How fast should my computer be able to run Day Z?

[Skaterkidd92 2]

Looking for help with my computer on running Day Z.

Okay, I have a Toshiba laptop. I got it last Christmas. I can run ArmA 2 : OA (Single player) at about 50 FPS. I can run multiplayer servers at about 40 FPS. and Day Z servers at about 5 - 20 FPS depending where I am.

I am doing these tests on normal settings.

The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L750D

Processor: AMD A6-3400M APU with Radeon HD Graphics 1.40 GHz.

Here is my DirectX Diagnostic. (Display)

Name: AMD Radeon HD 6520G

Chip Type: ATI display adapter (0x9647)

Approx. Total Memory: 2025 (I have 4 gigs of RAM, not sure why it says there's only 2.)

Current Display Mode: 1366 x 768 (32 bit) (60Hz) I'm also running Windows 7 64 bit. (Not sure why it says my monitor is 32 bit.) And it's a generic PnP monitor.

(this computer is a quad-core as well.)

Driver model: WDDM 1.1 (for the AMD Radeon HD 6520G)

The driver version is 8.911.6.0

Currently, if there has been an update to my graphics driver since November 2011, Toshiba won't let me have it. I cannot install AMD Catalyst Control center on my computer due to compatibility issues with Toshiba hardware.

Additional details:

I have already set the GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1; GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1; in my config, and set graphics settings accordingly. Sometimes, I can barely run Day Z on very low settings. I have video memory set to default too.

I have noticed it is better on some servers than others, and it really lags when I walk into cities.

I run other high-end games such as Red Orchestra 2, Just Cause 2, Portal, TF2, HL2, Spec-Ops the line, CoD series, indie games, Minecraft (With GLSL shaders/shadows) -etc, at high settings.

Thank anyone ahead of time. I really want to play this mod with my friends, but It's not helping with the low frames that i'm getting.

I tried to give all the facts about my system and settings that would be the cause of this issue.

Laptops are never the best option for gaming, a lower priced desktop would be better.

To run dayZ you need a Tesla (mini super computer cluster) that is liquid nitrogen cooled, well not really, but it sure would help :P

The problem is most likely your graphics card (or lack of) - an onboard graphics chip will not suffice for this game. And to be honest a lot of the mobile versions of good cards are no longer "good".

The 32 bit in regard to your monitor is to do with colour depth. (8,16,24,32)

My suggestion if you can afford it is to get a desktop, if you really want a laptop for gaming then look at alien ware laptops (don't buy one), but they will give you an idea of the specs needed to have a "gaming" laptop.
