How much FPS can I get with a intel Pentium G 3220 dual core CPU? @3hz

[King Hadu]

I have a Pentium G 3220 and 4GB of DDR3 RAM. Have an extra 2GB stick I can toss in if I want. I also have a Radeon HD 4870 video card

Now I already plan to buy a new GPU so thats not my concern right now its the CPU. I am very concerned if this CPU would be able to run DayZ I didn't want to spend money on a new CPU at all. Just wanted to buy a new video card alone

In any event can my current old setup run day z? how much FPS can my CPU give? I know in battlefield 3 my PC can dip to the 25 fps range sometimes in massive huge maps.

over 9000

One thing I hate about this game is it uses a old nasty stinking trash Engine. Its unlikely a dual core CPU would ever get good performance with this useless engine.

That CPU is really low end. I wouldn't even try it.. ( don't kill the messenger)

[mothersFINEST]

I think its playable on low to medium settings, but the game will look awful. Its just an expectation

[King Hadu]

Hmmm would an AMD FX 6300 CPU work? or should I buy a 3.5GHZ core i3?

I dont know about FPS but You have almost good enough processor to run this game as recommended >>>>> https://www. cpubenchmark.net/compare. php?cmp[]=1472&cmp[]=788 (remove space)

^ nah my 3220 is the haswell Pentium G its an i3 with hyper threading disabled so it acts as 2 cores instead of 4. The i3 I realize now is much better because of 4 threads

Id recommend intel cpu's for the arma engine, they just seem to do a bit better. get an i5 and overclock it, i have yet to hear of a game that supports hyper threading, making i7s not worth while for a machine build solely for gaming.

^ I don't have money for an i5 I could afford the 4150 i3 which scores as much as the core i5 2300 which is the recommended CPU for Day Z 2

My friend is running a i7 4770k and a GTX 980. I run a AMD FX 8350 & SLi 660 Ti's and we get pretty much the exact same performance even though his system way better than mine. It's just the game not being optimized.

[Ganjadalf]

Right now it doesn`t matter. I have an i3 and my friend has an i7. I have a AMD 7750 he has a GTX980 and we pull the same frames..

Im running it on c2d 2.66, gtx 285 and 4 gb ram.
Turn off all programmes, set all on very low except objects quality which is set to veryhigh, take 100% resolution and you can play with minor freezes (doesnt happen often)

I think having a good CPU and Hard-drive is important to get better FPS, moreso than a graphics card. Any recent quad-core will outperform a dual-core, regardless of clocking. A fast SSD is better to render the world faster, as well as, now that I think about it, faster RAM. My friend made a system with an i7 4790k and GTX 760 SLi, and it's always over 50 FPS in the busiest towns. He also has a Samsung 840 EVO that it's running on.

My laptop and his old build run it about the same, but his old system has a Radeon HD 7950 and Q6600 Quad-core, and he gets better frames outside of towns, but it's about the same in-town due to a lack of SSD in that system. My laptop has a Mobility Radeon HD 5870 and i5 460M, and have the WD Black2 120GB SSD/1TB HDD dual drive.

So, to sum it up, your video card is comparible to mine, and should be OK in most areas aside the big towns, but the CPU is just no where near capable, and can only recommend the i5 if it comes with a quad-core and not a dual-core, as well as getting a fast SSD to go with it. Overall, though, your entire system is undoubtably a bottle-neck, and upgrading to a completely new system would be viable. You can build a new system for like, $300-$500 using some of your older parts, but the CPU, Motherboard, RAM, and possibly PSU will need to be upgraded.

OR, you could wait for a new engine to come out for DayZ that will be more optimised.
