No. You could try at very low resolutions and lowest settings but likely, answer remains no.

 

 

 

 

Hello Guys,

 

I just bought DayZ today but have serious lagg issues even in the lowest quality settings.

 

I´m playing the Alpha version. Here are my datas:

 

OS: Windows 7 SP1 

Processor: Intel Core i5-4670 CPU @ 3,40GHz 3,4 GHz 

Memory: 8,00 GB RAM

Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 (2bg ram)

DirectX: (I dont know if i have directx) 

Hard Drive: enough space

 

Desktop PC

Monitor resolution: 1920 x 1080

SSD? No

i have a sshd

 

 

Can somebody say, why it laggs that bad?

thank you very much.

 

 

Because of that GT 610

You must have DirectX installed, otherwise you wouldn't be able to even start the game.

Can anyone give me an idea of what FPS to expect  and if they will run it on high and up Settings

 

 

Any help would be appreciated 

 

Anyone ???

Hard to guess what kind of FPS will you get. 270X would run DayZ pretty well. I am not sure of UK prices so I can't really judge if it is a good or bad price for one but you will not benefit much from that i7. Could save around 100$ by getting an i5 (i think that is equivalent to about 60£). That 330W PSU smells bad though, I think that 270X is downlocked to lower power consumption to safe levels.

 

Another odd thing is 1x8GB RAM Dual Channel - I can't figure out a way how one module could work in dual channel.

 

My guess is, it is overpriced. Because it is Alienware and the fact that it would cost around 1300$.

Thank you , Turns out the RAM is actually 2 x 4GB :)  - I've spec'd up similar machines on http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/build-your-own-pc/

 

And the cost is more then the Alienware as the Alienwares are DELL refurbs saving me around 30% whilst still having a years warranty. 

 

Decisions, decisions - One thing I heard was that the SA is processor intensive are you sure I wouldn't benefit in the long run getting an i7? 

 

I think I'm leaning towards this though, If you think the 270X over the GTX 670 then I would get an SSD thrown in for the same cost here :  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dell-Alienware-X51-R2-3-9ghz-i7-8GB-1TB-256-SSD-Radeon-R9-270X-WIFI-e579-/351029294377?pt=UK_Computing_DesktopPCs&hash=item51baf9f529

 

I get A further £100 off that price , Same for this one

SSD will help you bring down loading times in SA, drastically. 4770 is 4670 with HT and only slightly higher clock. Won't make difference for that extra cost. 270X will run all your games decently. If my goal was to play bf3 or cod then I would get 670 because those games favor Nvidia cards but for DayZ, it seems to be opposite.

 

That power supply seems still cheesy. Won't have any room for likely even minor GPU OC.

I'm curious too, As I've gone through comparison sites for the 2 cards and the GTX 670 has been winning hands down 

 

http://www.game-debate.com/gpu/index.php?gid=1863&gid2=592&compare=radeon-r9-270x-vs-geforce-gtx-670

 

Is there something I'm missing here..... :unsure:

I'll make it really simple. 270X is a lot cheaper than 670 being what I would call "small margin" slower in most games. While we are at it - to me, it seems that DayZ runs better on slightly less powerful AMD cards than Nvidias counterparts. I have tried to play DayZ on HD7850, which is mid-end card at best, GTX660Ti and GTX760. While 660Ti is little more powerful card, 760 beats 7850 in 99% of new titles (1% is really badly optimized for nvidia). However, even though I never hit as high FPS with 7850 as it was with 660Ti/760, the minimum frames did not drop below 20 with it.

 

Test setup wasn't exactly high-end PC with 3570K 4.4GHz, 2x4GB 1866 CL9 RAM, 840EVO SSD.

 

Even though the avg FPS is unknown to me because there was no measuring done, 7850 dealt a lot better with FPS drops.

 

Now, even though 670 is more powerful - you will get an SSD within the budget with 270X. And SSD will have huge impact on loading times in DayZ which improves the performance in game overall + it adds much to usage overall, not only DayZ.

 

DIdn't end up really simple but it is what it is.

 

e: I haven't yet got to OC my 290 further than factory OC but for mid-end AMD cards, the OCing adds quite a bit of performance. I was able to juice further 30% core clock from my 7850 to run it stable for any stress-testing. And it added a lot of performance to games, making it comparable to factory default 7870. Now, clocking the new R-series card can be little more pain in ass, it does help significantly.

im just saying there is no way SA works better on one manuf than an other in terms of graphics cards...

 

however CPU, different story.

Well, it does definitely not prefer different "manufacturers" card but to me, it seems that it prefers one architecture over another. Looking at synthetic benchmarks and the same comparison (7850vs760), AMD gets beaten in all but computing power - it just might be that more and high-poly geometric and textures are what tear down performance in cities. I have actually read about it from somewhere that the poly-count was incredibly high in this game for such simple objects. So, it is not really about the manufacturer but how the processing units are developed and produced.

 

And, the higher graphic settings you go, the more GPU intensive it gets. That would be engine causing it.

Thank you for your help, as I already have a xbox one and PS4 I'm gonna get the i7 4th gen with the R9 270X and SSD :)

Here's to finally going back to Cherno

Don't forget what I said about power supply! :)

 

Hope it will work out fine for you.

Noone can give you a meaningful reply until you tell us your monitor resolution. More pixels require more processing power, playing at 2560x2048 is not the same as playing on a gameboy monitor.

Hey Guys, I need to pick up a new laptop for school and am pretty keen on the Dell XPS 15 9530. I'm just not sure how it will handle both DayZ SA and the mod. Any help is much appreciated! 

 

The specs are;

Desktop or laptop: Laptop
Monitor resolution: 3200x1800
CPU: Intel 4th Gen i7-4702HQ
Graphics card: Nvidia Geforce GT 750M (2GB GDDR5)

RAM: 16GB @ 1600 mhz (2x8GB)
SSD? Yes or no. I have the option of either the model with a 1TB 5400rpm HDD + 32GB mSATA  or paying an extra $375 for the model with just the 512GB mSATA SSD. I'm not sure if it's really worth the extra $375?

[SGT. Kalme 106]

It will play DayZ decently, thou that is odd resolution. But I still put my bet on decent. 750m is decent card and that CPU is good enough.

 

5400rmp drive is slow. Really slow. And 32GB SSD is too small if you want more than just Linux on it. Between these options, I would personally pay the money for 512GB SSD.

Thanks man. Yeah it's one of the QHD displays. I think it can be scaled to suit? Do you have any idea on the FPS I should be able to expect with those specs?

I was worried about the HDD. I guess I'll probably go for the SSD option. Unless you/anyone has any suggestions for a better laptop? Keeping in mind I'd like it to be pretty thin and pretty light.
