Have good graphics card.. not getting good fps

[Baker. 1484]

I'm confused how those videos prove anything?

You are right, Video evidence of people playing the game at acceptable frame-rates with his same cpu is defiantly irrelevant.

 

I've said and proven my case later skaters. ;) Lies i went no where

Oh well bye, shows your level of ignorance nicely.

 

Maybe 10 minutes ago you've forgotten your advice was he reduce his settings.. it must be because its such a good CPU. :)

There is really no reason to get upset over this, is there?

For what it is worth, his cpu is better than mine...

 

EDIT: But my cpu sucks and the game runs really choppy at times.

None of the cpu's in question are listed

the only cpu on this list we have discussed is the 3570k which is very close in performance to the cpu the op is using and in addition this benchmark refers to the arma 3 engine not the single threaded TOH engine from which DayZ is based.

Have you messed with your config yet?  Make a copy before you make changes.  Think default view is 3600m so droping it down may help alot, until you get the CPU upgrade.

 

Open the file named YourName (.DAYZPROFILE) located in C:\Users\Username\Documents\DayZ\ with the notepad. Now find the following lines:
sceneComplexity=# - set it to a value between 200000 and 50000 (other values are 1000000, 750000, 250000 but they require a high end cpu), it will draw less elements and reduce CPU load.
viewDistance=# - set it to a value between 1800 and 1200, it reduces the cpu and gpu load.
preferredObjectViewDistance=# - it decreases CPU load, set it to 1000 (or between 800 and 1600);
terrainGrid=# - Set it to one of these values: 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25, 3.125. Higher value = Better FPS, Lower value = lower fps but a better graphic quality. 25 or 12.5 for the best performance/quality ratio.
shadowZDistance=# - set it to a value between 100 and 200, reduces gpu and cpu load

And also that cpu is fine.

CPU is poop

CPU is poop

Any evidence to back this up? Will wait for your reply..

[Baker. 1484]

And a guy has a haswell i5 and a 750ti and y'all are recommending he spend money on a cpu? :facepalm:

Guy needs a 770 series GPU or higher, period.

If he has extra money by all means fire an i7 into that thing(after he gets a decent video card), but recommending he go from one haswell i5 to another haswell i5 for performance gain is silly.

Setting graphics settings to low can often just offload them to cpu instead of gpu and aggravate fps problems even more.  Anything that you can't turn off completely set to at least normal setting to make sure it isn't offloaded to cpu.   I'm not going to get into the cpu debate but http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/499/Intel_Core_i5_i5-3570K_vs_Intel_Core_i5_i5-4440.html  will very clearly show how little performance difference there is from a 3570k and a 4440 although it doesn't mention the potential for overclocking at all.  This all however is a moot point if OP is expecting to improve something enough that the game will run at a steady 60 fps all the time, never was it mentioned what his current framerates even are.  perhaps expectations are too high.

The engine isn't using much of the graphics card yet, so an upgrade there won't notably boost his FPS. He is however using the "S" version of the i5-4440, which is the energy saving version. The "normal" 4440 has 3.1GHz ( I'm using one myself along with a GTX750Ti and i'm fine with my frames ), so the others are right, Currently, the CPU is the bottleneck. But, I would not advise the OP to optimize his setup solely for DayZ. Optimizing your computer to run an unoptimized game better is money thrown out of the window as things will change over time. 

 

EDIT: SaveMeJebus gave a good tip here. If you have a rather weak CPU, try to set clouds and shadows to high. Some players increased their FPS by doing so because a higher setting will push the rendering to the GPU.

So you say your CPU is fine (the i5 4440) but the i5 4440s is completely unfit, because of 200mhz on the boost Correction: the Boost clock is identical in both CPUs 3.3ghz The performance difference is almost nonexistent, its 300 passmarks (margin of error range). 

 

So again lets make sure we remember that you say your CPU is just fine.....

No they arent :P
