b4k4_d35u 0 Posted August 5, 2012 To start here are my specs:Pentium® Dual-Core E5500 @ 2.8GHz4 GB Ram (3.95) UsableWindows 7 Home PemiumGraphics areIntel G45/G43 ChipsetIt says it has 1759 MB available graphics memory.Dayz is up to date 1.7 etcand the severs have a low ping rate with few players (5-10)Whenever I go to walk it takes 1 -2 secs from the time I push "W" to when I start moving. My question is what is causing this and what can I do about it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chipdemon@yahoo.com 57 Posted August 5, 2012 Looks like you've got onboard graphics for a start, which generally suck. And a low end cpu.Looks like you could do with a bit of an upgrade :( 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

b4k4_d35u 0 Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) Okay tried throwing it on the ground, but saw no improvement.Could I get away with buying just a graphics card? Edited August 5, 2012 by b4k4_d35u Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tweakie 199 Posted August 5, 2012 You don't buy a new graphics card for a laptop, you buy a new laptop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fap 9 Posted August 5, 2012 Pentium® Dual-Core E5500 @ 2.8GHzMy question is what is causing this and what can I do about it?That CPU is a killer, you can overclock it way above 4 GHz and at that point there's no reason to upgrade for DayZ at least...A graphics card upgrade would do you wonders, get a 7870 or 7850 and bam, you're pretty much good to go (just be sure your power supply can handle it, and that your motherboard isn't some weird PCI-E x4 shit). Though overclocking that CPU would surely help aswell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't recommend doing that as he most like doesn't have a decent cooling system.And I don't think that that CPU bottlenecks the game to such extent.You could try reinstalling the game if that's an option :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
