purinacatfood 0 Posted April 15, 2013 Well I just built a new PC , on dayz I get around 50 fps on low setting in the open fields and forest. And I get 25 fps in towns. My friend has an i3 with a shittier graphics card than mine and he manages to get better performance than me.Is something wrong with my system or is it just Dayz horrible optimation at play.

jdtherocker 37 Posted April 15, 2013 Internet could be an issue. Does he have a better internet provider/plan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

geryon 180 Posted April 24, 2013 Hope I'm not too late...I have a fx 8320 with a GTX670 with 8 GB of ram and a SSDrive. Open fields I can get upwards of 120+ fps on low settings (low pop server with 35-50 ms pings). You might want to post your graphics settings because Arma2 is weird and unintuitive on what the right set up should be. In the same house another machine with GTX 580 on a i5 3750 with 8 GB of ram. The Intel machine performs better on equal low settings in cities like Cherno. Overall Intel is the better choice over AMD with Arma2/Dayz mod however my gut says your machine on a good low latency server should be giving you better frame rates then you mention.With my AMD machine I can get from 20 to 120+ fps depending on the situation. I eventually forced myself to turn vsync on to minimize the fps fluctuations.From my readings Arma2 won't take advantage of all of the Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
