DayZ really laggy?!

I just bought DayZ and it runs horribly! I don't know why though?!
Specs:
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560
AMD FX(tm)-6100 Six-Core Processor
6GB RAM
500W PSU
1TB HDD
 


If that is the problem how would I fix it?
 


the GPU never passed 50%
 

It means that your CPU is bottlenecking the GPU.
Dayz is unoptimized, your CPU is weak. Even the i7 and i5 only get 25-40 fps in cities.

 


Very weird! I changed servers and my FPS has risen? Can servers lag you?
 


Wait... My CPU is pretty good though, I would think my GFX is bottle necking ...
 


As the game updates and gets better, will they make it less heavy on one piece of hardware and balance it out?
So it can run smoothly for a lot more people?
 
@icarsis
no.. the fx 6100 is a weak CPU, it's not a true 6 core, and has lower instructions per cycle/clock/seconds compared to i3/fx-6300. I can't say about the server can make lower fps

and also please notice the difference between lag and low fps. Lag = connection/network problem. Low FPS = poor hardware, which is your problem
 


What do you prefer AMD or INTEL and why? I never got the reasoning! (Solution after this answer) :)
 

no it's not... read this. It has 3 modules, consisting with 2 integer and 1 FP cores per module, the cache and the pipeline is also shared within the module...

 

yes that means not a true 6 core processor, what am i missing here? threads are logical, cores are physical, 1 true core means 1 integer and 1 FP and the pipeline and cache must not be shared. Even the windows 8.1 stated that fx 6xxx has 3 cores, and fx-8xxx has 4 cores
