carlj 93 Posted December 23, 2013 Does it? That might explain why I started suffering from infrequent but annoying choppiness in ArmA 3/DayZ since I added that... I appreciate it. :)Its the same as opening up your task manager and right-clicking on dayz= priority, high. As I said, it CAN cause instability, but it might work for some. I tried it, and didnt notice any improvement or instability:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applejaxc 2500 Posted December 23, 2013 Its the same as opening up your task manager and right-clicking on dayz= priority, high. I know it is. Also I edited my post warning everyone in case they didn't scroll down and see your warning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vladoffsky 0 Posted December 24, 2013 i7, 6gb ram, radeon 7670m, 11-19 fps in forest, 7-14 fps in towns (on all low/disabled settings, textures normal, resolution 1366x768), regardless of using those changes or not. Tho, changes made in .cfg files helped by boosting my fps by 2-4, yay... But somehow i played Battlefield 3 on ultra with 30+ fps, thanks for help anyways :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darth_Rogue 6 Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) If you're rocking nVidia SLI then you MUST check out this guide on Reddit. Boosted my FPS by 75+%! As of right now there is no SLI profile for the Dayz exe. It will likely be added on the next driver update, or maybe the one after depending on where they are in the driver dev cycle. But until then, follow the instructions posted in the link below. http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1ta9ry/how_to_enable_nvidia_sli_in_standalone/ Edited December 24, 2013 by Darth_Rogue 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chauz 166 Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) I play Dayz on my laptop (using it as a pc) and I put DayZ on realtime in task manager as Dayz is mostly CPU depend this helped me allot and my mate aswell Windows task manager > Details > Right click on DayZ > Select priorities > and select Realmtime. Not everyone will notice a difference but you can always try and test it yourself. Edited December 24, 2013 by Chauz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

armin87 13 Posted December 25, 2013 The Problem Because you Get Bad fps is you AMD CPU, if you Play the normal Arma 2 And 3 Series you Would recognize that they Run on intels a Way mutch better, in the standalone i fit with my Intel i5-4670 plus gtx 770 in the wilderndes 80-100 fps And in Citys like cherno or Elektro mostly 40 but Never under 30, in villages or at the airfield its abou 60-70 on my system, so its Hard for all AMD Users but i think you Never could Play this Game so well like an Intel User.

carlj 93 Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) this -nosplash -skipIntro -world=empty makes my game load longer... not shorterWhat does your menus look like? Empty or can you still see your character standing there?It can if you run shitload stuff in the background It can ofc, but I know no one that ever had problems playing DayZ with this, and I use it since Dayz mod.And so have I, but its known for causing instability, and its important to point it out, because otherwise people will complain. The Problem Because you Get Bad fps is you AMD CPU, if you Play the normal Arma 2 And 3 Series you Would recognize that they Run on intels a Way mutch better, in the standalone i fit with my Intel i5-4670 plus gtx 770 in the wilderndes 80-100 fps And in Citys like cherno or Elektro mostly 40 but Never under 30, in villages or at the airfield its abou 60-70 on my system, so its Hard for all AMD Users but i think you Never could Play this Game so well like an Intel User. As I understand it, the reason why it runs better on an Intel system rather than a AMD(CPU) is because Intel runs with fewer cores and higher clock on their cores. AMD runs more cores at a lower speed. So in this case the only reason why your Intel CPU performs better is because the higher clockspeed per core and DayZ(and most games today) doesnt know how to utilize more cores. DayZ takes the core it needs, and barely knows what to do with them as it is today.As I said, this is what Ive understood from reading about what processor to buy for gaming, if I am wrong, please correct me.

armin87 13 Posted December 25, 2013 I Thing its just the Arma Engine, in every Arma Game you got with an Intel High fps And with an AMD you got Less fps.I saw dayz sa on a Friends AMD pc, it wasHard for me to Play Because on my Pc it Runs fluently And on his pc it was stottering And was nearly unplayable in city areas.You can google of you want Maybe you find something that explains Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has lot ot do with games not supporting multiple cores. You can throw a 200 core CPU at a game, but just a very few of today's game use them. Most games today does only support 1-2 cores. As I also mention before, so have I read that the way AMD is built is with MORE cores and LOWER corespeed. Intel is built with FEWER cores and HIGHER corespeed. This last part is something that someone with better insight have to confirm. Edited December 25, 2013 by carlj Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
