What fps/performance will my specs get me on DayZ/Arma II in general?

[OhmPunisher 0]

Hey everyone I was wondering if you could help me with my problem here and tell me how I will run DayZ/Arma II in general with my specs;

4 GB Ram

Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E6600

(4M Cache, 2.40 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB)

8800 GTS

---------------

I've highlighted the CPU because I've been doing a bit of research and that is what the game seems to stress/use the most, but by the looks of it my graphics card seems to be fine but I still need some reassurance. What kind of fps will I be looking at at low/medium/high settings? I'm not expecting high settings but how will the graphics be on low/medium or a mix of the both? Is there any way I can improve the performance?

Thanks, hope somebody can help :)

EDIT: Doing some research also it seems my CPU will get around 17-20 fps on average. Is this true? Thanks once again.

It depends on the server you are playing on, how long it has been up + how many players are/have been on it.

And ofc what settings you want to play on.

You can probably get 60 FPS in the right circumstances, but you should expect 20-30 on normal servers. And 15~ in larger cities.

There are few tweaks you can do, but I would bet dollars to doughnuts that it is more in your head.

Alright thank you. Well I'm not sure how the player cap is on server's , what do you think would get me a consistent 30 fps? With like low-medium settings (settings aren't a big issue for me but if it can be at an alright setting then that's good). Also, by right circumstances, what do you mean? I'm not looking for 60 fps all the time, just something that doesn't ruin my gameplay and is consistent.

Thank you for your reply! :) Hope you can reply to this also, looking very forward to potentially playing this.
