SpecFour 12 Posted July 19, 2012 Download ARMA II Free and see how it runs. I'm not sure DayZ adds much overhead, if any.http://www.arma2.com/free/I run on an Intel Q9450 (quad at 2.6ghz, but oc'd to 3ghz) with a GTX 260 and 4gig. I run it at whatever graphics options it installed at, and it runs fine. It think yours will run, but some people get funy FPS even with i7 cpus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simjedi 43 Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) Core2 Duo, doubtful as ArmA is heavily CPU dependent. Don't know about the GPU as I'll take NVIDIA any day, but make sure it has 2gig on it.You shouldn't be building a PC based on ArmA 2 because it's coming to an end and DayZ will soon be running off of ArmA 3's engine. So build for it instead. Edited July 19, 2012 by SIMJEDI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDude8D 13 Posted July 19, 2012 I need a yes or no answer. Will this run DayZ on low-lowest setting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDude8D 13 Posted July 19, 2012 Possibly.. Is that a yes or no? I mean I'm just wanting to play this to the lowest point to where I can read the words on the screen. Visibility low. Can I run this or not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KField86 237 Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) If you're not running at full viability you're missing out.Visibility is set server side. Whether you have it set to 3000 or 12000 in your game client doesn't matter since the server is what makes the decision as to how far you'll see. Try it if you don't believe me.OP: The game will probably run, but be pretty much unplayable. You may get playable frame-rates at the absolute lowest settings, and at a very low resolution but would you even enjoy the game with that kind of limitation? To be honest with you, the only thing you can do is try Arma II free, but even that is not a good bench mark because I get more frames in Arma II CO than I do in DayZ so your mileage will vary. Having to deal with already glitchy zombies at the kind of frame-rate you'd see with that machine would be adding insult to injury. This game uses much more CPU power than it does GPU, and surprisingly your HDD makes a big difference as well. I run an i7 2600K that's overclocked, and my cpu load is extremely high, while my gpu load is like half of that. Though I haven't monitored it while playing in sometime now.No one will know for sure if the game will run or not because we don't have your specifications. The game could launch fine, but freeze up once in game. Or, the game could play at 5 frames per second, which when coupled with the zombies, is unplayable. Loading into the game doesn't necessarily mean it's playable. That's why no one can give you a definitive answer. Edited July 19, 2012 by KField86 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElRolle 97 Posted July 19, 2012 lolITT: people who have no idea about PCs and think that VRAM is a measure of GPUs speed.OP: Yes, it will run just fine on low/medium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
