Low FPS with High End PC

[Koalafied 0]

Hello Guys,

 

So i got this problem with dayz were i only get around 10-30 fps on any server of DAYZ. 

Specs: CPU : AMD FX-8320 Eight-Core Processor

            GPU: 2x AMD Radeon HD7970 ghz CROSSFIRE

            RAM: 8192 ddr3

            Energy: 750w

            Mainboard: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3

I tried everything chose the best setings in Dayz. Vsync disabled, postprocess disabled, etc.

I also set the CPU and GPU setings in arma 2 and arma 2 OA to 1.

I rly like the game but atm it is not enyoable and i thought my computer would definatloy be able to run Dayz smooth. Hope anyone can help me.

I'd blame the AMD CPU. I get 60+fps with all settings maxed and view distance maxed. I'm on 3570k, 8gigs of 1600Mhz ddr3, 2 GTX 660 SC

CROSSFIRE

That wont help...not at all

Switch the server, try different locations - in the middle of Cherno doesn't help with the best computer. You wouldn't be the first time. And if you're on a crowded server (more than 10 people), that hasn't been restarted for a whil or isn't administrated properly in general you get that. Try joining a couple of different servers and mods and use this guide:

I run a much cheaper machine and have never had any fps complaints.

I rarely dip below 40 (and often around 80 in the fields) with a radeon HD 6850 plus i5 2500K, 4GB ram, all running stock clock, cheap ass motherboard.

Have you tried different servers?

try updating bios, amd cpus can really lag the shit out of ur pc when u have old bios version

-make sure to put video memory settings to default (uses ur full vram, while very high = 512 mb..)

I tried alot of servers and i never get more than 25 fps :(. the weird thing is that whether i put everythin gon high or low the fps only changes by 1 or 2

Same problem with Arma 2 aswell so i dont think its the servers

[djshauny1 222]

The arma 2 engine is poorly optimised.

Did you try anything from the guide I posted?

This may be helpful info about FX processors and ArmA 2: http://forums.unitedoperations.net/index.php/topic/13152-amd-fx-cpus-and-arma-2/

 

 

Basically, if you're running a highly-intensive program on an FX processor and it does NOT utilize all your cores (ARMA 2 won't fully utilize anything above 4 cores), go to the BIOS and change the AMD ACTIVE CORE CONTROL to "1 Core per CU (Module)" and overclock as much as you can, and you will gain performance, even if you don't overclock. But if the program DOES utilize all of your cores, setting the CPU to only use 1 core per module will only decrease performance.
