Insidious_void 2 Posted February 21, 2014 Hey guys. I just got the game and I cannot seem to play it at all. The average FPS I get when I exit a building or look around is between 9 and 20. It is simply unplayable. Here are my specs: NVidia GForce GTX570Odin PowerSupply 800W8Gb Ram 1600mhz Kingston DDR3AMD Athlon II x4 635 ( Quad core 2,9Ghz )GA-870A-UD3 I hope this is enough. Nothing is clocked. I even ran the "Can you run it" and it gave me something between minimum and recommended. I am worried on how my PC can't even get the game to the state where it is even playable. I'd understand having 30-40fps, but don't you think that 7-15 on average is a bit too low?Thanks for all the help. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Statik (DayZ) 2695 Posted February 21, 2014 It's your CPU. The game uses one core, not your entire CPU. It's bottle necking. Or each core just doesn't have the power to deliver the FPS you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Insidious_void 2 Posted February 21, 2014 So how can I change that? If the problem is in using more cores. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TedZ 424 Posted February 21, 2014 Quad Core isn't great, you should get an Eight core or an 10 Core. Try lowering some settings, that'd help a-bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Insidious_void 2 Posted February 21, 2014 I tried. Well.. Not everyone can get an 8 core processor. Anywho.. I did even try running it on the lowest settings and I get 20 fps at max. But I still think it's optimization partly, cause I can run BF4 and Metro Last Light on 50-60fps. I don't see why this couldn't be ran at that fps if you disable everything. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Insidious_void 2 Posted February 21, 2014 So I assume that the game will be optimized when or then to use more cores? I mean, would my rig be able to play it when or then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enforcer1975 1111 Posted February 21, 2014 Weak hardware is still weak hardware optimization or not....you will prolly gain a bit more but don't expect any wonders. You can't compare dayZ to BF or Metro because those only load sectors and not a whole map. And of course a lot also depends on the server you are playing on and this game is notorious for bringing down even a NASA pc when the scripts on the server are modified by an person who doesn't know what he does. You also have to consider those games are mostly staged for cinematic gameplay with lot's of special effects and fast blurry movement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Korsbaek 1778 Posted February 21, 2014 So how can I change that? If the problem is in using more cores. Buy a cheap second generation i3 and overclock the shit out of it. One of my friends had one run stable at just below 9 GHz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only other thing I can suggest that might help abit, is this guide: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/154330-possible-fps-enhancer/ It did help me on GFX side a the more output on the FPS big time. Also it goes over that you can tell DayZ to use the max CPU/RAM etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
