Why am i lagging in Dayz?

[iR0bertson 0]

Computer specs:

i7 4790 CPU @ 3.60ghz
16gbs of Ram
NVIDIA Geforce 770 Graphics card
H97-D3H Motherboard
128GB SSD
Windows 7 Home Premium

All of my drivers are updated.

Why am i lagging in dayz still? I was sure i'd be able to run the game smooth on at least normal settings, but i still get lag on low settings.

All of my settings are set to low, i have good internet (good enough to stream from twitch) i don't understand why i'm still lagging. I've seen people with worse computer specs and able to run the game smoothly on normal/low settings.

Would it help if i posted pictures of what my in-game resolution settings are?

My friend has lags on low settings and a lot less on mid/high so just try different options mby it will work for you

Make sure you are running your resolution at the same mark as your moniter.

Are you sure its not server lag? Dont confuse lag with low settings. Show us how many FPS you have. Install fraps or so to see fps

Lag isnt the same as fps drop/low fps.. lol.

Here are some tweaks in order to improve the latter one: http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dayz.gamepedia.com/thumb/4/46/VideoSettingsGuide.jpg/600px-VideoSettingsGuide.jpg?version=8562664866efe829114b66500f534682
