DayZ Minimum specifications?

[kevsta545 451]

So the dev team has been working on dayz for awhile now.. Shouldn't they have a basic idea of the engine now? I know the engine has parts of arma 2 and such but I'd like to get an idea of the minimum specifications soon, thanks for reading and have a nice day!

P.S I'm talking about standalone

What does that have to do with suggestions? Better ask in "will my PC run it?" ( too lazy to look for the link. )

Currently I do not believe that any requirements have been released.

Moved to General Discussion.

From what's been said in devblogs cpu load is going to be less than the mod.

As it is still based on Arma 2 I think it will still be cpu and hdd heavy.

It's going to need a good pc to get the full experience.

What concerns me more is the server side. Although they've obviously made progress with server fps I reckon the server hardware has to be the best. Once the server files are released to the general public (if at all) you're going to see some terrible fps/desync.

But no biggy as Dean will obviously release his own servers to the public at first, as he has stated numerous times.

I have a slight concern with standalone. How is everyone going to be able to play? As far as I am aware all servers will be run by BIS. There will be a few 50 ish man servers but this isn't going to keep the million people that downloaded the mod happy. Or am I being a dufuss? As I recall rocket said no private servers will be available?

Are you sure he has said that there won't be any private servers?

These are some of the basic specs I've seen, but I've heard that they are only preliminary and a higher end rig may be required as the dev build isn't running large scale servers yet.

 

CPU- i7 3930k

GPU- at LEAST 2 780's, framerate may suffer without three

HDD- 3tb, the game will use up a good 2.5tb.

SSD- I heard loading takes about an hour, with an SSD. They've yet to try it with a hard drive.

RAM- 16GB's minimum, still causes visual tears and such without an extra stick of four.
