cianstaic@yahoo.co.uk 9 Posted July 29, 2014 Just curious as it's running pretty chunky atm for me and I'm considering getting a better PC. My specs: GeForce GT 555MIntel Core i5-2430M @2.40GHz8GB RAM1600 x 900, 60Hz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d.walker43 196 Posted July 29, 2014 Well, to answer your question, yes, it will get better once we hit beta or even before as more optimization is made. That computer shouldn't be running it chunky though. I run it on med-high settings on my $400 laptop fine. Its specs areCPU: Intel core i3 4010U 1.7GhzGPU: Intel HD 4400RAM: 6 GBScreen: 1366x768 Try messing with your settings a bit. disable things such as anti-aliasing. Turn motion blur very low, but not off. Set your rendering resolution to your screens maximum, (for me it would be 1366x768, idk about yours.) Also put normal resolution at anywhere from 100% to 150%. Set objects, terrain etc. at medium or high. This helped mine and I can run it at 40-50 fps with med-high settings with the above specs.

soulfirez 901 Posted July 29, 2014 Just curious as it's running pretty chunky atm for me and I'm considering getting a better PC. My specs: GeForce GT 555MIntel Core i5-2430M @2.40GHz8GB RAM1600 x 900, 60Hzwill it get better sure they will do some optimizing later in the development cycle will it get alot better probably not as i am figuring any performance they gain they will use to put more zrds in etc. Any RV engine game is going to be tough to play on a laptop/notebook your cpu will barely handle it and your not packing alot in the gpu stakes either. Can you play this game well on a laptop sure with big dollars in it its really the sort of title ment to be played on a mid range or better desktop. Your decision can you handle low frames and low settings cause with a 2.4 ghz cpu i cant imagine you doing much better sorry.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stranger things have happened in life but do you mind posting your dxdiag and a scrreenshot of dayz with the fps being displayed in the corner because it sounds like a miracle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death By Crowbar 1213 Posted July 29, 2014 Your graphics card looks under powered, way under powered. I'd wager that's your whole problem.Here's you: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=GeForce+GT+555MHere's me: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=GeForce+GTX+650+TiI paid $95 for mine, so mine is still low to middle-low end.

Really?! Wtf... I've messed with my settings so much lol. Everything is disabled and 20 FPS in a city is amazing for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 650ti is pretty good bang for buck i prefer the 750tibut it is 50% more expensive and only about 20% better( the good old law of diminishing returns) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cianstaic@yahoo.co.uk 9 Posted July 29, 2014 I have an Intel i5 2430 @2.4Ghz. In the wild and small towns, I'd get 20-25fps and in the cities, 10-15 usually. I'm thinking a new PC must be necessary. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm thinking a new PC must be necessary.The i5 is fine imo. I have i5-3570K @ 3.4GHz. You could run perfmon while playing to see how your CPU is performing (or just run dual screen and have task manager off on the right side). Any i5 should be fine, but your graphics card is definitely very low end. You can see how you roughly rank here. Also make sure your antivirus isn't undermining you.

Your cpu is alot more powerfull than his specially in single core performance dont forget RV engine games are very hard on the cpu requiring it for many of the calculations and even yes alot of the graphics rendering is done on the cpu not gpu (like the grass and if you set your shadows below high it stops using the gpu to render them and uses cpu . But yes his GPU is under powered aswell. But the cpu he has does not meet recomended requirements and does scrap over the minimum though so i wouldnt say its fine not fine at all... mid lvl desktop yours mid lvl laptop his big diference.... uhh...how do I post the screenshots? I took them both and have them but cant figure out how to upload them. you need to upload them to photobucket or any other hosting sight copy the url and paste it in the little box that comes up when you click in a thread to put a picture..

King Raptor 191 Posted July 29, 2014 Really?! Wtf... I've messed with my settings so much lol. Everything is disabled and 20 FPS in a city is amazing for me. It seems highly unlikely he is running everything at med/high because once you set certain things to high/med the videocard takes over from the CPU and the guy does not have much in the way of a videocard ...Unless, of course, is running one of those dual videochip laptops. Your cpu is alot more powerfull than his specially in single core performance dont forget RV engine games are very hard on the cpu requiring it for many of the calculations and even yes alot of the graphics rendering is done on the cpu not gpu (like the grass and if you set your shadows below high it stops using the gpu to render them and uses cpu . Do you know exactly which settings revert to CPU when lowered beyond a certain level?I really -wish- someone at Bohemia had the smarts to just include a (CPU) and (GPU) behind the settings but noooo, they'd rather have you run a terribly unoptimized game .. Friggin' ridiculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I took a screenshot in Balota and I was getting 44 fps shown by FRAPS in the pic. I also had the screenshot from one of my antivirus/cleaning tools which shows my system specs, which are exactly what I said earlier. Sorry I cant show proof, but im not trolling.
