speca 193 Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) So basically as the title says, i have poor FPS in SA. By poor i mean like 20 odd FPS when i'm in key areas such as Cherno, NW Airfield etc. However when i just run along in the open i get an average FPS of 80, the fps is only bad in SA, i've never experienced before. Another note, the FPS drops even more when i'm in buildings. Is there anyway to fix this? Would be much appreciated if anyone had any ideas :) Also i don't know if there has been previous topics in regards to this, i couldn't find anything under the search forum function however so i'd thought i would post this.

TedZ 424 Posted January 16, 2014 Maybe it's your internet connection, meanwhile my internet is quite low, i never get FPS drops, and i run the game on max settings. Try lowering some settings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boxxy (DayZ) 22 Posted January 16, 2014 I run SA at 120 Frames. I've heard the game is really CPU Intensive. Which I really don't have a problem with because I have a powerful CPU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got a i5 2500k, it should be fine. You have any suggestions for it? Maybe it's your internet connection, meanwhile my internet is quite low, i never get FPS drops, and i run the game on max settings. Try lowering some settings It could be the internet.. However i haven't toyed around with a bunch of the settings, don't know which ones to keep/lower. Still want the game to look semi-pretty. What's the best settings to lower?

It may just be optimization issues because while this is overused, it is Alpha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you have a link to any guides on how to improve my FPS on SA? I know there's a few for Arma 2 (Which i can run maxed out, with over 60 FPS). Haven't found any for SA yet.
