What would the minimum system requirements be to run DayZ?

[Damonb10 3]

My laptop (Which is what I'm on most of the time) can't run DayZ, and I don't have the specs for my desktop. I DO know some vague specs for it though.

RAM: Somewhere between 4.00 and 5.00 GB

Windows XP Professional

That's all I know right now. Any more help would be appreciated.

it even tells you on steam....

why do you need help for this?

[Dancing.Russian.Man 1631]

The RAM is enough, at least. But that alone can't do much.

Try finding out what is your processor and graphics card.

( Go to Start > Run > write dxdiag.exe )

[Kyzahh 127]

Minimum: Windows XP

Processor: Intel Core Duo 2.2 Ghz or AMD Athlon 2.5 Ghz

Memory: 4gb

Graphics Nividia Geforce 8600GT or ATI 4650 or faster with Shader Model 3 and 512 MB VRAM

DayZ is more demanding than normal ArmA 2 so I've upped some of the specs a little.

Remember this is minimum so it will probably run averagely on pretty much all the lowest settings.

Graphics card is a bit average but it should run it on Medium-high just fine at the laptop resolution.

ok what graphics card would be ideal for this game and how much are they generally.. and can the 630 m be replaced with a new one down the road?

also thanks for the quick response!

Laptop graphics can't be upgraded which is why I always prefer to use a desktop.

With laptop graphics, you want at least a gig of GDDR5 with the graphics card.

If I can run the Op: Arrowhead demo will I be able to run the full game (and therefore DayZ)?

DayZ is a bit more intensive than stock ArmA with all the zombies running around and whatnot. If you can run ArmA 2: Free or the OA Demo really smoothly then you should be fine in DayZ though. If it's choppy at all with stock ArmA then you probably won't have much luck.

I was wondering if this system could run Day Z and how fast it would run it on high? if not high then medium maybe? help is greatly appreciated.

WRONG!

If the laptop supports MXM its GPU CAN be upgraded. 98% of laptops cannot however. I had a laptop once that supported it, considered upgrading my GPU but chose to buy a desktop instead.

I play with 2gb of ram and a 2.1ghz cpu and run at like 25fps best. Easily playable at that and still looks pretty good
