DayZ FPS Issue

[kevinrwheeler 0]

Whenever I start DayZ it plays at about 30 FPS (sometimes) then later it drops down to 10-20 FPS even if I don't move.

Specs:

GPU - AMD Radeon HD 7850 2GB

CPU - AMD Bulldozer FX-4100 (Quad Core) 3.6GHz

RAM - 8GB DDR3 1333MHz

People have told me that my computer should be able to run DayZ on Max settings with no problem and yet I have major FPS issues.

Is it overheating? :S A well deserved restart could fix it too,

The computer doesn't seem to be getting overheated and I restart the computer every night before I go to sleep.

GPU drivers up to date?

I have tried 12.6, 12.7, and 12.8. Do you think I should try different ones?

Turn off AA and reduce HDR.

What someone told you what that card can do and what it actually does are two different things.

Turn off AA,VSync and try it again.

I have AA turned off and HDR to it's minimum. Someone I know actually has the same GPU and can run DayZ at about 50 FPS.

I have AA, VSync and Post Process effect all turned off.

May be irrelevant but whats the model of your GPU?

How do I check the model?

You got the box right?

Or just go into your computer properties.

Well I don't have the box and where is the computer properties? If you mean right clicking on Computer then click properties then I don't see any Model for GPU there.

video memory should be set to default... this will give you the biggest boost since you are running 2gb cashe on your GPU...
