aseliot 23 Posted August 29, 2012 Hi i don't seem to be able to pass the goddamn captcha at the bohemia forums for whatever reason, i just dont know what it wants from me!!Anyway, so i will post this here seeing it is kind of related and there are some people here that know more about it than i do.I'm having very poor performance with my new videocard (name in the title yeah) and it doesnt make any sense, i've set it to low and i get 13 fps. Have no idea why, my previous 5830 could run it just fine.Specs:ASUS p7p55di7 860 @ 2,6 ghz8 GB RAMOCZ 120 GB SSDSapphire 7950 OC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Owain1122 218 Posted August 29, 2012 Don't want to be that person but.... have you updated your drivers for the gfx card? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lonrem 62 Posted August 29, 2012 You've got terrible FPS because on low settings, most everything is run on the CPU. Turn your settings up. I've got 5k series as well and I get lower FPS on low than I do at high and very high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aplum12 69 Posted August 29, 2012 i find putting your graphics higher makes it run better. I play on a GTX 570 and play with basically everything on very high with some things disabled Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wall-E 0 Posted August 29, 2012 I gained a lot of fps by setting it in -winxp in the launch parameters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colekern 1364 Posted August 29, 2012 A lot of people have had this problem. I think it's caused by the game itself, not your graphics card power. I, for instance, have a card in the AMD 6000 series, and it runs just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spex 47 Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) Try this guide. Parts are for Nvidia cards but you should be able to find the same settings for your card. Took me from 20-30 FPS on a GTX 460 to 50-70. Also took me from 40-50 fps on my GTX 670 to 100+https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WdZYSLzMuZx95znSdVVCjI7DCOmc4DwY9tDYyxj6Gmc/edit Edited August 30, 2012 by barrycarey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

decoman 45 Posted September 8, 2012 I now have the cheaper Sapphire 7950 and DayZ runs ok on it.Tip: Enable SSAA very high, to get smooth AA on tree trunks, housing and terrain with zero fps dropI do have my card overclocked with Sapphire Trixx, running at 1100 MHz core and 1500 MHz memory, at 1.125 volt.With my old 5850 and the new 7950, I sometimes get sudden 3-4 second lag, as if something suddenly was loading. Perhaps because I set some value in the config file too low, I have not found any cause for the occasional sudden drop in fps that lasts 3-4 seconds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
