Low FPS since first 0.63 Stable patch
Need More Info, NormalPublic

Description

My DayZ config folder

Hello,
Ever since BETA build went to Stable I've been having massive FPS issues, in cities I used to have 100+ FPS like 98% of the time and now I can drop down to 50 and even lower, sometimes even outside of cities it's hard to keep it over 100 which had never been issue in previous Stress Tests.

When EXP Beta was in Stress Test and Experimental build the FPS was fine but once it made to Stable build it was messed up, not just for me, for many people.

i5-6600k@4,5GHz
GTX 1080
16GB DDR4 3000MHz
Both Windows and DayZ are on an SSD
NVIDIA drivers version 416.94
Windows 10 Pro 64bit, Version 1803, OS build 17134.345

What I've tried so far:

Trying older NVIDIA drivers - didn't work
Verified files on Steam and deleted DayZ folder in Documents - didn't work
Uninstall and reinstalled DayZ - didn't work

So I found something very strange aswell when testing, I used to have 100+ all the time but now the norm is like 60-70 and sometimes higher but for some reason sometimes it's ultra low, down to 40s and even changing graphics settings doesn't change anything.

When I first finished testing different settings inside Cherno, server restarted/crashed and after that I had that super low fps.

Before server restart: YOUTUBE VIDEO LINK
Poor preset: 94 FPS
Low preset: 80 FPS
Medium preset: 83 FPS
High preset: 83 FPS
Extreme: 63 FPS
Extreme with HW AA turned from High to Low: 84 FPS

After server restart: YOUTUBE VIDEO LINK
Poor preset: 57 FPS
Low preset: 55 FPS
Medium preset: 56 FPS
High preset: 53 FPS
Extreme: 50 FPS
Extreme with HW AA turned from High to Low and Clouds disabled: 46 FPS

Also did a FPS test in Elektro, YOUTUBE VIDEO LINK, varied from 60 to 90 while I used to have stable 100+ inside Elektro, anywhere.

These were all tested on Trump's Wall 100 player server but I have the same thing happening on any other and official servers.

If there are any tests or information I can provide, ask me away, I just want my fps back to 100+

Hello DUHDUM and thank you for the report.
Is your system overclocked in any way? And if you turn off every single program running on your computer, then launch DayZ, does the issue still persist?
Regards,
Geez

Hey,

My CPU is overclocked to 4,5GHz and yes I've tried turning off every program I could, no help.

Also had wrong link for the After server restart video if it matters for you guys, same spot but alot lower fps after server restart

Thank you for the update DUHDUM.
If you reset the CPU overclock to default, do you still experience this issue?
Regards,
Geez

As expected, removing my OC lowered fps

Just outside of Svetlo lost about 30fps, didn't really bother to try in Cherno.

Even at 1080p and low settings I can barely get over 90fps inside of Cherno with 4,5GHz OC.

So I was testing around in the new Stable patch and seemed slightly better performance, I joined a high pop server right after a restart and I would start out with rather high fps in Cherno but after few minutes my FPS and GPU usage dropped quite low: https://youtu.be/w_TQP-fTAX8

After that I spawned in Svetlojarsk and my FPS and GPU usage stayed high there, this kind of FPS performance I used to have in Elektro and Cherno aswell, don't know about GPU usage since I never checked it before. https://youtu.be/AoCtvecDQTo

After that I tried Elektro and also saw FPS and GPU usage dropping after few minutes. https://youtu.be/vnqMFgSpDMo

Don't know if that GPU usage means that much but it seemed odd that in Svetlo it would almost always 99% and maintain high FPS but would drop so low in Cherno and Elektro.

Any development on this?

Hello DUHDUM.
Are you still experiencing this issue in the 1.0 version?
