trying to boost performance

[AdrtySanchez 0]

I want to boost my cpu to run the game better but if I overclock to 10% I tend to get BSOD after awhile. I get 40-50 fps while running thru the woods,60-80 if I zoom in but it dips into the 20's randomly with no major change in scenery. 10-30 in cities and again seems kinda random,I'll hold 30 for a min or so then it drops hard.

 

 my current build is:

cpu- amd phenom II x6 1050t 2.8ghz (oc to 3.5 stable)

ram-8gb ddr3 sniper gskill 1866

vcard-geforce gtx 760 2gb

motherboard-m4a88t-m le

 

resolution 1920x1080(native)

video memory -auto

texture detail-high

filtering normal

objects-very low

terrain-low

clouds&shadows off

rendering-all disabled and hdr on low

FSAA=0;
postFX=0;
GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1;
GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1

 

sceneComplexity=150000;
shadowZDistance=100;
viewDistance=1600;
preferredObjectViewDistance=1600;

Only thing to say is the game is not optimized so getting good FPS is not likely. As some other people have said, even a super computer would play at low fps. As you know the game is in Alpha so it is bound to not be a perfect optimized game.

I know,was just curious if there was something I was missing that may help me squeeze a few more frames out or even stabilize them a bit more. if i could hold 30 most of the time that'd be great lol

The only thing that really helped me was setting dayz's affinity to 2 possessors rather than all four. I still only get 13/25 fps tho.

It's all about your CPU. Dayz sa is not optimized for AMD processers, yet. If you google your problem, you can easily reach many post about it.

My system and these settings appear to be working pretty darn good for me so far.
Getting Pretty darn good FPS out side of town..  In Towns i would say 20-30fps I've tried everything its like a roadblock.
Also.. CPU only gets maybe 60% utilized not matter what i change in the settings including Load distance ect.

Major client/server optimizations are currently being worked on most likely for the support of the increase of players and zombies alike.

Honestly, best thing to do, for in-game setting is put your settings ALL the way down, (including resolution. lowest you should need to go is 1280x720 in the User interface resolution.) and work your way up until it starts to run like shit, then back it up a little.
