I can run BF3 high settings - Can't run Day-Z low?

Well I've been running BF3 on high settings with minimal lag, while I only get 20-30 fps in Day-Z. No it's not just the server.

There are a # of reasons for this, and I'm sure plenty of the community will tell you.

Always keep in mind, just because you can run one game in high settings, doesn't mean you'll be able to with the rest. That's not how things work.

Arma 2 is a very GPU demanding game. I used to only be able to play DayZ/Arma 2 on Very low settings with my old Radeon HD 6450, Now I can play it on very high with 60-40 fps with my new HD 6870 Sapphire.

Also I think you are recommended to have 3GHz. Correct me if i'm wrong.

I'm pretty sure that if you can play Arma maxed out you'll be able to play any game maxed out lol

I don't know Computer Specs at all but what I can tell you is pretty much what others have said, Arma 2 takes A LOT out of your computer. I can run L4D2 on maxed out settings on my Gaming Laptop but have to run Dayz and Arma 2 on the lowest of lowest settings.
