n_findlay14@yahoo.co.uk 45 Posted July 28, 2012 Sapphire Radeon HD5850 Toxic(overclocked) - runs at an average of 45 or so fps. Minimum of 30ish. Maxxed out all settings except AA and the god-awful post-process effects.I also run a AMD Phenom II 1090t.Although good luck finding a 5850 that isn't second hand.

Delta Smoke 01 765 Posted July 28, 2012 running an i5 and a single gtx 680, 8gb ram and an ssd. I can run full settings with hdr dropped one to high. This is after much system tweaking on my end though PM me if your having issues with the gtx 680 as nvidia cards or not optimized for this game as much as radeon cards.

phronk 9 Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) GTX 570, but I have a shitty fucking dual-core processor due to my ancient motherboard. (They stopped making the motherboards I use like 5 years ago. It's old. And I can't afford to buy a new motherboard/processor at the moment. :( )Runs pretty decent. Hiccups sometimes, but nothing terrible. Sometimes I guess you can say it runs smooth. Depends how large the town is that I am in. Edited July 28, 2012 by Phronq Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remus (DayZ) 8 Posted July 28, 2012 PNY Geforce 550 ti 1 GB Rami7 3770k Clocked to 3.9GhzAlways go with a Nvidia Graphics Card, Geforce series, prob in the 600 series.Radeon GFX cards are shit, If you want a long lasting card that performs well, go with Nvidia.

aussiestig 681 Posted July 28, 2012 FX-6100 (Was given as a gift) and GTX 560ti OC'd to 900mhz. I run it max everything, 50-60 fps in the wilderness and 40ish in the cities. The performance gets better every patch. About a month ago I got no better than 30fps in the middle of nowhere, and 18ish in cherno. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VeNoM56k 158 Posted July 28, 2012 Phenom II X4 980 and a GTX 670. Have not had any problems running anything. I run dual monitors aswell and never disable one when gaming and everything still runs perfect.I only upgraded to the 670 a few weeks ago from a 560ti. The 670 is a beast of a card. If you could splash out the extra money for it I would highly recommend it.But if you don't wanna spend the extra money for the 670, my old 560ti was great aswell. It would be in your price range and it runs DayZ well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Man 393 Posted July 28, 2012 For a game like Dayz and ARMA you need a great Harddrive as well as a decent gfx card. You can get a huge fps boost with a nice harddrive. You don't really need a modern top of the line video card to run this game on the highest settings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SystemiK 366 Posted July 28, 2012 I've been very pleased with my Sapphire 6950 (running 6970 shaders / clocks). I was planning to use this in the interrim while waiting for 7xxx series to launch but I soon realized there was no need to upgrade just yet. Not sure if they have changed this since I purchased my card, but the one I bought has a dual Bios. With a simple flick of a switch it loads the 6970 bios with unlocked shaders. Bumped up the clocks just a bit and woilla. My card is now identical to a 6970. Not bad for a five minute out of the box upgrade.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102987 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supersoildergamer 0 Posted July 28, 2012 Ive got a i7 3770K and a Evga GeForce GTX 480. Sure the cards a little dated but im running arma 2:CO at somewhere in between very high and high for 45 fps average even when the action is intense. The card is going for $199 on amazon and is great for games like BF3 (Ultra-47 FPS). Overall its a great card for the value and I highly reccomend it. :thumbsup: :beans: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
