Not your usual performance issue thread

Hey dudes,

So, my DayZ journey started on my Macbook Pro, and yes, it plays awesome! obviously I have a few FPS drops here and there but who doesn't?

So, as I'm enjoying my DayZ journey on my MBP I decided to purchase a new Geforce 460 2GB for my PC, I install the new card and install all the updates, ArmA 2, DayZ etc, etc... Everything runs fantastic, smooth FPS, fantastic response- couldn't fault it! Then it all started to go down hill, FPS has dropped a dramatic amount (i'll be lucky to push 4-6 FPS in Elektro!) I thought it might be the update because I've read a few forums about FPS drops so I thought it might be that, so I update my game on my MBP and tried it, but everything is fine still? Do you guys have any suggestions? (I'm going to try a fresh re-install tonight, I'll keep you updated)

My specs are:

MacBook Pro (Late 2010)

Processor: 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor

RAM: 4GB

Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory

HDD: 250GB

PC:

Processor: 3,4GHz Dual Core intel

RAM: 2GB

Graphics: Geforce 460, 2GB

HDD: 500GB

Thanks for reading!

Your posts seems to be abit silly. Cant you read? he clearly said the problem is with his PC..

Sounds good, I'll give it a go now and report back.

Thanks again.

EDIT:

Right, I'm happy with that... I am now getting 20-30FPS in Cherno, only problem is there is only about 7 servers active at 1.7.2.5 so not many people are in a server... The real question is will i continue getting 20FPS in a populated server!? I'll keep you posted.

Thanks again Sgt.
