5-10 FPS HELP!

[Mr A 1]

I have an AMD Radeon HD 7990, it was like 500$ and I can play LoL/BF3/Cod Ghosts with all max and not experience any FPS drops.

 

but just restarted to play Dayz and I get 5-10 FPS.

 

I've tried everything from putting settings on normal to low and nothing works!

 

I've tried the putting "1" to the settings in the .cfg file

 

My friend with a crappier card gets 30-40, please help!

[Rekli 995]

Arma and DayZ are CPU intensive, try giving us that too please, also be more specific on your graphic settings e.g shadows, anti-alliasing ect

 

as for your friends card, I'd just assume because he has better CPU than you.

Most settings you mentioned low/normal. I updated my GPU and still nothing, slight increase to 15 fps...when I FIRST played Dayz I could run everything on high w/o problem (same CPU,etc BUT older graphics card)

 

I'm baffled, no idea what to do :(

it's the server you are playing on , change servers

[Mr A 1]

I doubt it SO much. I tried on 3 different servers and all the same issue. 

 

Non-hive but I did notice it ran a little smoother on hive servers but still , it shouldn't be this low.

Cod Ghosts

I can run that game on a potato.

Too bad the game doesn't launch with anything less than a toaster.

 

Edit; Oh look, another i7.

Your multi-core set-up is (most likely) the culprit, ARMA 2 MP / the DayZ mod is known for falling on its knees on i7 processors.*

Can you post a screen shot of the in-game graphics settings "Advanced" options?

Try this guys graphics settings worked for my FPS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0k2rqc8ihL0

can you please join here and tell me your fps

 

please reply what are fps as i am running tests

It actually is good, about 40+ FPS.

 

I'm not sure why on the other server I played it's 8-10....how is that even possible?

 

I still don't think it's case closed as most the other servers are US based.

Server performance CAN affect your client's FPS.

Edit; Your connection or server-ping DOESN'T affect your FPS, however.

If you want to get a good FPS then join a server with under 100 ping. Also, just curious but do you also get such crappy framerates in normal Arma 2 servers?

Tried a Wasteland 404 server...yep crappy FPS.

 

I honestly don't know what's going on and it's driving me nuts.

 

I ran Valley Benchmark 1.0 on Extreme HD , which is supposed to be a super heavy stress test for my card and got a good 40 FPS , lowest 35.

 

That means my card is more than capable of giving me good FPS but I have NO idea why Arma 2 / Dayz give me such shitty FPS, I mean it's like max 15 for Christ sake :(

As others have said, Arma and DayZ is cpu intensive.  I've seen quite a few people with i7's and high end cards complaining about the mod.  

 

Can you post your config file and launch params?   Also, where are you getting these low frames?  In the woods?  Cities?  Towns? what servers are you having these problems on?   People really need to post as much info as possible when asking for help.

 Where am i getting low frames - everywhere - inside cities 2x worse.

 

Servers experiencing lag - almost all / non-hive & hive

 

Config file where do I find it?

Config file where do I find it?

Same file. You'll find them in your documents folder under \arma 2. Copy both the Arma2 adn arma2oa into a set of spoiler tags.

Did you run both games to the start menu before installing dayz? Are you completely updated? i see your maxframes are still set to 1000. Change that to 1 for now.

Yes I did. I am running AO at version 1.62. I did change it.

 

I'm not sure what else I can do to fix this :(

Have you tried disabling HT in your BIOS?

 

Absolutely no chance you'll get ArmA II to use 8 cores, you'd be much better off running the 3770 as a quad.

How exactly do I do that.

 

I know how to get into my BIOS, but, isn't that Hyperthreading? (pardon if it's not)

 

I'm not sure what I'd do once I get there. Is it my computer the problem? I can run LoL at very high FPS just Arma 2/Dayz which give me the problems.

LoL and ArmA II are completely different kettles of fish, it's not even worth comparing.

 

Yeah, by HT I mean hyperthreading. If you aren't sure what that is it essentially splits each core of your CPU into 2 logical cores per physical. It's great for things like heavy multitasking or video rendering but it's essentially useless for gaming. Once you're in your BIOS you should find the option to disable HT under CPU, performance or advanced. It depends on your motherboard unfortunately so I can't really be more specific. Just have a look around.

Hello, I am also having the same problem with DayZ.

 

I understand that this game is CPU intensive, but I've read that anything clocking at a 3.0ghz or over would be sufficient for this mod. Here are my specs...

 

 

Windows 7 64 bit

Intel i5 661dual core 3.3ghz (3.6ghz on boosted)

Geforce GTX 660 ti SC edition 2GB DDR5

8GB of DDR3 RAM 

 

I have tried every trick (seemingly) in the book when it comes to optimizing your system for gaming. I have set the advanced system options in the control panel for performance, fully updated my GPU drivers (dur), changed the .cfg files in My Documents, inserted the shortcut parameters that I have read will boost performance, Unparked all of my cores, set my nvidia control panel to every max performance option that I saw. Nothing works. I still get just 20 FPS in ArmA2 on both the very lowest settings, and the very highest settings, between 8-12 FPS in DayZ, again on both the very lowest and the very highest settings. Is there something I am missing? Is there an update I need? I really cannot see that kind of FPS with the system that I have. I was thinking, after all of the reading I have done, that I could pull off 30-40 fps on Arma2 and 20-30 fps on DayZ.

I disabled it, the game does run smoother now. Does disabling HT have any bad side effects? I don't want my computer to fry or something x-X

 

Also, I uninstalled an AV called ESET NOD32 which is very strict apparently. That also automatically made my FPS run higher, no idea if that was the problem, but as soon as it was gone my FPS just went up.

[The_Musician 0]

Ok so I disabled HT and that worked a little. Now getting 15-20 in chernarus in country and 8-10 in towns. Still feel like I am lacking performance....
