Would this help me to get more fps in dayz?

[xnokiax8 0]

Hi guys,

i'm having very low fps in towns like elektrozavodsk or chernagorsk.(8-15)

But in fields or woods i'm having around (25-30fps)

Tryed almost every settings and fps is almost the same.

My Specs:

GPU:Radeon HD 7750 Gddr5 1gb

CPU:AMD athlon ll x2 250 3,2ghz

RAM:2gb (~800mhz)

OS:Windows vista 32bit home premium SP 1

HDD:320GB (only 10gb left)

Soo if i upgrade my ram to 4gb (1600mhz) and reinstall my windows to win 7 64 bit.

Will it improve my fps?

it might help a little, but it won't give you the gains you're expecting or hoping for. Have you searched the web for ways to optimize your settings, and editing some of your game files with Notepad? That made a nice difference for me.

i edited cfg files,and tryed ramdisk but it doesnt work (didnt appear on "My computer")

Btw my windows uses 780MB of rams so only 1,2gb left for DayZ.

IMO its your CPU. Ram may help you but not anything spectacular.

Upgrade your processor(CPU) first.

ARMA 2 is a very CPU-heavy game.

In my experience, increasing RAM helps a lot. But since it seems to be DDR2 RAM, it should be better to go for a better CPU, new board and DDR3 RAM. Depends on how long you want to use your current rig. If you still want to use it for a while, go for 4 GB of RAM if the Bios supports that. (Should though).

My motherbord supports DDR 3 rams and only AM3 socket procesors. Soo this procesor would me much better than mine and work good with dayz? AMD Phenom II X6 1045T Socket AM3, 2,7GHz, 9MB, 95W.

It would do absolutely nothing. ARMA 2 can only use a max. of 2Gb RAM. Your CPU is the problem.

Kill it, kill it with fire!

Frankly, I'm not very up-to-date in regards of AMD-Chips. The Athlon series is quite old, but still is/was pretty good, I believe.

If I were you, I would buy better RAM - as if I would update my processor - in the very first place.

Then try it out, look what happens. If that's not enough gain, consider to upgrade to a newer processor as well.

Then you'd need to decide if you want to take a cpu which fits your sockel or if you want to upgrate the board as well.

There still are loads of backround programs and the OS itself taking away RAM.
