I have an issue with my DayZ. Before when I was playing with older GPU so my DayZ was kinda laggy but it was playable.Now, when I put new GPU into PC so DayZ keeps running on 30-40FPS fluently but after 10minutes my FPS fell down to 2-3FPS and game is almost imposible to play.I've read many forums with hints and tips how to increase FPS how to set paging files but eventhough problem is still same.Textures in that moment became fuzzy and when I enter house so I don't see any wall and stuff. It doesn't matter if I am in that moment in city or running through the field. It would be nice if you will find some solution for me, cause I'm so lost and sad that I can't play DayZ with my friends fluently. PC case is clear so there isn't any kind of dust or something. And with SpeedFan I see that GPU has 30°-35° and CPU has 60°max.I am already thinking about upgrading my PC dont worry.I just wonder why with that older GPU it was OK and now it isn't. Thank you, Exyn Edited September 15, 2015 by Exynekk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you, ExynI suspect its the low amount of ram, I've been told there is a bit of memory leak in this buggar and 4 GB is low low low. Also, 32bit or 64bit os?

Hey there ! I have same feeling that it might be cause of RAM but.. When I launch the game a check how is RAM going through Ctrl + Alt + Del -> Performance, so there is almost 30% free RAM space.Anyway I have Win 7 Ultimate 32bit Edited September 15, 2015 by Exynekk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So when i will get for example 2GB more of RAM will it even works or not ? :-O Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry to hijack this thread but I have a question. You can see my system specs in my signature. Would I have a performance boost if I upgraded to 16 GB RAM?

Baker. 1484 Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) So when i will get for example 2GB more of RAM will it even works or not ? :-OI think the solution is to upgrade to a 64 bit os, the 32 bit option ms offers is strictly for comparability with legacy systems. If you are trying to run a gaming rig, 64bit is a critical upgrade. The 4GB limit refers to total addressable memory space and not just the RAM installed. It's a total made up of system RAM, graphics RAM, PCI memory range, ACPI and a few other bits and pieces. And if you think that your system RAM is the only significant factor, think again. You can buy graphics cards fitted with 1GB of RAM, and if you wanted (and had the spare cash!) you could fit three of these into a system. There's not a 1 to 1 relationship between graphics memeory consuming system RAM, but the larger the memory, the more the card sets aside for itself.

Exynekk 1 Posted September 15, 2015 No, you need a 64 bit OS. As said, 32 bit OS can not handle more than 4 GB of RAM, adding more would be futile. I think last question is.. Will my PC be able to work with 64bit Windows ? Cause I remember that PC was made for Vista 32bit and now I have Win7 32bit.. so if there will be any difficulty to instal 64bit or not.. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baker. 1484 Posted September 15, 2015 Dual channel.I cant see you seeing much benefit in dayz, but it can't hurt, ram is cheap and other modern titles (reads ark) are a lot more ram hungry. Testing alpha software also exposes you things like memory leak and other nasty bugs that you may be shielded from if you have the extra headroom.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Testing alpha software also exposes you things like memory leak and other nasty bugs that you may be shielded from if you have the extra headroom....I think I won't do it then. I would mean I need 2 new modules and have to throw away the rest (or go to 20 GB if I can find compatible modules, I now have 4x2 GB modules) I never seem to use more than 50% of my RAM in DAYZ and ARK ( I have the free steam download from a few weeks ago) seems to not be my thing, but didn't gave it enough chance yet maybe. I just like realism more than fantasy.Thanks! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exynekk 1 Posted September 15, 2015 Okay guys.. So advice is.. Reinstall my Win7 to 64bit version and get atleast 2GB more on RAM.. Am i right ? :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baker. 1484 Posted September 15, 2015 It's up there - ASUS P5KPL-AMthe CPU determines 64bit compatibility also further snippits: "The consumption of memory addresses below 4GB can be drastic on high-end gaming systems with large video cards. For example, I purchased one from a boutique gaming rig company that came with 4GB of RAM and two 1GB video cards. I hadn't specified the OS version and assumed that they'd put 64-bit Vista on it, but it came with the 32-bit version and as a result only 2.2GB of the memory was accessible by Windows. You can see a giant memory hole from 8FEF0000 to FFFFFFFF in this Meminfo output from the system after I installed 64-bit Windows." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly i wouldnt spend anymore money on that platform. Save up and get into a modern ddr3 or ddr4 option. Your CPU must be starting to show its age. you could get spend 280 dollars and get into something like this http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/XmC6WZand it only gets better the more money you spend EDIT Canadian Dollars, USD would be much cheaper if thats where you are...
