Computer won't run anywhere near full load

[chengysogood 0]

Got a new comp and my fps is worse than my old one. I did a lot of researching on optimizing arma 2 and dayz in general, but I have since lost all of my settings with both nvidia config and arma2/dayz.

Long story short my rig only runs the CPU to about 25% load and the GPU's are only running at around 30-40% load.

Could you actually provide us with the specs for your new pc? And the FPS you are getting

i'm thinking you need to add a -cpuCount as a startup parameter.

if your cpu is some 3+ ghrz quad core then it is normal for it to be at low load. I run dayz on a quad core 3.3 and it never goes higher than 30-40%. You are experiencing the benefits of a strong pc. As for your fps issues please give us more details.

My old pc

Processor: Intel Core i7 980x 4.4Ghz Overclock

Graphics Card: nVidia GTX 670 2Gb x2 SLI

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16Gb 1600

HDD: Dual Western Digital 10,000RPM Raptor (RAID0)

Western Digital 1Tb HDD (Media Storage)

almost always 100+ fps, aside from being in cherno or elektro. when i was in those towns, maybe around 70 or 80.

i have similar fps with my new setup, but when looking into elektro or cherno im getting around 30 fps which is a drastic decrease.

new setup includes a 3960x sandybridge and an intel dx79sr along with an SSD.

i was able to get my old rig to use more system resources to increase FPS i cant remember for the life of me what settings i had to change.

i have cpucount in my startup parameter already and tried 2 and 6 with no difference.

so... you getting 70 or 80 fps, except when your near the biggest server loads possible & then it only goest down to 30 fps??

Please post back when you have a real problem... dude those are good numbers for A2, count yourself amoung the blessed & move on. A2 is one of the most single spec hogs ever created, so trust me... your ok!

My previous build was getting more than double FPS in areas where I am getting low numbers on this one. It isn't a matter of my FPS is low wahhh this sucks. There is actually a technical issue, I would like to figure out how to fix it. There are numerous other threads on FPS where people are getting extremely low numbers anywhere from 2-5FPS, it could be the same reason and with a fix, they could be running where I am now which would be like a 500% increase in FPS.
