MichaeLK 16 Posted July 13, 2012 I wouldn't suggest playing THIS game on a laptop.unless your laptop has a graphics card like nvidia 4xx - 5xx plus....A decent 4-8 gbs ram.(ddr3)and at least an i3-i5.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darkeysk 0 Posted July 13, 2012 I am playin on:ASUS N55SFIntel® Core™ i5 2410M 2.3GHz4GB DDR3 1333MHz SDRAMNVIDIA® GeForce® GT 555M 2GB DDR3 VRAMAnd I play on low-normal settings with 20-30 fps, I am little bit dissapointed because of performance with this graphics, but what can I do? Do you think that upgrading to 8GB RAM will help me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FrankFisher 46 Posted July 13, 2012 I don't know but from what I heard you need to spend heaps just to get an average laptop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sudZ! 115 Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) I play this game on ultra with a laptop... but it's not a normal laptop.samsung series 7 gameri7 2670qmradeon 6970m8gb ram256gb SSDDarkey... more ram MAY help, but won't make a huge difference. THe biggest change may be in getting an SSD, but they're pricey. Overall the 555m is your issue though.I recently moved across the world and will be returning in a few years... hence, I didn't want a desktop.I found this laptop for $900 on ebay, Usually retails around $2000 now. Obviously would never have spent that muchYay ebay :) Edited July 13, 2012 by sudZ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MichaeLK 16 Posted July 13, 2012 what are 4xx?I mean nvidia graphics card version 400 and up....440,450,460(gt,glh,gtx)um basically I suggest avoiding a laptop if possible.Too expensive and not upgradeable equals not the best choice for gaming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dnoparker@gmail.com 3 Posted July 14, 2012 You have your DayZ files on RAMDisk? What is that? Never heard about it...(Im not Native speaker) :PApparently the game relies on your hard drive speed heavily (I don't know the details). So using a software called RAMDisk you can make a small partition in your hard drive and make the game load DayZ from it. The partition you create would have a lot faster processing speed than your main drive.I used this video Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dnoparker@gmail.com 3 Posted July 14, 2012 Ignore what I have said xD I just ran fraps alongside DayZ and it is saying anywhere between 15 - 25. I clearly don't know what I am talking about when it comes to PC games aha! It all looks the same to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jetao2008@hotmail.com 175 Posted July 14, 2012 My friend has an Alienware M14x and he was complaining about the performance while playing DayZ, even at low/normal graphics settings.I guess it must be rough playing on older laptops since a lot of PC players complain of the performance as well.

syncmaster (DayZ) 63 Posted July 14, 2012 Running it on:i7 2630QMgtx 560m8gb ramI actually think this game looks awesome on medium settings (720 res). I do get some slowdown when I zoom in, but the game runs pretty good. I've been able to max every other game I've tried on this laptop with 1080 res besides this and Skyrim.I think this is plenty of power but the HD is what is holding most back.. A SSD would probably help a lot, and is very nice to have anyway. Maybe that Ramdisk program will help, still haven't tried it out yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
