jump to server side and a lot of stuff gonna be corrected so the fp's can improve. :).

Meh, it is a game with high quality shizzle though.

Ok, thanks mate :D

Yeah, I am expecting a better FPS on Standalone, and I recently bought this PC for cheap though, am on a budget for now, gotta wait till I finish exams before I go for those OP gaming PC's

[Mos1ey 6301]

Performance in the standalone is only slightly better than DayZ mod TBH because the graphics have been improved.

[aussiebobby 82]

My sons PC has a Phenom II X4 955 and HD6850 and doesn't get that kind of lag.Only when he uses the editor and put way to many bots/AI in

Well, isnt it all server-sided instead of client-side making it 10x better?

Yeah, but the game itself without zombies is more intensive. You'll get a more FPS but that system will still struggle.

Meh, as long as it doesnt lag as bad as ArmaII:CO lags.

[Chips- 58]

My brother plays DayZ on an Intel E7400 and HD 4870 with 20-30fps so you should be getting better performance

[BioHazard050 49]

Arma is VERY CPU intensive, when i play, my CPU usually pegs at 80% while my GPU hits like...40-50%

Saving up for an upgrade, my core 2 duo is painful.

By hardware intensive he actually means poorly optimised shit.

This is the only game out there where if I increase my settings to high I get more frames. That shit better not be in the standalone version.

There are some Stress Tests in the SP list.

This is the best way to tweak your game and see what makes a difference in the settings.

Run each test at least twice.

Deactivate DayZ and any other mods beforehand.

[Riddy 1]

Very late reply I know.

Last poster: Can you give me a link to these 'stress' tests?

[badluckburt 974]

If I understand Boneboys correctly, they are in the game itself under Scenarios I think. They're the Benchmark ones.

[SteveLord 32]

The "my brother's/friend's PC" claims are pointless as everyone is conveniently forgetting to mention what resolution those are set to. Which can make all the difference.
