My friend with an FX-6300 and GTX 760 gets 30 to ~60 FPS on mostly "high" settings.

Thanks for all your advice.  I've looked a bit around and seen that definitely gaming laptops aren't worth buying.

 

What would be the best configuration you suggest, for instance for an AlienWare desktop machine?  Money is not a problem.  On the other hand I simply don't want to spend for useless gizmos.  For instance, is a double graphic card worth buying?

[vfxtodd 125]

I know this might be a silly question. But, I want to be sure I know what will work before designing a PC around gaming.

 

Thanks in advance.

[BSB Jimmy 360]

Yes, yes it will.

[patriots20068@yahoo.com 100]

Yup. That's what I'm using at the moment.

[vfxtodd 125]

Great. Thanks everyone. I was hoping that was the case. Waiting for huge paycheck to build my DayZ PC.   :D

Yes, I have that bookmarked from a previous post. Thanks. :D

[pacpac 22]

it runs in 32 bit right now and winxp compatibility mode offers the most performance fyi

[vfxtodd 125]

So it runs better on Windows XP in 32 bit?

[NuckFuts 265]

So it runs better on Windows XP in 32 bit?

 

Nothing runs as good on 32 as it will on 64, for the simple fact 64bit windows can utilize more RAM, though I'm not sure how RAM hungry DayZ actually is..

It's difficult to say as I'm not familiar with those A series CPUs but I would have thought 30-60 FPS on mostly "high" settings.

The second one is the better system. It should run almost maxed out with 40-60 FPS.

@Mos1ey thanks for the reply, 2nd system ordered.

You may have to decide whether to go the prebuild ( alienware etcetera ) route or pick parts and build one yourself ( or supply those parts to a nearest shop that will put it together for you.

 

IMO the most fun is to build one yourself as its rather easy with basic knowledge and common sense, not to mention that you will maximize the performance per money spent . I would never buy pre- build systems as they tend to skimp on some parts but I appreciate it works out for some.

It is well balanced and easily upgradeable PC for reasonable cash. Actually pretty much the best for that sort of money

 

The only thing I disagree with is the Seagate HDD which I hate ( seagate ) but thats a personal bias talking. Anyways, I recommend WD Caviar blue series, 1Tb should be sufficient.

You could also get little better power supply, not that theres anything wrong with corsair as they make excellent supplies ( For just few quid more you could get the RX or TX series instead ) but some appreciate even higher efficiency but is again, purely subjective.

I run the game now at about 40 fps but with Rendering all off shadows all off and clouds off, objects on normal textures both on High. Getting about 35 FPS in a city

Was wondering should I be looking at better graphics with 35 fps in cities? Or is this a normal fps for what kind of graphics I'm running? Cause the game does not look very good with these graphics =\

Water cool your CPU and then over clock the crap out of it.

Merged.

 

Also, I'd go with the FX-8350 build with an aftermarket cooler and overclock it.
