DarkMario616 0 Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) i3 2120 @ 3.3ghz / 8gb ram / xfx radeon hd 6870http://www.reddit.co...w_fps_try_this/I've already tried everything mentioned in that link, and nothing. I still get 15-20 fps in cities, and everywhere else is 25-30 fps...very slow. It doesn't help when 5 zombies are chasing me and I'm running 15 FPS -_-Lowering settings has absolutely no effect.I just built this a month ago, there are no viruses, nothing wrong, nothing to defrag or clean. I get 60 FPS in most modern games and Day Z isn't even that pretty. Very demanding apparently but I shouldn't be getting this low of a framerate.

icomrade 201 Posted July 25, 2012 Well the rest of your hardware is fairly important. If you have an OEM pc then that would explain why you have poor fps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkMario616 0 Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) No I built it. But it shouldn't matter what my PSU (430watt) or motherboard is. If I can get 60 FPS in Max Payne 3 (high) and GW2 (high/max) I shouldn't be getting 15 FPS in this game. There's something very wrong with the settings or latest patch.

Jimmy James 18 Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) It definitely is a demanding game. Which settings are you lowering? Try disabling AA, shadows, and dropping visibility.BTW I believe Radeon recommends 500W minimum for that graphics card. Skimping on the PSU can lead to all sorts of issues. You mentioned latest patch in one of your posts... was your framerate better with previous patches on the same build?

DarkMario616 0 Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) Yeah it was better before the patch yesterday.I know 500 is recommended but 430's been good for me. :P Been recommended by the few.Joined a server, getting about 30 fps now. Normal settings with things like AA and shadows disabled. Still annoying but better than 10 lol. Edited July 26, 2012 by DarkMario616 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkMario616 0 Posted July 26, 2012 Alright it's been better so far. Lowest was about 22-25 in towns, otherwise its about 40 in woods, and 50s around the ocean line.Meh. Should be better, maybe it'll be fixed in the future. Any reasons why the latest patch MIGHT have broke it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
