Performance optimization

[jaywils91 1]

Hello people,

 

I am sitting here looking at overclockers, and acan and contemplating buying a bew graphics card, and to be honest, it's mostly because of my DayZ experience.

 

My current specs are

 

 

16GB ram

i7 3770k

GT640 (i know this is rubbish - looking at 770's or 680ti)

Windows 8

350w PS  (i intend to get a 600/650).

 

 

But back to my question, and why I am here.

 

How much optimization can actually be done to this game, the way i look at it, my current spec can run BF4 pretty well and the game looks good as well, I get a good frame rate even when the buildings are falling down around me and a kazillion grenades are going off.

 

I'd also like to point out I am not complaining, just interested.

 

So for all you geniuses, please fill me with knowledge :)

 

 

Many thanks.

Im thinkin your rig should be able to handle the game when it is released (2015)

 

but yeah GPU could do with a upgrade and you will definitely need a bigger psu

My computer is half of your's and I get 60 FPS constant. Everything on low. Drops in Cherno to 40 FPS.

 

Even with the best setup you will have problems on super high settings, especially with clouds + shadow on.

[jaywils91 1]

I do have everything on low, but this brings in another annoyance.

 

I definitely do not get 60fps at all. How would you check this?

 

Maybe I actually have a a problem with my pc....

[TimM1983 57]

I check this with FRAPS. What is your rendering resolution ?

[jaywils91 1]

1440x900 or 100% as the game calls it.

 

I've noticed this doesn't make much of a difference to my fps though.

[csharp 47]

Your PSU is just the minimum for the GPU, which is pretty bad.

[jaywils91 1]

Yeh, its all stock atm. I got the PC and a monitor(ulta slim AOC, LED, 50mil:1 DCR), turtle beach headset and the peripherals for £700.

 

So not a bad buy imo, which isn't worth much.

...do you want to send me your GPU when you're done with it? :)

 

Anyway: A lot.

 

Optimization, now, is focused on getting more efficient means of handling zombies/map changes (like doors opening/closing)/loot management. Later on? I don't know what's planned.

I'm running this exact setup with the exception of power supply and gpu. I have a GTX 770 and a 1200W powersupply. Right now with most settings on low I maybe get a whopping 20-40 FPS in the larger cities and probably 60's+ in the open land.

When i get a new GPU, my old one is yours. Wont be until i get back from sea though (i'm a marine engineer).

How is 20fps? I mean does it stagger?

 

Does the PSU need the be that big?!!

If I can fit it in my laptop...

[-DMG-Jonesy 226]

I'm running a i5 3570k, 8gigs of ram, and a GTX760.

 

Generally, my frames are up in the 40+ range.

 

Sometimes they drop into the low 30s.  

[soulfirez 901]

i hope for lots of optimisation but i honestly dont expect much to be done in this field realisticly. I have been playing arma for a little over 8 years now and one of the biggest cries every release is optimisation of the RV engine and well very little has actually been done in the field( still hope they will dont get me wrong)

 

Its a detailed engine and it is hit and miss on performance with it some guys with lesser rigs get better fps than me some with better rigs get worse fps than me.

 

Haswell 4770 @4.5 ghz 16 gig ram 1 gtx titan settings mostly very high (clouds disabled as they dont lower my fps but the do seem to cause me sudden fps spikes) frames i get 30 to 35 in cities and up to 80 in wilderness just clicking to change everything to lowest possible setting fps in cities 35 to 40 fps in woods 90 or so

 

( settings can be a pain in the RV engine sometimes setting things higher gains you fps as well it will take it from being cpu controlled(rendering) to putting it on your GPU so all i can say is spend alot of time in settings while having fps displayed (be it with fraps or game booster what ever you have that measures fps) and adjust them all watching your fps and go with the best settings you can get for yourself in visuals while holding a decnt fps.

PS. 350W PS?? Even I have 600w

where are all the videos of people getting 60 fps on dayz?

What he means is "My computer is exactly like yours and I haven't checked my FPS but I'm guessing I have 60 FPS (40 in reality) and in Cherno 40 (15 in reality)."

im serious...

 

I keep hearing

 

"its an alpha"

"its a ddos"

"its the holidays"

"I get 60 fps, on a Pentium 3"

 

but seriously, has anyone seen any 60 fps other then looking at the ground?

I'm serious aswell. But yes, I get 60 FPS in the wild. Not in a city tho.

Intel Core I5 3570K, SSD disk, 16 GB ram, crossfire R9 290 4gb.

really?

 

60s looking up at the sky?

I can hit 60 in the wilderness. I don't even come close to that in cities, more like 20-30 there. But yes, in the wilderness I average at around 60. Looking at the sky I cap around 120 :P
