Graphics issues! Please help...

[ungarelli 0]

I am having issues running the Day Z mod smoothly. I can run almost any game I play on the highest graphic settings. I play WoW, Starcraft II, League of Legends, and more all on the highest graphic setting and it runs smooth as dairy(it sounded right at the moment). I have fiddled with the graphic setting numerous times, and even on Low and a much reduced resolution I am still getting lag. What should I do? Is there something I am doing wrong? Please help, thank you.

Change server.

Um...those games graphic needs in comparison to Arma 2 are nothing. You will kill your pc if you try playing on ultra everything on this game without a $2500+ gaming PC. I have a GTX 680 and can play on highest, but will not because it puts a horrible load on your GPU.

DO research on your specs and needed specs before doing this, or youll need a new pc real soon.

I have a Dell XPS 17 L702X. Processor is Intel® Core i7-2630QMQM CPU @ 2.00GHz. RAM is 8 GB. System type: 64-bit Operating System. I believe my graphics card is the Nvidia GeForce GT 550. It's a laptop.

The processor is your problem. Im not sure why you would expect arma 2 to run well on a 2.00ghz.

It might just be the server. I can run Ultra in WoW but I tend to run Normal in DayZ even if the ping is very low just in case. Try checking your ping regularly by pressing J assuming you haven't changed the default settings. Then scroll down to your player. It should show the ping and maybe explain your problem.

Is there a way to upgrade a processor on a laptop?

Also, DayZ just doesn't run as smooth as the normal game. I can get 90+ in Arma but only 20-30 in Dayz.
