Need help whit Fps issues

Recommended Posts

Hello. I'm new to the forums as i just started to play dayz mod.(my English is pretty bad and im not good at making these forum texts)

 

I need help whit a performance issue.

 

 

My Specs:

Sapphire radeon hd 7750 1gb gddr5 low profile

Amd a10 5700 3,4 ghz (Intergraded Radeon 6770D wich is running in dual graphics mode whit the Radeon hd 7750)

12 gb of ram

aspire x3475 motherboard. I have no information about this one and cpu-z doesn't show much information.

No idea of my power supply but its not the problem i think.

2 500GB HDD whit the D drive where all my steam games and other games are on is full. (Can it be the causing problem?)

 

 

 

My problem is that its running dayz mod poorly whit ~28 fps stable outside of cities and it drops to 20 in cities. i have no problems whit lag spikes or anything like that.

I can run bf3 on ultra settings no MSAA without problems 60fps and i run skyrim whit no problems either.

 

My brother just got a new computer whit a amd r7 240 and a intel core i5 4460 and he is running games such as skyrim, Lol, csgo and battlefield worse then me because hes GPU is not the best. But when we play dayz mod he just reks me whit hes performance. He gets 60 fps smooth on the same settings as i do and he hasnt even changed hes settings in the Arma2AO file in my documents. I know in fact that hes computers performance is worse than mine but dayz runs better on hes. Is it because he has a Intel cpu or is my CPU bottlenecking really hard or enything? It cant be my GPU since he has one with lower perfomance. I have tried all kind of fixes. Every setting on low, ramdisk, editing the arma2OA file whit all these gpurenderframestuff.

 

I have tried to search for people whit same specs and same issue but i cant find so i decided to make a own tread.

 

Please answer whit solutions that has something to do whit my GPU/CPU or amd products only or then if you in fact know that something is wrong whit some of my spec.

 

Thank you.

 

 

 

Edit: My fps on all lowest setting whit 50 render resolution is about 30 outside of cities and whit all the best settings whit 100% render resolution it runs on 25 so there is no difference whatsoever only a few spikes but that makes sense since its running max. thought it would help since it shows that my computer runs it equally on max.

For the question; Is my cpu bottlenecking really hard or anything?

 

There is one way to test it, but you might have to get a different cpu fan. 

I think it's a good idea, to start overclocking your cpu, so you can be sure that your cpu is not the cause.

Also, yes the game relies a lot on cpu power and not so much on the graphics card.

Of course the game is not really well optimized so lower fps is normal in this game.

 

The thing that I don't get is you're saying that he is running a r7 240 and an intel core I5 4460 and he's able to run the game smoothly on 60 fps.

I have an I5 4670 and a Radeon HD 7870 and yes. Outside cities smooth 60 fps, but as soon as I am entering elektro my fps goes down to around 20 fps.

Is he getting lower fps in cities as well, because if not that is just really weird. :P

As far as I know, the whole DayZ population is feeling fps lag. If you can't live with it, wait for the official release, all you can do is accept it and play like that.

Edit: his computer might be on gaming mode? Iunno

even though the a10 has a faster clock speed the i5 is bit faster on cpu intensive processes the only thing that the a10 outperforms on is the graphics performance but you're not using them,

 

this shouldn't make the game quite as bad as that, i would make sure that its not suffering from that amd bug that doesn't always switch the cards over from the apu to dedicated or switch the apu off 

 

make sure all your drivers are upto date and run a disk check and defrag of your drive

well yes he doesn't get 60 outside cities but outside cities he is running 40-60 fps

 

Also i have tried overclocking the cpu but my bios doesn't allow me and i haven't found eny program to do it whit

Ok. I do have drivers up to date and i will defrag the disk.

How do i check for this bug because it would make sence since it feels like its running on the APU only.

Ye I am waiting for the first full release of dayz SA and especially for the vehicles and the new engine. But it would be nice to find a solution for Dayz mod so i could play it ATM before Dayz SA is gonna be fun :)

Thank you i got it working. I just used MSI afterburner and i clocked my gpu core clock and memory clock to the max and used the hardware monitor on my second screen and i can see that whit max clocks on my GPU it runs on 60 degrees celsius. I also disabled dual graphics witch meby helped.

DayZ Standalone has a fair amount of different graphical settings which you can tweak. Some of them make a huge difference to your average FPS, some of them make little or no difference to your FPS. Knowing which is which can help you get optimal FPS for your system while keeping some integrity in terms of display.

First, within the DayZ game or menu screen navigate to options and then video. Now use the below descriptions to help you decide what to set them to.

Video

Overall Quality Ignore this one, its the presets for low, medium and high.
Rendering Resolution This one depends on your monitor resolution. If you are trying to gain FPS but you are playing on a large monitor (EG 1920 x 1080) you may want to try set this anywhere from 100% to 83%. Going lower than this severely affects the quality of the display in the game, as a last resort after trying all the other options, you could try setting this as low as 50%. May or may not resemble potato graphics.
Brightness This is down to preference, I like ~50%. Does not affect FPS.
Gamma Again this is down to preference. I stick with ~50% but adjusting this to ~75% at night time can help you see clearer in the dark. Does not affect FPS.

Textures

Video Memory set to Auto, simple.
Texture Detail Textures in DayZ make a big difference. Setting this to Very Low can gain you a few frames but it makes the models look kind of plastic. I like Normal.
Texture Filtering This texture setting only affects display at certain angles. Its not that noticeable and doesnt gain many frames. Set to disabled.

Quality

Objects Object Quality is intensive in DayZ. Setting this Very Low can gain you a few frames but again, it makes models look rubbish. I like Normal.
Terrain More frames to be gained here, set this to Very Low to remove almost all of the foliage on the ground and gain you some frames. This can make the many fields of Chernarus feel a bit sparse so I would recommended Low.
Clouds Clouds in DayZ are extremely detailed and move with the weather. Set this to disabled to gain a few frames.
Shadows Shadows are a nice touch, setting this to Disabled will remove shadows all together and gain you a few frames. No shadows at all can feel a little unrealistic so I would say keep them on at Very Low.

Rendering

Anti aliasing This graphical feature basically makes jagged lines smoother. If youre struggling for frames, you can do without. Set this to Very Low. I recommend normal because I prefer things to look smooth.
Alpha to Coverage This affects the display of greenery like trees and grass. Turning it on adds a sort-of blur effect which makes foliage look nicer. You can do without, set this to Disabled.
Edge Smoothing This is post processing anti aliasing. Basically anti aliasing the edges again. There are a few different options here. Disabled gives the best FPS boost. I recommend FXAA Normal. MXAA gives better results but is more intensive. FXAA is very similar to MXAA quality but is less intensive.
Ambient Occlusion Set this to Disabled in certain situations this will give you a good FPS boost.
Postprocess Quality This one adds another sort-of blur effect which is supposed to make things look realistic. I don;t like it, set to Disabled to gain a few frames.
Bloom Set the slider to 0.
Rotation Blur Set the slider to 0.

Hopefully the above explanations will help you gain a better insight into what these options actually mean. If all you care about is pure performance gains then obviously almost everything will be set to Disabled or Very Low. But beware, it makes the game look rubbish.
Steam Launch Options for DayZ Standalone

Steams launch options allow you to supersede the internal settings of whichever game they are applied too. To access launch options, you need to right-click on DayZ (or any game) within steam and select settings. Now select launch options and you will be presented with a single line text-box. There are a few different launch options that are useful here.

-nosplash removes the Bohemia Interactive splash page, letting you get into the game faster.
-skipintro - skips the intro, getting you into the game faster.
-noPause keeps the game running while minimized or not focused.
-world=*empty disables the map from loading on launch, meaning you get into the game launcher quicker, but loading the game will take longer.
-cpuCount=8 set this to how many cores your CPU has. Most systems are either 2 (dual-core), 4 (quad-core), or 8 (octa-core).
-maxMem =8192 set this to the total amount of RAM your system has, 2048 for 2GB, 4096 for 4GB, 8192 for 8GB.
-window - launches the game in windowed mode, if thats something youre looking for.
-noborder - launches the game in border-less windowed mode.
-exThreads=7 - set this to 0,1,3 or 7 this is the amount of threads your CPU uses. Defaults to 3 for dual-core, or 7 for quad-core.

Feel free to copy and paste the below launch options into the box, but importantly make sure you change cpuCount=4 and maxMem=8192 to reflect your own system!

Remember,

cpuCount 2 (dual-core), 4 (quad-core), or 8 (octa-core).

maxMem - 2048 for 2GB, 4096 for 4GB, 8192 for 8GB.

So your launch options within the box should look something like this: -cpuCount=4 -maxMem=8192 -skipintro -nosplash -nosplash -noPause
DayZ Configuration Files for FPS Boost

There are a few files which can be tweaked on your system that will give you a performance boost in DayZ Standalone. However, there is a reason that these options cannot be tweaked from the in-game menu and that is that tweaking these settings can make your gameplay experience unstable and potentially ruin your experience. You have been warned!

First of all you want to locate My Documents\Dayz\Dayz.cfg. You can edit this file in notepad or any other text editor. Open it up and edit the following:

GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1 - set this to 1.
GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1 - set this to 1.

Now you want to open another file, you can locate it at: My Documents\Dayz\<name> (where <name> is your DayZ Profile name). You can edit this file in notepad or any other text editor. Open it up and edit the following:

sceneComplexity=100000 - this number affects your object details. Setting it anywhere from 50000 to 15000 can gain you a few frames.
Default Values: Very Low = 200000
shadowZDistance=50 this number affects the distance at which shadows are drawn, setting this to a lower value will increase FPS.
Default Values: Very Low = 100;
preferredObjectViewDistance=500 - this number affects the distance in metres that the engine will draw objects. A lower number will greatly improve performance. Setting this below 800 makes you vulnerable to taking fire from invisible enemies that havent been rendered on your screen yet.
Default Values: Very Low = 800
viewDistance=500 this number affects the distance at which you will be able to see objects. A lower number will increase performance, but setting it below 800 will mean that you may not be able to see incoming threats like players or zombies in the distance.
Default Values: Very Low = 1000

Solid State Drive

Having DayZ installed on a Solid State Drive will give you a tremendous performance boost, not in terms of FPS but in loading times of both the game and its assets. Dean Rocket Hall has specifically spoke about this on Reddit that the biggest performance boost you can achieve in DayZ would be through installing DayZ on a SSD. Solid State Drives are much more expensive than regular HDDs and normally have a much smaller capacity. If youre lucky enough to have an SSD on your system and you would like to move DayZ onto it, its very simple to do.

Move DayZ On to my Solid State Drive (SSD)

Open Steam, navigate to steam -> settings.
Click the Downloads tab in the middle-left.
Under Content Libraries click Steam Library Folders.
Use the drop-down menu to select your SSD. On my own system my SSD is C:/ while steam is installed on my D:/ Drive.
Under your SSD Drive, make a new folder and name it Steam or something similar.

Now that Steam has a drive on both your normal HDD and your speedy SSD,when you download / install DayZ through Steam youll be given the option to install it to your SSD.

Dont want o uninstall DayZ? Use a program called Steam Mover which will move games to your SSD and back again very easily.

DayZ On a RAM disk?

A RAM disk is basically a Virtual Drive running straight off your RAM making it extremely fast (faster than an SSD). This means your game, the map and the assets will all load very quickly. RAM disks however can be a little complex, are volatile and youll need at least 16GB of RAM to run DayZ comfortably on a RAM disk. The performance gains above an SSD are minimal, but if youre the type of person than wants the best of the best then a RAM Disk is probably for you. Im not going to list the instructions here because there are many different methods of creating a RAM Disk, have a look on YouTube and youll find instructions.
