DayZ Standalone Drops frames Bad on R9 270 and A10-5800k

[deitylink4567]

Well, I'm playing DayZ lately, but the game lags really bad and I don't have a clue why! I get about 25FPS when moving around, atleast 30fps when doing nothing, and 12fps when I go into towns like Cherno. It's not overclocked, but when I did overclock it (From 945MHz to 1025MHz) it didn't make that much of a difference. All the settings are down as low as they can get. I know the game is poorly optimized, but I see people running better with worse parts sometimes. Is that just how bad the game is, or am I doing something wrong settings wise? My specs are: GPU: Sapphire R9 270, CPU: A10-5800k, RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4), PSU: EVGA 500w (I don't think the HDD, SSD, And Mobo matter in this situation. If they do, then I will list them if need be.)

Sure you've set bios to run off your pcie graphics? Might be running off the A10.

And have you got the monitor plugged into the mobo or graphics card?

I seem to be having the same problem with Dayz lately. I'm using a Radeon R9 280X which plays every other game game fine with 60+ FPS but with dayz in some places I'm only getting around 20. Not sure if this is an optimization issue or something else?

Start your own thread. Don't try to hijack someone elses'.

Haha. And I checked everything in the bios. It is using my primary GPU and not the CPU integrated one. I have the HDMI plugged into the GPU. I put everything on VERY LOW by using the Overall settings thing and it gave me a slight fps boost to about 4 or 5 more frames, but still nothing to be happy about, especially when it throttles from 30 to 19 which looks terrible.

Look at reviews. Put your pc details into http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=4843&game=DayZ to see what settings to use and what fps to expect.

What cpu temps are you getting?

It's likely a CPU bottleneck. Many games eat AMD CPUs alive.

It says for me, High Settings - This system should be able to play DayZ Standalone smoothly at high settings.
My cpu temps are 40-50 degrees. 55-60 under load.
My GPU temps are 30 degrees. 40 while playing.

I doubt my CPU is bottlenecking it. It's a fairly good CPU. But it could be a possibility. I was going to upgrade to an I5 or I7, but then I would have to change the motherboard and maybe even get a better power supply as well.

No, it's not. It loses out in gaming performance in some games to the ancient Pentium G2120, and in every game to the old-ish i3-3225 (by a wide margin). There's no way to sugar coat it - Your CPU is a potato for gaming.

My brother had a Phenom II X6 1090T - stronger in most ways than the A10-5800K, and it still bottlenecked his GTX 560. Considering your GPU is stronger than his was, and your CPU is weaker, it practically has to be a CPU bottleneck.
