DayZ Mod, looking for a computer configuration.

Good day/ night,

I've recently started playing DayZ (the Arma 2 OA). I was wondering if any of you guys could offer me a good computer configuration that will be under 1400$ and will run DayZ at more or less 60 FPS.

P.S. Can anyone tell me if more RAM will make a difference in this games performance? 16GB vs 8GB?

Thank you in advance!

Welcome to the forums! Where are you located? That'll help with budget. And generally speaking, 8GB is more than enough for gaming with 16GB being a good option if you have space in your budget.

My arsenal: i7-9700k Gaming Rig, an iPhone, and Stupidity.

I couldn't live with less then 16GB. I regularily use up 10GBs with no games running. (Major tab fiend here)

 

Anyways, back to OP

 

We need a location, resolution and what settings you would like to play at in order to make the optimal system.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

I want to play at max resolution at a 1080x2*** (idk the last tree numbers) wanting to have a easy time spotting people and having my textures turned at least above normal.

If you could get the last three numbers, that would help. We still need country (for currency conversion, etc).

60 fps on DayZ? When quantum computers reach that point I'll let you know. Current technology can't cope with the really terrible optimisation of the Arma engine.

Nothing will run it at a constant 60, but CPU is extremely important for this game. It only really utilizes one core so you want an intel chip that's overclocked as much as you can push it.

The sad thing is that graphically the optimization is fine... they just won't add any measurable amount of multicore support. The only real problem performance wise is that it only uses one core.

What?

You know the arma engine only uses up to 2gb ram and vram

And itll run like crap on any sistem

And i heard somwhere itll run better on older hardware.

And as other people sad it utilizes only 1 core

Also gpu and cpu usage is at about 40%
