Guest Posted August 21, 2013 Hi, my brother and I both recently bought a gaming pc each. My specs are 4670k 7970 8gb RAM windows 7 home premium 64bit and I run the game on the highest settings very smoothly. My brother has 3570k 7950 8gb RAM Windows 7 pro 64bit and his framerate stutters all the time especially when he tries to turn while running. We have a third pc which we tried which is old with an athlon 6000 x2 and a 4870 and it runs dayz far better than my brothers new gaming pc. I even put the resolution down to 1024x768 and with everything set to low or off and it STILL stutters yet if I put the same settings on the third PC which is years old it will run the game like a dream. Any idea what I can try with his PC? I have just spent a few hours formatting it and reinstalling all drivers and updates and it still did it. Is there a problem with the 7950 and this game? Could it be a windows 7 pro 64bit thing? Any help you can offer will be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLastEmp 295 Posted August 21, 2013 Might want to send a PM to AmberHelios . He's kind of the go to guru with things like this. As far as I know there aren't any compatibility issues with any of the components in your bro's computer... I really haven't the foggiest idea what could be causing it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applejaxc 2500 Posted August 21, 2013 That's odd. Does the older PC have a better GPU? You said 79XX in both of the PC's stats; I'm going to go ahead and assume that's the model of AMD. What GHz is your brother's PC at? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death_Dealer 3155 Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) What GHz is your brother's PC at? lol. -- Sometimes you just get bad performance in Arma 2, sometimes you don't My old laptop's processor ran better FPS in cities compared to my 3570k @ 4.3GHz, Arma 2/Dayz is just horribly optimized, so it's a performance gamble really Edited August 21, 2013 by Death Dealer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 21, 2013 The old pc has an old 4870 amd card from quite a few years ago. Yes his new card is AMD and is a HD 7950 which I was assured would run most games nicely and is the card one step below my 7970 which runs the game with no stutter whatsoever.. His 3570k is at stock speed. I have installed the latest graphics drivers on his and have fiddled with the in game settings to no end but he cannot even play well on 1024x768 whereas I can play 1920x1080 on highest settings without any probs.
