Can I Run DayZ Mod? (POST HERE)

[mzltv 2281]

Hi all,

 

Below is my very first build. I've been told by a good few people now that I'm paying a lot of money for what it is - and that I can improve vastly in some areas. They however, haven't told me what is overpriced.

 

I'd be appreciative if you could quickly peruse the below and tell me what I could change? I'm quite happy personally but I don't know much about computers and feel that I need someone to tell me:

• AMD FX6300 3.5GHz (6 Core) (already purchased)
• CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler
• ASRock 990FX Extreme4 ATX AM3+ (already purchased)
• Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x 4gb) DDR3/1600MHz
• Samsung 840 Series 120GB SSD
• Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200rpm HDD
• Gigabyte Radeon HD7970 GHz Edition 3gb
• Bitfenix Shinobi (Window) Mid-Tower
• Corsair CX600w
• Lite-on DVD/CD Writer

Peripherals:

• Asus VE278Q 27" Monitor
• Logitech K120 Wired Keyboard
• Logitech G400 Wired Optical Mouse

Total cost: £1,150.82 / $1,852.82 / €1,359.63 http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/1PNLx

Everything is fine with that build, should easily run everything on the market.

 

Maybe, if anything you could put in another hard drive or slightly larger SSD?

Maybe, if anything you could put in another hard drive or slightly larger SSD? 

It's all dependant on the amount of money I get to fund it all from my bonus. I suppose I could increase the SSD if the funds allow...

 

My primary concern is the whole HD7970 GHz Edition vs R9 280x arguement. I hear that the 7970 GHz Edition can out-do the R9 280x in terms of potential overclocking.

 

Failing that, in the future I could probably just Crossfire 2x HD7970's. That'd pack a punch I suppose.

I got one more for you guys.

 

Intel Core i5-3470 3.2Ghz

8GB(2x4) DDR3 RAM

WD 1 TB 7200 RPM SATA

CoolerMaster Elite 400W

GeForce GTX 650 Ti

Win 7 64

Desktop or laptop: Laptop
Monitor resolution: 1600c900
CPU: AMD phenom II B640 Dual-Core Processor  2.90GHz
Graphics card: IDK
RAM: 6.00 GB (5.74 GB usable)
SSD: No

Would run okay on medium settings. The graphics card would hold the rest of the system back a bit.

Need to know which graphics card you have in there really. If it's an integrated chip then you won't run ArmA II on there. If it's a mid-range dedicated card then you'll be able to just about run on low-medium settings.

That's what I was afraid of... I was also looking at the boosted, 2GB model from Asus. What if I had 2x GTX650 Ti Boost 2GB?

It would be much better to get maybe a 660 ti instead of 2x 650 ti boosts as arma doesnt like crossfire very much.

^This.

 

Running dual cards will cause more problems than it would solve. The GTX 660Ti would be a decent choice though.

My friend wants a new PC, I've picked out some parts for him.

 

i3 3220 Dual Core @3.3GHz (WITH HYPER THREADING, MEANING IT TECHNICALLY HAS 4 CORES)

GTX 660 Twin Frozr 2GB GDDR5 VRAM

600W PSU (MODULAR) 

4GB Crucial Tactical 1600MHz RAM

1TB HDD

MSI Z77A-G43 Motherboard (Socket 1155)

 

He plans to play at 1920x1080 moniter

[ApachiiNoob 1]

Yes, but on low-medium settings.

Bullshit. the i3 is a decent CPU, I'd choose it any day over an FX Cpu. he'll get around 40 FPS maybe, and i3 is just a crippled i5.

Hello,

I'm thinking of buying arma 2 for this MoD, it seems very fun and intresting.

My specs are as follows :

22" monitor running a max res of 1080p

AMD FX 6300 black edition cpu

Corsair Vengeance 1333 mhz 4 GB ddr3

Gigabyte AMD Radeon 7790 HD 1GB PCI-Express 3.0 HDMI OC

It will be great if anyone with similar specs could give me an idea of what my fps would be.

Thanks

You should get around 30 fps on medium settings :)

Thank you for the reply!

I was hoping for more. What do you think is my week point in this build ?

Cheers!

Hyper threading on a CPU doesn't double it's cores. It means one core can do more workload then if it was without Hyper threading. The i3 is a bit weak as ARMA likes to use a lot of CPU usage. It should run on Low to Med at least. The 4gb of RAM might be pushing it for future games though.

If im honest with you, there is no weakpoint in that build, it is pretty solid..

But if you can i'd reccomend a amd 7870 as your gpu

Edit- actually hold that thought. You would probably benifit more from getting 4 more gigs of ram

Sorry to say this but it's the Dell XPS420 with a different video card... Run DayZ?

This will barely run DayZ on lowest settings, sorry.

Thanks for the response. I hope to find other ways to support this amazing mod (and future mods).

Would either of these run DAYZ?

That CPU is very slow, and if you could get it to run in would probably get 10 - 25 fps everything low.

[mlouden03 5]

Just wondering, how is it slow? Is it the 2.2 ghz? it's I7 so it's quad core, right?
