Trouble running DayZ at a reliable FPS

[san475 0]

I can't seem to be able to run DayZ at a good framerate. I want feedback from other players with similar specs to see if it has to do with my computer or with how i have my settings set.

My PC specs are:

8gb RAM

GTX 550 ti

AMD Athlon II X2 220 Processor (2 CPUs), ~2.8GHz

Windows 7 64 bit

1920x1080 Monitor

I am running DayZ at lowest possible settings exept for anti-aliasing on low.

I get around 10-20 fps usually, lower in cities.

I understand that my processor is not the best and I am working on upgrading it.

If you have any feedback please respond.

Thanks.

I think 99% of your problems will be solved when you upgrade that CPU. There is ofc various settings you could tinker around with but tbh , they aint going to make a whole lot of difference framerate wise until you upgrade to at least a Quad core.

Thank you for responding so quickly, I understand that I really need a new CPU, but in the time being I was hoping to find something to optimize my game.

You aren't going to get higher even with the little optimization, i have a Q9550 and GTS 250 and i have higher fps than you. Up to 70fps on land and 30 fps in cities on a good server.
