Low FPS

[napalmx9 1]

Hi Ive been getting very low FPS while playing DayZ compared to the base game, i only get about 20 FPS and it only differs by 5 FPS from very low to very high. I get good FPS and graphics out of the base game but just not for this. Also i have used both window mode and full screen.

Here are my specs

GTS450

AMD Athlon II X3 425

3gb of ram

i can play many games near high with good FPS

also I have my GPU overclocked using MSI Afterburner.

Any tips appreciated.

If you are on a server with lots of zombies, that might be your problem. I know that with 350-400+ zombies, my frame-rate drops a few notches.

Something that does help me keep around 30fps is a program called Game Booster 3. It's free to download and frees up space for your processor when you run it. I get around a 60% boost.

Here's the link: http://www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html

You can also defrag your game using the above program. This helps from time to time I find.

I think it's pretty common to be at 20-30 fps in this mod. No matter what your system is..

I run the game at 50-70 fps in campaign and then when I load this mod, regardless of GFX settings I get 5 fps since this latest patch.

My current set up is:

CPU: AMD Phenom II x6 1065t @ 4.0 ghz/1.5v

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master V6 GT

Mobo: Asus M5A99x EVO

Ram: 4 Gigs

PSU: Cooler Master Silent ProM 850

GPU:2xCrossfireX Asus 6850

Case: HAF 912

Yep, I was getting 30-40 fps before the 1.5.8.2 patch - now I'm getting 9 fps! Glad to hear it's getting fixed.

Got the same problem since last update (1.5.8.2)

When I join a first server, FPS are ok (40-50 FPS) but when I leave and join an other my FPS drop to 5-10 FPS (I died stupidly because of that), the first server was a US server (can't remember the number) with ~49/50 people and +400 zombies, the second server was an other US with the same amount of player and zombies.

When I restart Arma and reconnect to the second server my FPS are ok

Damn, my character who survived for 16h+ and killed 1400 zombies died stupidly ...
