Strange FPS problem

[Vladoffsky 0]

Hello survivors. I have strange issue with FPS in game. When i run all max (1366x768 resolution with no post processing, this means all textures, anti aliasing, object detail, etc. on max) i have about 6-9 FPS in forests, "that is normal" i thought, because it is not a gaming PC, it is a laptop. When i turn the settings down (1366x768 resolution, turn off anti aliasing and everything on medium, all effects off) i get a 2-4 fps boost, which gives me about 8-13 fps in forests, still unplayable. Ok, i thought, i will play on low then. But when i turned everything off, i mean everything i could, textures on low, object detail on low etc. (resolution still 1366x768), i gained from 0 to 1 FPS in forests. After that i tried to search the forums, found settings for the .cfg files and start parameters for the game. Tried different combination of both, gained about 3 FPS. That sums up to 11-16 FPS in forests.

 

The strangest thing is that turning off most of parameters (except anti aliasing and ambient occlusion) give me almost 0 FPS boost, i can play with all settings on max except anti aliasing and AO, and have about 6-9 FPS, and turning everything waaaay down gives me only about 3-4 FPS boost. The only thing that really helps (by giving about 15-25 FPS boost) is lowering down the resolution, but this way everything gets really blurry, and almost unplayable.

 

So the question is, is the engine still so unoptimized, or there is some problem with my laptop? And is there a way to fix this, or I better wait 'till some performance patches? Thanks in advance.

 

My Toshiba Satellite L855 specs are:

i7-3630QM 2.4GHz

6Gb RAM

Radeon 7670m 2Gb

750GB Hitachi Travelstar 5K750 HDD

all running on Win8

 

P.S. was playing BF3 on ultra, Crysis 2 almost on max settings, can run almost all modern games on med-high settings with perfect FPS.

P.P.S sorry for loads of text and bad english :D

Alot of people with higher end rigs even have problems with running the mod and the game. Do you have an onboard GPU that DayZ is defaulting to or something?

I think i7 has integrated GPU, but how to check what GPU is game running on? That may be the case.

He's got a laptop.  :rolleyes:

 

OP: CPU speed is likely your culprit. You may actually do better with some settings on normal rather than low as it will use the GPU a little more taking some strain off the CPU.

 

Good luck.  :beans:

I am also very curious about this topic. I have a GTX 285 1 gb card, which, of course, is definitely not a new card. But when I change my graphics settings there is none to very little change in FPS. At least when I change texture quality.

 

Also, I'm very curious to know how much optimizations will help. Is the game horribly optimized as is, or is it okay, but needs a bit of tweaking?

 

I run: 0.30.113860

Towns is cpu Forrest's and scenery issue GPU, your sucks problem solved.

Could it really be that simply? I mean could you really just wrap it up as: "Bad FPS in towns? Get new CPU. Bad FPS in forests? Get new GPU?"

Sorry after you see the same question like 100 times the replies become downgraded.

Strangely i can run Arma II on all max (except AA), but this game just refuses to give me decent FPS. I also was playing loads of other graphically demanding games just fine.
