Hazy graphics.

[SERGEANT]

Just got an Xidex X-8 PC, for the singular purpose of enjoying DayZ at max graphics.

Latest I7 Processor
RTX 3070
SSD
new 4k monitor

Yet everything in DayZ suddenly looks hazy, like im looking at my screen through a foggy pair of glasses.

I should be able to max everything the F out without issue. Am I dong something wrong? I want my crisp colors back/

I assume you have at least 16GIG RAM?

16 SHOULD be enough, although... More is good depepnding if your mainboard can
actually use it. Some are limited so check before you buy.
Quick question. How much stuff do you run in the background? That is more likely
to be the culprit.

I run literally nothing but anti-virus software. I just got my pc delivered by xidex and have installed DayZ, and Hatred only. Its possible my Nvidia control panel is messing things up, but I don't know.

My main board is an MSI MPG Z490 GAMING WIFI board.

16 GB DDR4 3200MHz Memory

My pc is basically a 100% DayZ dedicated platform, so Ill do whatever necessary to make the most of my gaming experience. Any advice on accomplishing this is welcome.

Sounds like you may have an issue in settings. Also with new machines it can
sometimes take a few days to catch up with all the updates.

I built a new rig over Xmas and at first had 16 GIG DDR4 Corsair Vengeance
RAM that worked fine when everything was upgraded. I upped it to 32 GiG
to Future proof it a bit not because it actually needed it.
My GPU is just a GTX 1660. I run the game flat out and still had to cap my
frames @160...
It did however take 2 days to update everything.

Could you share a screenshot of it?

This might be a "dummies" suggestion and if you already did it I apologise, but try to make sure your PC is actually using that brutal 3070 and not the internal video "card" of the CPU.

I've seen that a few times. So you could check two things: First - is the cable to the monitor connected to the outlet of the video card or the mother board? Second - are the Geforce drivers installed and updated?

Other than that, it could possibly be a mismatch between the output of the computer and what the monitor is set up for - it could be so easy that you just need to fiddle with the monitor settings. Also make sure you are using Display Port cable, HDMI won't do for 4K resolution.
