GTX 970 issues with DayZ

[oscar2603 0]

Hi guys,

 

I've got a problem with the Standalone with fps. When I originally started playing this game, I was using a HD7850 2GB card and was getting around 30fps in cities and around 50-60 in the countryside. My settings were pretty much 100% resolution but low on pretty much all other settings. However, I upgraded to a Strix GTX 970 and I've actually lost performance. I can run 100% resolution but if I turn settings to around Medium, I'm getting much lower fps (25fps in Balota town / 50fps in countryside).

 

I've got 8GB of RAM and a i5-3570k processor. I don't think there's actually a problem but I can see other people with almost identical settings as me with much higher fps. Is there a guide out there with settings for strictly GTX 970's? Or would anyone help me out. I want the game to look as good as possible with the least amount of FPS hit.

 

Thank you

video card doesnt make the difference.

 

however try googling dayz launch parameters, or lookup my thread.

 

are you sure their "identical setup" is identical? no overclocks etc?

 

basically you need 4.0ghz + to get a decent play

(20 fps in cities is not horrible...lol, remember this game struggles on the best of the best systems, its the nature of the game and how much is going on)

(you can see 20 fps in citites but then amazing fps in the forest, its the way she goes.)

 

you can set your render to 150% and it wont effect ur fps, thanks to ur graphics card. and play around with the AA and AF to your liking

AO off and post process off

 

there is no magic

 

also try your user profile and change max frames to 1 and detected frames to 1, but this didnt change anything for me. infact i put mine back to default, as the gtx 970 should handle it no problem

 

for comparison sake, my fps @ 4.3 ghz OC was 25-30 in cities and  60-90 outside of cities

but at 4.6 ghz overclock, cities are now at ~40 fps and forests about 60-110 fps

 

but i have 6 core x99, but theoretically the game wont use more than 4 core anyways.

 

i just read ur fps, thats normal dude, consider yourself oen of the lucky ones.

 

only chance for you is the overclock to like 4.5 ghz and you will be happier, but i still see 25fps dips once and a while in a big zombie infested/firefight

 

all settings on ultra, render to 150%

Ah ok, thanks for the detailed reply!  :)

 

Hopefully I'll get to the kind of quality/performance ration that I like.

 

Thanks again!

whats your processor speed?

thats the biggest bottleneck in arma3/dayz

Stock which is 3.4Ghz. I'm worried about OCing because my PSU is only 600W.

Gtx 970 doesn't use much power so you'll do fine oc'ing. I oc'ed my 4770k to 4.6ghz on 650 psu and my gpu uses alot more power  :P

Ok, I'll look into it. Probably won't do something as asswhooping like 4.6 but maybe 4 to start and go from there. 

 

Thanks again guys!
