fps to low. unable to properly play.

[Giomanach 0]

hi guys, ive been playing dayz for a while now and i have a problem.

i can only play on low population servers.

ive adjusted the settings and my video card settings etc, ive did almost everything i can to increase my fps.

but whenever i go on a high population server (20 people is enough) my fps drops down to 9-18. (if im lucky, my average fps is 12-15. outside of cities btw)

i have small lag spikes in between dropping my fps to 6.

my specs

Windows 7

Nvidia Geforce GTX 550 Ti

AMD Athlon dual core 7750

4 GB on memory

32 bits control system

60 MB internet connection.

could you guys help me?

[Blondedash 403]

quad core if you want good performance for Dayz.

You just don't have a good enough computer. :/

^THIS IS RIGHT.

ok, then what should be best to replace first? the dual core to a quad core or?

ill look into that for you, quad definitely though if you want smooth frames. ill check the 550ti out also is your win7 32-bit?

32 is fine for 4gb RAM anymore and he would need 64bit, upgrade to a quad core first the 550ti should be ok for the time being but needs to be updated next. Your problem is that AM2+ socket is a bit restricted for quad cores, which means you'd have to update your mbo as well. if your dual core 7750 is a black edition you should be able to OC it to about 3.3ghz add some extra cooling and it will improve your FPS. If you go for a new mbo and cpu go for a AM3+ mbo and get a fx-4300 :)

can you plz point out to me where his mobo is :facepalm: why didn't I know.

lol i just read up on his cpu it is am2+ compatable so i put 2 and 2 together :)

also just done some research i think you may be able to but a AM3 processor into a AM2+ mbo i will look further into it if you can post me the full specs of your mbo

[Blondedash 403]

k I thought I was stupid but you studied.

He didn't list the mobo but I think you'd have a hard job finding a decent quad-core that's the same socket as an Athlon dual.

Like Beat said, I'd go with a new motherboard and CPU combo first. The 550Ti isn't particularly bad and ARMA 2 can only use 2Gb RAM, so you should see a massive increase in performance with a new, better CPU.

You guys posted while I was typing. :ph34r:

I think i may have a solution if he has a AM2+ mbo he may be able to use a AM3 cpu which will enable him to get a half decent quad core. and im always a :ph34r:

If he's still using DDR2 RAM then that might stop him having to replace his RAM too. Might be worth looking in to. :)

[beatSTV 631]

right done my research if you have a AM2+ mbo you should be able to put a phenom II 650 X4 quad core @3.4ghz this will boost your performance no end.

ram is so cheap these days it should'nt be a problem

Simple solution is to go to your gfx driver settings and turn everything down ALOT, then you can turn settings up ingame. it should make it run a bit smoother.

GPU isnt the issue his 550ti is able to handle DayZ. Its the cpu which is his bottleneck, adjusting his driver settings will help but maybe for an extra 2-3 fps

so i would need to buy a new Motherboard first?

Hey guys I've been playing DayZ for a few months now. When I first started playing DayZ I had decent frames, I could play on normal settings and a few weeks back I've had fps lag I don't know if it means that my PC is terrible or if its just DayZ. I hope I can play Dayz without this horrible lag.

System Specs:

Processor: Intel® Core i5-2450M CPU @ 2.50GHz

Ram: 4Gb

System type: 64-bit

Graphics card: Nvidia Geforce 610M

Can someone please help me fix this :)

[beatSTV 631]

i cant really comment as i lack the knowledge on laptops hopefully someone with a bit of experience will post on here and help you out. I will just say that it looks like your CPU clock speed is pretty low should be closer to the 3.0ghz mark however im not sure if that applies so much on laptops i presume it would.
