Computer not running Dayz + 'Sprint' Feature Bug

[DarkLightFX 0]

Hey Guys was kinda hoping you could help me with a little issue. When I play Dayz I am getting about 17-20 frames per second and do not suffer from any lag, usually is pretty smooth. However as soon as I start recording, My fps drops to like 10-8 frames per second. As you can imagine the game is laggy and horrible to play. I am running the game using a ASUS Laptop which has a i7 quad core 2ghz processor, 4gb Ram(1333MHZ I think), Nvida gefore gt520m graphics card. (If you need to know anything else about my computer let me know) In my opinion this is not bad specs for a computer what so ever. But it really sucks that I cannot not record whilst playing. Also another bug I've noticed ever since I had the game, is that the 'Sprint' feature is actually slower than running, as you can imagine being slow in a zombie apocalypse whilst being chased by bandit gives me such a disadvantage, I have read about this bug on forums and many people have suggested it's to do with, how well the computer runs the game :/. I would really appreciate some feedback and any idea what I can do to get like 30fps (E.G internal upgrades that would be, or even changing something in-game) also can you give me any information about - Will Dayz standalone eat less of my CPU up? Any feedback would be very much appreciated.

-Sorry About Topic title, didn't know what to put it as :P

I found your problem...

"Laptop"

My input would to just get a tower. You can get one relatively good for about £400 and one very good at about £800 so it's not a massive amount of money for a computer that can run a lot of the latest games on highest specs.

Good Luck.

Your graphics card isn't very powerful at all to be honest, you're going to have to upgrade to do what you want to do.
