Is there a difference between Arma 2 Free and Arma 2 paid when it comes to framerate in Dayz?

                                    I need help,(duh),anyways I have Arma 2 free and Arma 2 OA and only Operation Arrowhead runs well,all settings are set to low quality.When I play OA the framerate is good enough for me but when I launch Dayz it drops to 4-9 frames per second. If I bought Arma 2 full version would this alleviate my problems?

Framerate? Not really. Visual fidelity/quality? Yes.

Oh,well thank you for the input you just saved me from spending some well deserved money. Now that will go to better rig.

if visuals are improved, one would expect that fps should go down...

just thinking logically, but dunno how it is in practice

The difference:

Arma 2 free is cheap.

Idk if there's an official free version, of if you're pirating harder than Edward Kenway (teehee).

One would expect, yes. I largely found better FPS in full than otherwise.
