How will my pc handle DayZ?

[hastein 0]

I can play the Demo of Arma 2 on the default "High" setting OK. It seems the view distance is important with this game (especially the DayZ mod), which makes me a little paranoid about my setup.

So, if this setup can handle the Arma 2 demo OK will DayZ run the same?

Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400(2.66GHz)

4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 800

NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 1GB

Windows 7 Home

I just want to be sure before I go buy the CO game pack. I've been watching videos of DayZ and regular gameplay and it seems epic.

you can save your self $10 with just getting OA and joining it with arma 2 free that gives you Arma 2 CO lite same thing just not the full game of arma 2 and little lower textures but thats all you need to play dayz pretty well also if you are playing arma 2 free try to find a server to join test out your net just to see how much lag you get other then that you should be cool as long as your PC/Laptop is pretty new my year old Laptop runs it well it was cheep and at no where near a gaming laptop it like a bottom $$$ and it runs great only a few hick ups if in a big battle but online I lag pretty bad when running (ppl can crouch run faster then me sprinting) but we have sucky internet here.

I think the view distance is set by the server.

But you should be okey with your setup.

Sweet. Thanks guys. I have some old Gamestop gift cards around. I was going to pick it up with those.

It is indeed set by the mission. Weather should affect view distance greatly, but it doesn't matter what you set in your options. Since I don't know if the game uses unnecessary power to load higher view distance I've set mine to the lowest possible as it is locked to the mission anyway.

I have a Q6600 that runs the game swimmingly. Your 250 is a bit on the aging side but you should be OK, and if you need to 1280x720 should boost your frames.
