how many FPS should I get on DayZ with this laptop

[purinacatfood 0]

AMD a6-3400m quad core @ 1.4-2.1 ghz

Radeon HD 6720g2

Windows 7 64 bit

250 gb HD

3.6 gb RAM

with all settings on low

It's better than my laptop, and I on most servers with at least 250 ping and less normally get between 30-60 fps. I'm sure you'll be fine, ESPECIALLY with everything on low.

Just make sure to close 6 Launcher/ DayZ Commander before you begin. I have a good pc, but for some reason the game tends to freeze lag when the launchers are on.

30-60 fps on a laptop worse than mine, good for you dude but i find that hard to believe

Well, I am running various programs to help boost such a thing.

2.1ghz CPU is going to hurt your fps a lot. Id predict your getting around 40 on average, 10/15 in cherno elektro ? Did i win ?

what kind of program?s id be interested in using them aswell

FPS is calculated by several different things. I doubt anyone could give you a real number based on pc specs alone.

true but you can certainly get a good idea of how its going to run

Try game booster, for a start. It's really good.

Smokey the Bear frowns on your implications.

Also, it will run the game rather smoothly.

But, I see that your CPU is sorta underpowered compared to the GPU.

Thus, I recommend that you DO NOT run the game on low or very low settings.

Arma 2 will use the CPU more than the GPU when in those settings.

The GPU itself is powerful enough.

I have a similarly powerful AMD card too and I can run the game without stutters and well within the 35-45 FPS range with almost everything to the max.

View distance will be the most hard on you, most DayZ servers have those locked from going further than a certain point but expect "fog" to be ever present past a point if you play the base games.

It wont run it that well but it will run it.

Your issue is that the Hybrid Xfire between APU and the GPU (Radeon HD 6720g2 = 6650M GPU + 6520G APU) which is the graphical selling point of that machine won't be utilised properly by ARMA. Any graphical estimate should therefore be made as if your using a 6650M GPU alongside a 2.1GHz Quad CPU which not high end by todays standards will run the game..... giving you an FPS estimate is not realistic to do too many variables..

You should probably read some guides for optimizing Arma 2(some are on this forum), before suggesting bad settings.
