Post your System Spec and Graphic Settings

[Zero2k 4]

Hello everyone

 

im currently running DayZ SA on decent graphic settings with around 60FPS which is actually pretty good. The thing is i would like to run it on high settings with 60FPS but i get roughly 45FPS. Here are my specs:

 

Intel Core i5-3570k@ 4.2GHz

16GB Corsair Vengeance @1600MhZ

EVGA Geforce GTX 666 OC 2GB

Gigabyte Z77-D3H

Intel 520Series SSD (Dayz is on this Drive)

 

Anyone got a suggestion ? Which settings do u guys have ?

 

Thanks in advance

Damn you to hell, I want one of those!

My suggestion? Wait and see what how it goes after a few patches. I would now invest nothing.

Currently running MAX settings with this, cost me 450£ (I run it max everything, max Resolution etc)

Case : Zalman Mini T3 Black

Power Supply : Branded X-Viper 750 Watt 80+ Bronze Editon Active PFC

Motherboard : Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3

CPU : AMD FX 8350 Eight Core CPU (turbo 4.2Ghz)

Hard Drive : 120gb Solid State Drive

Memory : 4gb DDR3 1600mhz Corsair Vengeance Memory

Graphics Card : ATI 7770 1gb

Here's mine:

i7 4930k @ 4.2GHz
16GB PC-2400 RAM
GTX 780 OC
Win7 x64 pro
750w platinum PS
250GB SSD (for OS and game installs)
4TB Hard Drive (for media/data storage)

This build cost $1800US and is worth every penny

Also running max settings and getting 40-60fps

Also running with all settings on Ultra with virtually no frame drops (not sure what im running at though), looks absoultey beautiful. Hey! We have a similar scheme for our systems lol.

 

Case: CoolerMaster HAF912

PSU: Corsair CX500M 500W

MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3

CPU: AMD FX-6300 "Six" Core CPU (4.1GHz Turbo)

Hard Drive: 150gb Hitachi (OS) - 500gb Seagate Baracuda (Programs/Files/Games)

Memory (RAM) - 8gb DDR3 1866mhz Mushkin Enhanced Redline

Graphics Card (GPU) - HIS IceQ AMD HD7870 GHz Edition (2gb)

 

Cost: Roughly $660US (I already had the hard drives)

Also, if you're running with an AMD processor, you're already crippled out of the gate. This game is pretty processor intensive (the way the engine offloads to the CPU) so just keep in mind that:

4Ghz AMD quad =/= 4Ghz Intel quad

In reality:
AMD FX 6300 6-core @ 3.5Ghz ==== i5-4670T 4-core @ 3.3Ghz
Intel has lower clock speed and fewer cores, but both perform the same in benchmarks

You'll definitely see higher clock speeds on AMD, but benchmarks will show hands down that Intel handles data better. Why is that?

Think of it like a dam, and the river is your data. An AMD dam will have 6 spillways to let the water through and an Intel dam will have 13. Your clock speed is how fast that water can go through the dam and reach the other side. Now, even though AMD will be pushing that water through at higher pressures, overall it will still be moving less water than the Intel dam because of sheer volume.

This is a very basic analogy of data pipelines but principle is the same. AMD chips are more cheaply built and can handle higher clock speeds because the amount of data flowing is smaller. They know consumers get starstruck with 5Ghz out of the box numbers but benchmarks show that a 5Ghz 6-core AMD performs the same as a 4Ghz quad-core Intel.

So keep in mind, if you have AMD or ATI graphics card (built on AMD chipsets) then you are at a disadvantage from the beginning. If you don't believe me, benchmark your CPU/GPU and compare it to other chips at http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html


TL;DR - AMD is like a race horse with only 3 legs

I feel like this was directed towards me and Ted xD

 

Sure your analogy is all fine and dandy, but Price vs. Performance. AMD will win every time. Dont buy Intel JUST to play this game. And im not saying I disagre, Im sure Intel can handle more and is great for video editing, graphic design and other things that require alot of CPU power. But for gaming, DayZ being a slight exception. An AMD at a cheaper price will do outstanding for you.

Bequiet 530W

Inno3D GTX 780 iChill Ultra

16GB GEIL Ram

 

I get shitty 60-70 FPS at max, in big towns 15-20, in small towns 25-30. On Medium-High settings. I really don't know why I have a 1500$ Rig but cant play this shit game properly.

Intel core i5-3570k (3,40ghz)

Everything on low/disabled 20 fps in cherno :O, 70+ in forest

Not directed at you, just used you as an example (hope you don't mind) for all AMD users. Yes if you are on a budget, AMD will get you more bang for your buck. However if price is no object then intel will win hands down. The absolute best AMD chip (FX-9590 8-core 5Ghz) ranks pretty much exactly the same as an i7-4770k 4-core 3.5Ghz. And the kicker is both of them cost the same (roughly $330)

I'm not saying buy Intel specifically for this game, just understand that you get what you pay for. Lower price=lower performance. I see all these kids posting with AMD chips and don't understand why they get 15fps in towns on mid-range settings.

Dell 7010 SFF (hand me down computer)

i7 3770 @3.40GHz

16GB DDR3 @ 1600MHz

i added the best card i could find that would fit in this case which was low profile Saphire HD7750 1GB DDR5

250GB HDD

 

game runs decent but not where i'd like it to be.  below is what i found works best for my system.  this game is strange as if i turn everything down low, it runs worse!  i'm getting on average 40-50 fps in main Cherno and other towns but those damn apartment buildings bog it down to 25-30.  in the open its close to 60.

 

Vsync ENABLED

Textures are all on AUTO and VERY HIGH

Object, Terrain, Clouds, and Shadows are all on VERY LOW

as for rendering i have antialaising DISABLED, edge smoothing SMAA HIGH, hdr quality VERY LOW, ambient occlusion DISABLED, post process LOW

Everything is maxed out except the postprocess crap.

 

60FPS locked outside of cities. Drops to 45 in cities. CPU and GPU never go above 50*C when playing (but my computer does keep my room a toasty 15*F warmer than the rest of the house!!)
