Low FPS

[Anthony Bugg 3]

Hello, i am new to DayZ entirely, and as soon as i started the game i had very poor fps. I could look down and my FPS would be fine, i could look at the sky and my FPS is fine, but when i look around me my FPS drops horribly! I was just wondering if you guys could give me some tips or some good settings that could give me around 40 to 60 FPS and at the same time not make the game look blurry if possible! Thanks!

 

System Specs:

 

CPU: Intel Core Quad CPU Q6600 2.40GHz

 

GPU: Nvidia GTX 660 SuperClocked

 

RAM: 8 GB 

 

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-BIT

Not with that CPU bottleneck...you need a bit more MHz imo. It's quite normal that you gain fps when you look up and down because there is really nothing to render in that case...

 

Look at my signature.

That signature is brilliant.

Hey Steak, thanks for that guide, i got at least a 10 to 20 fps boost! Also, since my CPU is sort of bad what would you guys suggest for me? I sort of have a price range of 100 to 150 =(.

Hey Anthony, there isn't a better cpu that you could really get for the motherboard you have.  The Intel Q6600 is for the LGA 775 socket and all the motherboards with that socket are a bit outdated, for most current games that is. 

 

I would save up some cash and keep an eye on NewEgg for some deals.  However, I would recommend going AMD, as that will keep you from giving up an arm, a leg and some plasma!  ;)

 

I have been gaming with AMD since Counter-Strike and they have always remained the best bang for your buck.  I'm not too sure how they will be doing in the future though, as their latest cpus {9370&9590} need to be liquid cooled.  Although, most pc gamers are going the liquid route, it's still something to keep in mind.

 

Here's some links to a good AMD motherboard and cpu at a decent cost:

Here's a link to a comparison between those two listed cpus:

There are other options, but going cheaper than this wouldn't really be worth it when it comes to gaming.  I checked my NewEgg mail each day for deals while I saved up cash and bought parts separately over a few weeks.
