zkijt 1 Posted October 26, 2014 Hi, I got this game yesterday and was running it smoothly on my laptop with 1920x1080x32 and 100% rendering resolution. All other settings were on normal. However when i played the game today i experienced severe fps delay with a max 5fps on these same settings lol. The only thing that has changed since that I can think of is that I activated and installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on my laptop. I have uninstalled and reinstalled DayZ with no change in result. I have tried all the suggestions in other posts to increase FPS with to no avail either. Processor: Intel® Core i7-4710MQ CPU @ 2.50GHz 2.50GHz8.00GB RAMNVIDIA GeForce GTX 850MI also have a Crucial M500 240GB SSD if that is relevant at all. Apologies in advance as I am a noob. Thankyou for your help and advice guys. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mos1ey 6301 Posted October 27, 2014 Alright thanks ill do that. How do I check if it is using the dedicated graphics card rather than the other one?Thanks It would more than likely be somewhere in Nvidia control panel. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
