TylerIrish 0 Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) Hi,I'm new to the forums so if this topic is in the wrong place let me know.I'm looking for a laptop that can play Dayz Standalone fairly good.All I want to do is play Dayz Standalone on it, I have a budget of $450 USD.So any good cheap laptops for Dayz (SA)out there, and if so which ones?P.S I'm from USA Edited September 28, 2014 by TylerIrish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soulfirez 901 Posted September 28, 2014 Id probably start in this threadhttp://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/154395-can-i-run-dayz-retail-post-here/. might get a good idea of what equipment will run dayz. Also it may help posters willing to help if they knew what country your in (for prices in countries vary alot.) Final point if its just to play dayz why does it need to be a laptop as a desktop in the same price range will run it better(and for cost you can always use an existing flat screen tv for the monitor.

Welcome to the forums mate.ok thanks,i updated the question.I never thought about connecting a desktop to a flatscreen tv.I have a wired internet connection so to connect my desktop to my tv I would need a vary long Ethernet cord,so that's kinda why I want a laptop.I already have a desktop that wont run Dayz.

Whats the desktop eg why wont it run dayz ,it may be cheaper to upgrade parts of that pc to run the game than buy a laptop...

Press the windows key(usually second from the left at the bottom with the R key at the same time this opens the run command box an simply type dxdiag and then hit enter it will bring up all relevant stats of your pc , copy and paste them here if you could(the upgrade could be a simple as putting a graphic card in it which honestly is so easy to do it aint funny... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My laptop im using right now was $425 USD, and runs it on medium/high settings at about 40-ish fps. I bought it at Wal-Mart.com, im not sure if the exact one is still available, I bought it about 6 months ago.

AP_Norris 1018 Posted September 28, 2014 Looking at the minimum specifications I'm thinking that CPU will not do the job.Minimum specifications states an intel dual core with 2.4gHz.Sourcehttp://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri?gameName=dayz&itemId=11929&p=rCPU's in laptops I think are usually the expensive part.

It has an apu so its both cpu and gpu in one and in most cases i would say that would run a game aswell if not better than the laptop Dwalker posted ( amd intergrated graphics are generally better than intels but they have less cpu power . But as dayz is pretty cpu crazy (and not multithreaded to boot) it would give most likely very sub par results on that (with no easy upgrade path being an older style APU)So tough one really if it was me with that budget id still build a desktop to run it but as i dont think you would build one yourself then something like Dwalker is suggesting may be your best path.Keep in mind though min specs listed ask for a 2.4 ghz dual core cpu but many people running laptops manage to get semi respectable results on sub 2ghz cpus (helps runing the lower resolution of 1366x768 vs 1920x1080) So basicly look in your area for a laptop with the highest cpu power thats in your budget (again if it was me on that budget just for dayz id build a pc using the new pentium dual core as that overclocks great and can easily get 4.4 ghz out of it for a 50 dollar cpu ,slap a 750ti in 160 bucks on a cheap mobo and built in psu on a cheap case and you would get under the 450 mark with something that will motor through the game at 1080p.(ram is dirt cheap these days so 8 gig of standard 1600mhz will give you plenty to run any program you want.)

I wish to learn more about these.This is an example of a really cheap effective powerline set up. PM me if you have any further questions but they really are such an easy tech to use just plug in and away you go..it comes with the 2 short ethernet cables you need to connect to router/modem and to the pc after that it is literally plug the thing into the wall( the plugs in your country may be different but i am sure they sell the same thing there just with the correct power plug.

Mos1ey 6301 Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/jamiefry80/saved/xmjRsY Settings go from very low > low > normal > high > very high.

alferret 45 Posted September 28, 2014 http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/jamiefry80/saved/xmjRsYAhh I see you changed CPU spec to the one I reccomended :thumbsup: :beans:Also to eek out a little bit more from DayZ, picking up a cheap'ish SSD for you boot drive and Dayz helps a lot. Removes the load lag that you can get from a mechanical drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
