Obsolescence 129 Posted October 2, 2012 I get 50-70 fps in wilderness and 20-35 in cities. I was just hoping some people could comment about whether or not these results seem on par with my specs, because considering there isn't much room to upgrade my cpu I'm surprised that my fps drop is so huge in cities.3.2 Ghz AMD Phenom II X6 1100T8 gigs RAM @ 1600 MhzRadeon HD 6970 2 gigs GDDR5120GB 10,000 RPM HDDI'm fairly certain I'm CPU-bottlenecked because I can adjust many of the GPU intensive settings without seeing a rise/drop in FPS. I've followed all of the tweaking guides I could find and this is as good as it gets for me it seems.As always, thanks for the comments/suggestions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sm00tje 88 Posted October 2, 2012 my specs are a little weaker and I'm cpu-bottlenecked too, but I have fairly the same amount of fps. what are your graphic settings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gesundheitk 420 Posted October 2, 2012 I would buy an aftermarket cooler and overclock it higher if you really want a change in FPS. Other than that, you should be just fine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Overclocking the CPU helps tremendously with DayZ mod's performance. In my case (specs are below), I got 10-15 FPS increase after overclocking my CPU to 3.2 GHZ from 2.6. Though I had to revert back to stock speed since I'm using the Intel E5200 stock cooler at the moment (which works great and gives me 40 idle and 70 load temperatures at stock btw) and not a big fan of using the CPU above 50 celcius at idle and constantly around 85-93 during load. I am trying to get a good CPU cooler as soon as possible to overclock though...Intel Q6700 @ stock (2.4 GHZ)Gigabyte X48-DS5Zotac GTX560 Ti @ stock4 GB (2x2) A-Data DDR2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sm00tje 88 Posted October 3, 2012 overclocking is always a bit risky, if you don't know how to do it properly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've actually seen some people who've gotten up to 4.5GHz on their unlocked chips, with around 42 Idle, 60 on 24/7 stress test. Don't forget to pick up a decent thermal paste though. I found for me that the Arctic Silver 5 worked best for these type of situations. Highest I would recommend going to though is about 4.7, anything more than that only gives you one or two FPS, instead of the 10-15 FPS different you would notice.overclocking is always a bit risky, if you don't know how to do it properlyIt's not too hard if you do it right, all you really need is items that allow you to overclock easily (ASUS Mobo and G.Skill Sniper RAM ftw), along with some nice thermal paste and a good cooler.
