Cap'n (DayZ) 1827 Posted April 13, 2013 Not shure where to post this, so I'll just leave it here. I was just curious what graphical settings everyone plays on, as the quality of screenshots/videos on this forum varies greatly. I've been playing it with about 40 frames on Very High with AA on and Post Processing disabled, and some things set to high and medium instead of very high(like object detail and shadow detail). I see people on youtube who have pretty nice pc's that play this on pretty low settings with vegetation and shadows disabled so they can have some kind of tactical advantage(if there is one?). I don't believe in making my game look crappy just so I can squeeze out the extra frames. So brahs and brahs, what settings do YOU play on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zombie Gladiator 10 Posted April 13, 2013 I play with everything as low as possible. Still getting about 5 fps, though. Time for a new comp, eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diddums 3760 Posted April 13, 2013 Maxed out. Everything. Funny thing is, my PC is mid-range at best by today's standards. Weird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cap'n (DayZ) 1827 Posted April 13, 2013 Maxed out. Everything. Funny thing is, my PC is mid-range at best by today's standards. Weird.Same here. I've got a sort-of-mid range desktop, with a 7850 and the fx 8350. Of course, it helps to have a monstrous processor like mine because this game is pretty CPU intensive. What are your PC specs?

anAveragePotato 5 Posted April 13, 2013 I play with everything in either high or very high that way it uses the graphics card not the CPU, I have a few things disabled for a few extra fps but that's just to make recording more possible for my videos :) I've got a fx 4100 @ 4.3 ghz and a 6870 so a fairly mid range PC aswel Oh yeah I average around 40 fps although recently I've been hitting the high 50s to my amazement :o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Friendly Bandit 137 Posted April 14, 2013 I play with a blend of high and low settings, and since using ramdisk, I have never once dipped below 60, even in Sabina on Origins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got killed the other day entirely due to laggy frames, I had the jump on the guy but I couldn't hit him at 4 fps... I was so pissed. <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tr1x 53 Posted April 14, 2013 everything maxed out, but with shadows disabled, my game runs really well and still looks nice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mos1ey 6301 Posted April 14, 2013 1080p, everything maxed, post-process effects disabled.I turn shadows off sometimes too, I don't really like the way they look in ARMA 2 for some reason, and disable AA sometimes if I want a few more FPS for firefights.

dulix11 731 Posted April 14, 2013 I used to play with everything low / very low with no shadows, texture detail etc but then I assume my graphics card melted because all these weird shapes were popping up on the screen and it was unplayable. My new computer will be much better though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My new computer will be much better though.That's artifacting.There was a bug with barbed wire that caused it if you looked anywhere near it, sometimes it was so bad it literally filled your whole screen. Frying your graphics card would do it too though, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anAveragePotato 5 Posted April 14, 2013 This little bubba from Toshiba. Weighs under 5 lbs! (I'm trying to find nice things to say about it).I'll help you out a little :D It's got very nice stickers on the front and also that tomahawk attachment looks very nice indeed, is that usb yes? I'd say it's handy when the mouse just isn't good enough for melee attacks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
