Low FPS on a good computer

[snowzephyr 0]

Hi, sorry for posting another topic about low fps but it kind of stumbles me as to why my fps is low anyway. Here are my specs:

 

i7 2600k @ 3.4 Ghz

Nvidia Geforce GTX 770

8GB RAM

Gigabyte P67A-UD3P Motherboard

 

Anyway, I know Arma 2 and Dayz aren't very well optimised but alot of the time my fps drops to about 10-20 in cities like cherno and electro for a reason i'm not aware of. I have also tried using the launch settings -nosplash -high -noPause -world=empty -exThreads=3 but no improvement there. Also please don't tell me my hardware can't run the game properly as it blatantly should be able to run it better than I am atm thanks :)

Could be the server you're playing on, too. I get 15-20fps in cities on some servers, 5-8fps on other servers.

-nosplash

-nofilepatching

Try using these parameters as well

-cpucount=4

-exthreads=7 (replace your -exthreads=3 with this)

This is correct for your quad core, also disable hyper-threading in your bios, disable any cpu power saving features, check for cpu parking in resource monitor.

Servers with 1000 vehicles and 50 players (seems to be quite popular these dayz) tend to cause major lag with all the added objects and such.  I stay away from those servers.

Some additional launch parameters for your enjoyment:

-maxVRAM=(10 below your actual VRAM without parenthesis) -maxMem=2047 (anything higher defaults to 2047, without specifying sometimes it will only use 1.5GB)
