DimbleDork 0 Posted July 9, 2013 Here are my specs:FX6100 amd cpuNvidia 6708gb ddr3 ram@1333mhz2x500gb hardriveGigabyte M68MT-S2 motherboard.I built this myself, I can run every other game fine. Even on the lowest settings the most I get on dayz is 20.I know this game is more cpu intensive but people with a 670 like me can run the game just fine, I'm completely confused.I've set launch parameters relative to my system, (maxmem, vram, cpucount etc) barely any difference.I'm running the game off of ramdisk too, which hasn't changed anything even changing the settings to the lowest they can possibly go changes nothing!I've been trying for months to make this game playable but no avail, even the bloody config files changing the pre rendered frames to 1 made it run even slower so I keep it at 4,Someone please help :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chetubet 1 Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) Did you try ajusting the gfx settings for AO through your Nvidia Control Pannel? Edited July 9, 2013 by chetubet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chetubet 1 Posted July 9, 2013 Also, I assume you have tried everything from this thread below?http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/38865-how-to-increase-fpssmooth-out-the-game/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DimbleDork 0 Posted July 9, 2013 All of it. Barely any difference. And yes I did adjust the settings in Nvidia control panel to the ones specified in the thread but that didn't change anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After I restart the game its usually fixed... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uncledude426@gmail.com 107 Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) Gotta believe it's your cpu. My brother runs the same gpu with a 3570k at high framerates/settings (30+ in cities and 60+ everywhere else).One thing you could do is check that your cpu (cpu-z) and gpu (MSI Afterburner or EVGA Precision) are clocking up fully.Edit - Also check task manager during gameplay. It's likely you'll find one core at or near max utilization. That'll be your bottleneck. Edited July 9, 2013 by Drunk in Cherno Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So even if you have a fancy new gfx card an old and slow CPU with bottleneck the crap out of you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DimbleDork 0 Posted July 9, 2013 On the first benchmark. my avg fps is about 60. On the second its 20. But In dayz it's not nearly as good as this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barrett_killz 229 Posted July 9, 2013 His CPU is alright. Most likely it's a software problem or something's not good with your CPU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prototype771 4 Posted July 10, 2013 All of it. Barely any difference. And yes I did adjust the settings in Nvidia control panel to the ones specified in the thread but that didn't change anything.This set of new patching done within the last few weeks really tore the little performance I had anyways. I've concluded this was predominant when zeds aggro in larger packs (usually by a vehicle, which REALLY dips my fps to the levels of hell.). This wasn't always there... only since the 1.7.7 patch has this been a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
