New player - i7 3770k & GTX 670 SLI, totally unplayable!

[zee_ 0]

Hi guys,

 

I'm new to Arma II/DayZ and im unable to play the game :(

 

My specs are as follows:

 

i7 3770k @ 4.7Ghz

8GB DDR3 @ 2200 mhz

2xGTX 670 SLI

 

In-game settings 'High'

 

My framerate seems to be incredibly choppy, as soon as i move the mouse i get a slideshow. It is totally unplayable.

 

Any ideas as to why this might be happening?

 

The strange thing is, the realtime loop in the main menu is really smooth. But as soon as i go ingame it just lags to hell.

 

:(

SLI

Arma doesn't like SLI....it's not compatible with it turn it off

EDIT: I assume there's a way to turn it off, I'm currently too poor to understand SLI

^This^

100%

SLI just isn't the ideal way to play games in my experience.

 

Most aren't optimized to make use of two GPUs I guess...

 

You could just take one out... One GTX 670 is plenty to run DayZ at 40+ FPS on high or very high
