Lagging on a Good pc

[kierpok 0]

Hi guys I just got dayz on my new pc, I spend 600 Pounds on the pc hoping this will be enough to run the game..

After the install I run the game to check it out and all I have is lags in towns,forests and countrysides..

 

I  added more ram, Did not  work.

 

Reinstall, Did not work.

 

Can any one of you help me And tell me what too DO!?.

Dayz is very CPU intensive right now, so that's your bottleneck.

If your GPU and CPU are decent enough for gaming and still having issues, get SSD and install DayZ on SSD. Nothing else more to do than just wait for performance optimization.

My personal opinion, you should've researched dayz more and its requirements, and you should of looked at your computer a bit more before buying it. Just because the computer is expensive does NOT mean it will play games good. It might actually be the total opposite. The hard truth is, either get a new computer, or don't play dayz. When you look at the computer you are buying, my opinion is get a one with a NVidia G-force driver, and 10+ GB of ram. computers that carry this, always have the right specs for everything else in the computer, just bu a computer with a NVidia G Force driver pre-built into it, with 10+ GB of ram, and everything else tends to fall into place. My computer (NVidia Gforce) has 16 GB of ram, and every game I get (even dayz) I can play on the HIGHEST settings, (practically any settings I want to) and I will experience NOO lag..

that isn't exactly true. CPU plays a big role in it.

 

I used to have a core quad 9550 (2.8GHz) and a geforce 660 2GB with 8GB ram and it had trouble in towns and any area with a lot of activity in dayz.

 

Now i have an i7 4970K (4.4Ghz) with a geforce gtx970 4GB and 8GB ram and i play on ultra settings at 1080p with 60+frames per second in even the busiest of areas.

 

Before my gtx 970 came in from newegg i ran the 660 with my I7 and it was also running very well at max rez.

 

 

conclusion Geforce 660 or higher with a i5 or i7 with 8Gb of DDR3 ram is more than enough.

 

 

if you PC has integrated graphics (on board) you will have serious issues playing this game

I said, if you get a computer with a good (gaming) graphics card (Nvidia GForce) They almost ALWAYS come with good motherboards, cpus, PSUs, and everything else for gaming. So nothing I said "isn't true" because I already stated correctly what you said "wasn't true"

This game relies alot on fast single threaded performance. My fps boosted from 40 to 60 average in cities when i overclocked my 4770k to 4.6ghz from stock speed. But still, it's pretty insane to have such overclocked cpu to get 60fps.

I started this game with q9550, the same as BubbaJones. I did had problems in cities. My friend has haswell i5 without oc. and he has around 40-50 fps in cities.

Also tested with 6 cores intel 5820k and the performance is even worse then my 4770k "Lower ghz from OC" as i suspect the game is not properly multithreaded but can only use 1-2 cores for the main engine thread.

my spec in sig, not so special at all, runs it more than fine. I'm not a max fps whore though, if it looks good and plays well it's good enough for me without willy waving fps count.

I'm the same with most games now, I go for quality settings over performance. This isn't 1.3 counterstrike where you want max possible fps over anything.

[wooly-back-jack 294]

also OP, just what is your spec?

mmhmm :)
