under_cover 2 Posted August 12, 2012 please read my post carefully: arma 2 is running fluently even on higher settings than dayz, its only dayz that has low fps ( independant from the server i am on, btw - tried out many ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
garybracket 1 Posted August 12, 2012 DayZ servers are rendering a lot more than ArmA 2 server. As the above poster said, it's your processor (most likely) you're running a dual core. Not a core2duo, but a dual core! Those things have outdated technology, it's time for an upgrade! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
