carbine781 (DayZ) 131 Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) Hi guys. Do any of you guys have any tips for optimizing DayZ and getting more FPS on it? I did try going to my DayZ.cfg in my documents folder, and changing both "GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1000;" and "GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=3;" to 1. I'm pretty sure that helped quite a bit (which is weird because that trick didn't seem to help me in Arma 2 OA).Thats being said, if anybody else has more FPS tips, please let me know :) Thank you.

XplicitVoltz 1 Posted December 17, 2013 Try turning down your object detail as well as turning off postprocessing effects. Hope this helps! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Gews- 7443 Posted December 17, 2013 I turn down my 3D resolution to 910x512 Seems to work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bubbajones 238 Posted December 17, 2013 i'm running a core2 quad 9550 (2.8Ghz), 8GB ddr2 ram, gtx 660 and i have very very nice frame rates at 1920 x 1080 on high settings... considering how old the cpu is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lorax 99 Posted December 17, 2013 Along with some of the other suggestions try turning down your shadows, possibly off. I find for me that shadows suck the fps from my....laptop. Yes I know I don't have a gaming rig yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What exactly is very very nice frames? I run a GTX 660 with an AMD FX-4100 and it bottoms out around 15 FPS, which I figured was just the lack of optimization... Or maybe the FX bulldozers really are garbage :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIC 1050 Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) Verify the game cache through Steam. Go to your Documents and go to DayZ: Go to .cfg and change your GPU Frames to 1 and your 3D performance to about 150000 Adjust your settings to lowest and work your way up until you're satisfied depending on performance/quality. Startup parameters seem to work as well. Edited December 17, 2013 by TIC321 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I has trouble reading multiple cores. AMD will dominate next gen, but not this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stadtkind 5 Posted December 17, 2013 No, Arma is garbage. I has trouble reading multiple cores. AMD will dominate next gen, but not this game. Wrong this game is using very little of my CPU and is now GPU heavy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Zed 272 Posted December 17, 2013 No, Arma is garbage. I has trouble reading multiple cores. AMD will dominate next gen, but not this game. Well then, it's a good thing stand alone isn't on the Arma engine. It's not even on the Arma 2 engine! For me, not sure of my exact FPS, as I don't have anything in game telling me what it is, but it's super smooth for me so far. Then again, I've only played in the dark, so there's no telling what the daylight will bring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ColdArmy 1 Posted December 17, 2013 Try turning down your object detail as well as turning off postprocessing effects. Hope this helps!Turning off post processing did the trick for me. Was even able to turn up textures all the way up afterwards. Runs and looks great now! Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

victusmortuus 1074 Posted December 17, 2013 X4 Phenom 965660 I still get horrible frames, no matter what I do with the settings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLastEmp 295 Posted December 17, 2013 X4 Phenom 965660 I still get horrible frames, no matter what I do with the settings. So AMD's newer processors just can't run the engine well it would seem... I heard some encouraging stuff about their new FX-4300 piledriver series... might pick one up for $100 on newegg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jackerz 0 Posted December 17, 2013 Turn off Anti-Aliasing and Post Processing Affects, or turn them on low/normal, it gives me an extra 25-30 FPS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
