agentneo 337 Posted July 9, 2014 Also the graphics settings have very little impact on framerate when you're CPU limited, because draw distances need to be universal for the most part to be fairDraw distance is in the cfg, default to 3000m, like i have said before on arma forums etc. u only need about 1800-2000 for infantry. I use that on all my Armas and Day Z and only use 3000+ when flying Heli. Moving down to 2000m helps performance a lot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SFRGaming 718 Posted July 9, 2014 Get an ssd.While that is good for loading in, it won;t affect is fps one bit, which is what he's concerned with. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZomboWTF 527 Posted July 9, 2014 don't bother buying a new pc just for DayZ yet wait for the game to get into beta stage at least Right now there are ye'olde arma 2 problems still in existence: namely server performance dictating your FPS and big cities being up to 400% more CPU intensive to render than small ones 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grimey Rick 3417 Posted July 9, 2014 Running on maximum regardless of your build, you won't see more than 25-30 frames per second in most cities and ~60 frames per second away from them. When I first started DayZ I was running two GTX 580 video cards in SLI. After using the unofficial SLI fix, I was getting ~120 frames per second away from cities and ~45 frames per second within them. Since I've installed these two GTX 780 Ti video cards, I can get nowhere near that. Either they've modified the game somewhere along the way, or DayZ really doesn't like the Nvidia 700 series video cards. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frosti 2165 Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) don't bother buying a new pc just for DayZ yet This! this. DayZ Standalone has how many zombies in the cities? 1-3 in small cities and 6-8 in big cities? And the FPS is bad or "okayish" for players with beast of computers. Wait till they increase number of zombies and check out the forums if the game is playable then. Because it may be that even NASA computers will be not able to handle it. PS. DayZ mod with ~60 players has average of ~800 zombies spawned in game. Let's see what will happen when those numbers make it to Standalone. Edited July 9, 2014 by Frosti Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The-MCV- 149 Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) Lol. I am planning to buy exactly the same parts. Either the 780 Ghz edition or the 290x tri-x, depends what will be cheaper when I buy it, and that i5. Edited July 9, 2014 by DontGoToBalotaAlone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SouthUS 37 Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) Your graphics are more than enough , the problem is the CPU. As far as I can tell there is not a CPU in existence that can maintain 60 fps in cities at this point, the game is just not well optimized and isn't multithreaded very well. I for one pretty much guarantee you will not get 60 fps in cities. Don't worry though, client side optomization will come eventually This CPU is a problem just for DayZ or....What cpu would you recommend me? EDIT:I'll not buy a new PC only for Dayz. :) Edited July 9, 2014 by Ricardo13 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either the 780 Ghz edition or the 290x tri-x, depends what will be cheaper when I buy it, and that i5.Do NOT tri-X or tri-SLI unless you need to (i.e.: I have a G-sync monitor. if I wanted to do 3-way surround, I'd have to get a 3rd GPU. 1 GPU for every G-sync module.) If it's not needed, then don't do it. The performance gain is not so significant to be worth the extra money, and especially the extra heat output. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The-MCV- 149 Posted July 9, 2014 No, dude, it's a single card, that's just how it's called.

Whenever someone says Tri-X, they usually mean Tri Crossfire as the letter X is associated with such. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captainquack 1 Posted July 10, 2014 so im buiding a computer this summer but the main reason im build is because i want to play dayz. do you think this build is good enough to play on medium settings? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/WKwzhM thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irish. 4886 Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) so im building a computer this summer but the main reason im build is because i want to play dayz. do you think this build is good enough to play on medium settings? thank you. Yes it can. .. better than medium with the right settings.. do tons of research. Also, don't go cheap on your peripherals.. like your mouse, headphones/mic, etc. Buy nice ones, not cheap stuff that will fall apart quickly. Also, are you used to / familiar with Windows 8? If not I would recommend Windows 7.. but thats up to you. Edited July 10, 2014 by lrish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
