Severe FPS problems

[chunkeymonkey79 86]

First post in a while!

 

Anyway, I've been having some pretty severe FPS problems lately. Don't know if it's just optimization issues or what, but i've been averaging 30fps in the wilderness, and 15-20 in cities.

 

Relevant Specs:

 

i5-3570k @ 3.4 ghz

2x GeForce GTX 660 (sli)

8GB RAM

 

My friends have usually been getting around 40-50 fps with their settings on medium. I even put everything on very low and I'm still only averaging 20fps in cities. No idea why, my FPS is 60+ in all my other games.

 

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Same FPS problems, I think its because the games not to optimized yet.

Hardly severe. Some people are fine with 15-20. But to the point. 

Have you tried changing GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=(Value Shown) the value at the end of this line to 1?

Do the same with the value at the end of GPU_MaxFramesAhead=(Value)

Nope, Windows 7 x64 bit

 

 

Yeah, already tried that fix, didn't work.

Lmao, that's so weird, I have a crappier system than yours and I get 30 FPS min on cities and 70 on average on High/Mid settings on 40/40 servers.

AMD 965 Black Edition
1 EVGA GTX 660
Windows 7 x64
8GB RAM

P.S.: Re-install the graphics driver, with clean installation. That usually fixes some of GTX with DayZ's problem.

Damn. If I find any more FPS boosting tips I'll get back to you. Also try updating your drivers and closing all CPU-hungry programs before starting the game. Also go to control panel, security, and set your battery options to boost performance but guzzle charge faster

Yeah, the thing was: when I first installed it ran perfectly, and the performance has degraded over time. Idk why.

The answer is: Alpha.. (I hope)

My specs:

i7-4930k @ 5.1GHz (watercooled)

32GB ddr3 @ 2133MHz

r9 290x @ 1140MHz core / 6000MHz memory

Dayz/OS installed on a 240GB Corsair Force GT SSD.

 

Settings: 

1080p

Vsync: Off

Tex Details/Filering: Very High

Objects/Terrain/Clouds: Very High

Shadows: Low

Antialiasing: Disabled

Alpha to Coverage: Disabled

Edge Smoothing: Disabled

HDR Quality: Very Low

Ambient Occlusion: Enabled

Post Process Quality: High

Bloom: Minimum

Rotation Blur: Minimum

 

CFG specific Changes:

preferredObjectViewDistance=1000

GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1;

GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1;

 

Launch Options:

-CpuCount=6 -ExThread=11 -maxVRAM=4095 -maxMem=32768

 

Top out @ 45fps in the wilderness, 30ish in cities, in the 20's with weapon out running around with other people.

 

I Know dropping shadows to off and disabling ambient occlusion nets me another ~10 fps, but the loss in detail is simply not worth it - and the pc should be more than capable of handing the game with most of the intensive settings low/disabled.

 

And I realize that some people would consider that (more than) playable, but I fear for mid range pc performance as more features are implemented (player crafting, wildlife, increased Z spawns, vehicles, more loot spawns, potentially enhanced weather effects etc). These will all have negative impacts on performance. Without some serious optimizations, I'm unsure if dayz will be playable for the majority.
