Can I Run DayZ Mod? (POST HERE)

[kevsta545 451]

 

 I have decided that once I build my PC I would like to get into the mod Dayz before the standalone since currently the standalone game seems like less of an experience. I would like if anybody could to give me some feedback on the build I am currently putting together for this holiday season. (I was on a budget since living in a tourist town, being 15, and the seasons are all working against me currently getting a job.) The budget was about $500, and I hope to expand upon that build later on but I will list below a ink to my build, and also a rough list of the parts included.

 

What im hoping for is that this build could either play the game right off the bat, (I don't care about having ultra settings as long as I can get around 40fps on any settings that would be great.) Or, if not what I should do to expand upon the current build so that I will be able to play the game in the future.

What kind of fps would I get on different settings? Could I run this at low to mid settings and get 60 fps? Any feedback greatly appreciated guys thanks!

 

Yes, you will be able to run it. Just monitor your CPU/GPU temperatures and if they get high tone the settings down as need be. 

Nice pc build overall.

Anyway i usually (try) to play dayz mod and on my old gaming laptop it ran fine as you can imagine but that Pc broke and im waiting for enough money to build my gaming PC 

Long story short my piece of shit replacement Pc only gets me 12 Fps and 16 if im lucky lets not even get into citys but i just wanted to know if anything can actually fix my FPS ive done ingame settings etc etc

 

So heres My Specs

Great specs but as it's Alienware I can guarantee that you're paying way more than ought to for it. You could build the same machine for less money yourself.

[kupa12 1]

hey guys, just in process of building a PC, mostly to play the newer games from 2013 -2015 on med - high settings.

 

Please be aware that I do have some of the components, but suggestions for future updates are more than welcome!

 

Desktop or laptop: Desktop

Monitor resolution: 1920*1080p (37" Full HD LG TV)

CPU: i5-4690K

Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 5

Grafics card: EVGA GTX 750 Ti

Ram: 8 GB DDR3 G-Skill RipjawsX 1600mhz

HDD: 1TB Oldschool. - will change that in next month defo ;p

 

As on my old pc the game ran with 15-28 fps on Lowest settings (inc. all the tweaks) I know the new pc will run the game smoothly on Low, my most important question is will it run with stable 40-50 fps on Medium (at least) hopefuly including cities... ( not too much hope for that).

 

Thanks in advance for your helpful Responses!

 

EDIT@

I would be grateful for quotes both on DayZ SA as well as DayZ MOD.

Would this work for running smoothly on high settings?

And the only game I intend on playing is DayZ(Mod) so I dont need it for future games etc. so if its good for DayZ on high settings and is smooth, its fine with me.

[Baker. 1484]

Yes sir, will run like a champ.

[ChompIV 1]

So im getting this laptop for only one game, DayZ(Arma 2Mod) so keep in mind its not like ill need to upgrade anytime soon for new coming games etc. Im just wondering if it will be able to run DayZ(Arma2 Mod) on high settings smoothly and stuff. Here are the specs + link:

Ok.

Not entirely accurate with FPS, however I think 50+ in towns and 80+ outside. High settings that is

Sorry but no. To be honest this game is very poorly optimised and the processor does EVERYTHING. GPU doesn't mean crap for Bohemias ARMA 2 engine. AMD doesn't cope as well with it as Intel does. I had a AMD FX8320 8 core 3.50ghz black edition.

Your looking at 25- 30ish FPS in large towns 40 to 50fps in the open world.

This is capable. If you wanted you could even overclock that CPU a bit. There are plenty of guides around on OC.

You are looking at around 30fps in towns. 50 in open world

[Pegasus177 10]

This will run it but in reality it seems like such a waste.

You could build a much better an more powerful gaming desktop with that budget and the performance would be far better.

I have a gaming PC that I built which has phenomenal performance. Parts minus peripherals came to about €1200

(i7 4790k over clocked to 4.6ghz,

gtx970 over clocked 4gb gaming edition,

LGA1150 ASUS Hero Maximus VII ROG edition

8gb ram

2 SSD's 2

1TB HDD's

gets about 100+ FPS in open world 50-60 FPS in cities )

and I have a gaming laptop which does exceptionally well too but I paid a small mortgage for that laptop €2100

( it's the ASUS G751JY ROG

I7 4860hq

gtx980m

Mobo is a ROG edition with all ROG tools am turbo mode for CPU

32gb ram

2 SSD's

1TB HDD it's a pretty high spec system and I get about 90fps in open world and 40-50 FPS in cities )

My point is no matter how nicely spec'd your laptop is you can always build a desktop that will outshine it for a lot less of the price.

Just some advice but consider it before you buy

I really couldn't recommend buying DayZ with the intention of running it on that system. Sorry!

I think the game will just about run on that machine, but performance would be very poor. Again, I couldn't recomment it. Sorry!

further to what Mosley said with a 90$ graphics card upgrade it will run "OK" so will most other games really.

you need to have a full tower for these^^ but. in case you have one of the slim towers you need to find a low profile card like these

its better than the pc im using now and probably getting 15 fps when not around zombies which is poor i know,  wanted to try this second hand pc i found and have the op of returning it if it dosent play right, Im not really concerned about graphics, would it pull 20 fps with distance turned up , im good with minimum settings as long as texture isnt broken up and i can keep my sight.> until i pick up a new PC--also when you say performance, say it was on low settings, would the performance issue be with bringing up items like aim, or binoculers? or would this just be a graphical issue?
