Can my rig run DayZ?

[Vespecci 4]

Hey folks! New to this forum, so I'm very sorry if I've misplaced this thread.

I've been told that DayZ is very CPU intensive, so that has me worried (regardless of the fact that my specs are higher than recommended specs)

Radeon HD 7850 3.4ghz Quad core GPU

Phenom II x4 965 Black edition cpu

GA-970A-UD3 AM3+ 970 Sata 6Gb/s mobo

with 8gigs of Ripjaw DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) RAM

So what kind of frames can I expect from these system specs? I would appreciate it if you could guesstimate frames I would get from all low/medium/high settings.

^(Yeah I know the standalone is supposed to release to public alpha via steam this month or the next, but CO potentially going on Summer steam sale? I dont think I can wait :D

Thanks a lot!

You'll be able to run it well on medium to high settings, however, on very high you may have to work with a couple of the least important settings to get a good FPS.

thats good news that folks think I can run it med-high. Do you know abouts what kind of frames I could expect?

20-25 on high 30-35 on medium i had the same set up 3 pc's ago its a very decent bargain set up

eww 30-35? Guess I'd be playing on low then lol

Actually, if you want to "be good" at this game, low is your best bet. There's a lot of things you can spot easier on low.

Inb4 GOD DAMMIT, STOP CHEATING!

yeah, I saw some screenshots of foliage high vs low... Idunno, i dont think I can stand a game without grass lol. I'm still of two minds whether to buy Arma II to play DayZ because the standalone alpha is right around the corner either this month or next. Idk, I really want to play some DayZ though -_-

ALSO: I was reading this

Which states that if you turn settings to high+, it switches over to your GPU instead of your CPU, which makes the game MUCH smoother for some people with better GPU's than CPU's... Back to origional Post...eh? :D Sounds like a win.

Don't listen to the guy who said 25 - 35 or whatever. And also, you'll be able to squeeze more FPS if you optimize ArmA II correctly with a few tweak settings and stuff. Don't worry, he was just being ignorant.

My laptop is with a ATI 4850M 512MB, Intel Centrino Dual Core 2.13GHz and 4GB DRR2 866MHz RAM and even it gets 30 FPS on low.

Oh yeah? That gives me hope. I really hope the Steam Summer sale starts soon, I'll pick up CO. Someone said it was on sale a couple weeks ago for about 8-9$ USD, but I thought it only ever went down to 15?
