FPS problem. Tried everything

[gynther19 4]

I know this is a common problem, there are lots of threads out there, and believe me; I have read them all.

Firstly; I have a decent computer, I have played DayZ and ArmA 2 for over a year now with normal settings. After I bought my computer I played on the highest settings without lag, but the fps dropped more and more the fuller my PC got. I now play on a stable 25-35 fps in and around cities. That is untill yesterday. 

 

Suddenly I play with 6-8 fps when looking at bushes, and tops 15 fps when I'm running in the wild. In the cities, oh the cities. It's impossible to play. There's no way I can play with such low fps. And I have tried everything. I reformated my laptop a while ago, when the fps were pretty shitty. Afterwards I could play on the highest settings again. Then it drops more and more, and suddenly yesterday it's impossible to play. 

 

Here's my specs:

(Sorry for bad translation)

Graficsprosessor: GeForce GT 650M

CPU: Intel® Core i7-3740QM CPU @ 2.70GHz

Memory: 8,00 GB RAM (7,89 GB available)

Operativesystem: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

I have the latest update of drivers: GeForce 335.23

 

When I say I have done everything, I mean;

- Played with the settings

- Reinstalled the game

- Ran a virus-scan, disc-cleaner, CCleaner, deleted files, etc.

- Written in commands for ArmA 2, ArmA 2 OA, and DayZ Commander. These are the commands; -maxMem=2047 -maxVRAM=2047 -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=7

- Unparked my CPU's with this tool: http://www.coderbag.com/Programming-C/Disable-CPU-Core-Parking-Utility

- Even deleted the grass, which actually didn't help. (I moved the "Clutter" files from ArmA 2 files in the documents).

 

The two most recent pages I've read and tried are these:

I'm lost guys. I play on the campaign on both ArmA and Operation Arrowhead with no trouble. FPS only drops sometimes when dust from helicopter swirls up in the air, but nothing else.

8,00? Never seen that before, and try getting a new cpu, one above 3.0ghz, and intel brand. What fps do you get on low or is that what you me tioned?

Also what do you mean as your pc got fuller and fuller

[gynther19 4]

My laptop is fairly new, and if I need a new cpu it doesn't explain why after I reformated my drive I can play on highest settings without trouble, and after a month till half a year I can only play on normal or low. 

The fps were nearly unchanged when I mixed the settings (turning on or off shadows, antialiasing(?), preferable settings, and so on.

 

By fuller and fuller I was thinking when the (C:) disk (local disk) got less and less space. How much memory I could store. Right now I have an SSD which when empty I have 224 GB available, but now I have 147 GB available = more than 50 % left. I've read that having less than 1/4 (25%) of the available disk space may cause fraps to drop, so I try to keep it as empty as I can.

It's not really being mentioned in there:

 

Have youtried different servers? They can bottleneck you quite a lot. Try joining different servers (best would be Vanilla 1.8.0.3, as it's got the best performance) and report back.

 

If you're talking about Epoch, I can only say that there's not much hope for you as it's poorly optimised.

I should really say; thanks for the replies.

 

I decided to let my pc rest yesterday, so I tried this morning to join another server I've played on earlier. No framedrops at all. Not by looking at bushes close-up, not by running in the city, nothing. It was smooth. This was on pretty low settings, with shadows turned off, antialising(?) off, and even the grass (clutter) off. Then I decided to try the problem server, which actually was a vanilla server, but I think it's been moded a bit with weather and such, (I've never encountered snow on any other server). And what do you know? A steady 35+ fps with the exact same settings as the previous mentioned server. I didn't do anything. I did changes yesterday, then spoke to you guys on the forum, then turned off my pc for a day, booted it up, and now it's smooth. I don't think it was due to overheating either, without actually knowing or not, because I tried to play in the morning, like I did now, so the pc couldn't be hot.
