Low fps on a decent PC

[xSvenHD 0]

Hello,

I recently builded my own game pc because i wanted to play those cool games like arma 2 (dayz). But i got 10 to 20 fps sometimes 30 fps in dayz.

Specs:

Amd FX-6300

Amd HD 7870 Oc edition

8gb 1600mhz ram.

I saw people on the internet with almost the same specs getting 40 to 50 fps. I tried edditing the configs (maxframesahead) playing with amd ccc settings and i am using ramdisk for dayz nothing really works for me. I also notice that my cpu usage is not going up more than 60 %.

Can someone please help me?

Thanks.

sorry for my english.

Texture HIGH

Video memoey DEFAULT (IMPORTANT)

Terrain HIGH

Objects Detail HIGH

Shadow MEDIUM

HDR HIGH

Post process OFF

Quality Preference HIGH

Screen res: If youre running full screen make sure youre INTERFACE res is the SAME as 3D res, thats important

Why my suggestions preferense here are higher than youres? This will make the game fully use youre 7870 instead of youre cpu.

Try this and report back..

still 20 fps

[John69 64]

So, no improvement...same fps?

What driver are you using for that HD7870? This is latest AMD driver : http://www.guru3d.co...2_download.html

And what HDD are you using, you know if its a SSD or a "normal" HDD, if "Normal" HDD you know if its a slow spinning one eg.4800 or 5200rpm? EDIT: I saw youre using Ramdisk

Other drivers are up to date?

Maybe you messed something up while fiddling with the cfg files

Whats youre GPU usage after my settings compare to youre settings?

You can use MSI afterburner to see youre fps,gpu usage and temps ...so on..

DL Msi afterburner from here: http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/msi_afterburner_beta_download.html

Also DL the RTSS for onscreen monitoring ingame : http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/rtss_rivatuner_statistics_server_download.html

Msi Afterburner can be used with ANY gfx manufacturer, its a greate tool for monitoring temps,overclocking,gpu/memspeed...so on

i have a msi gfx so i already have it. Gpu usage is not consistant its jumping up and down.

Edit: i just played normal arma 2 with your settings and i get between 75 to 110 fps

Edit: i fixed it with reinstalling arma 2 thanks for the help guys!

I am having this same issue. I can go into ARMA 2 and get 60fps but in DayZ I am only getting 5-12 fps!

[Provos 7]

Try not to play in windowed mode. That seems to lower the fps. What software are you using to check fps?

[arrowxd 9]

I was having this problem, try a server with decent ping, defrag your arma 2 and arma 2 OA as it will speed up the load times, my fps did increase after a while of playing which is unorthodox but i just kept playing and it got better.

Anyone have any other ideas??
