M14x R1 and DayZ

Hello guys/gals.... Use to have an old account here, but forgot username, and email ...

I downloaded Arma II and the DayZ mod, everything boots up fine, and I can play it....but one huge problem...

I'm getting some low fps, I cant seem to get more that 25+ it stays constant about 15-20 on Very High, switch to High get a 1 or 2 fps jump...on low I manage to get 25-30 around there....but the game looks reeeeally bad on low. I turn off AA-and make some stuff low, turn off shadows, and still low fps.

I have it setup on the Nvidia control panel to run on the Nvidia card Arma II and the DLC, I have tried updating my driver to two different updates...and still the same.

Has anyone here ran into some problems with DayZ? I see people on youtube get 30fps on Arma II, maybe it's the mod. I run Crysis 2 with the Dx11 thing or whatever it's call on High with some great fps and RAGE, Borderlands. Run BF3 on some Med/High settings with 40fps.

Maybe it can't be ran good on M14x....

 

you said you set it to the nvidia card, but have you tried whitelisting it as shown as the guide in my sig?

 

Tried what you said, even checked the "Nvidia GPU activity"....and it is indeed running it with the Nvidia graphics processor..Thanks anyways!

 

hmm not sure what could be causing the problem then. Maybe a high temperture problem?

 

Na my R2 doesnt get more than 45FPS of medium, the game is just really badly coded. Hell my desktop with a 3930K and 2x HD7970 struggles to play with decent FPS in some areas lol.

 

I think its just how its coded like Blair287 said.

Hey blair287 how does your dual 7970 run do you like it?
Debating on 680 2gb or 670 4GB sli or 7970 crossfire

 

Make sure that you are using all these settings. Also make sure that you use the DELL.com drivers because they are the ones tested to work better on the machine.
