Good PC = horrible performance?

Recommended Posts

Hey, I've been playing DayZ for a while, and it seems like I'm the only one in my group of friends, who have an incredibly low FPS while playing.

My average FPS is most of the time around 22, but sometimes it can drop down to about 18. The thing is, I have a pretty good gaming machine, and I've tried lowering everything to the lowest possible, trying to fix it through the different config files, but with no luck. I still get the about 22 FPS average.

The worst seems to be when I'm in Chernogorsk. But even if I've been there and run far away, my FPS still won't go above 25 at any given time. (It can occasionally get above 25, but mostly it stays below that) I've also noticed, through MSI Afterburner, that my GPU memory is pretty much maxed out (1GB), but the GPU usage is never above 50%, same goes for my CPU.

Could anyone please help me, it's really annoying.

PC specs:

AMD Phenom 2 x4 965

Gainward GeForce GTX 560 Ti

2*4GB DDR3 CL7 Corsair Vengeance

500GB WD HDD (Not sure about the RPM)

If you need any other information, ask away.

I see whats wrong here, ;) you CPU is not that good yet your GPU is in the top tier .... and when low settings Arma uses CPU insted of GPU.

BUT if you have everything at high or very high it uses GPU, try that and report back pls :)

Use the ARMA 2 benchmark to see how is your performance, with more accuracy (Singleplayer / Scenarios / E08: Benchmark).

With Very High settings, only with post process effects and vertical sync disabled, i get around 75 FPS.

Alright, I've tried running the game with everything set too high (Not AA or post-processing though) and got about the same FPS in DayZ. (Around the international airfield)

Use the ARMA 2 benchmark to see how is your performance, with more accuracy (Singleplayer / Scenarios / E08: Benchmark).

With Very High settings, only with post process effects and vertical sync disabled, i get around 75 FPS.

I also ran the benchmark, with everything except the ones you said set to the very highest setting, then I got 27 FPS average. (29 with AA disabled)

I also ran the normal Arma 2 benchmark 1 (In just Arma 2) and got 44 FPS average.

So what can I do now?
