The synopsis:
DayZ under statistics will shows that I have 100+FPS but the game play is not smooth. It’s not a stutter like the one mentioned with inventory but it’s a frame time issue it seems. I have tested a couple CPUs, and a few GPUs on fresh installs of windows with the latest drivers and for some reason the game can not hold consistent frame times each time I have tested.
I have been testing this issue for 3 years with different hardware - including upgraded cooling, power supplies, higher internet connections, lower ping - dedicated servers.
Nothing seems to fix this issue.
The only 2 pieces of information I have consistently found is that when you graph the frame times, the pacing is off and every configuration associated with an AMD GPU or CPU has issues. (You can find many of these instances on the DayZ discord in the troubleshoot channel, and Reddit as well)
I have tested DayZ with 3060, 3080, 4090 GPUs
I have tested with 5600x and 5900x.
I have increased RAM from 16gbs to 32GBs at 4000mhz (DOCP enabled)
I have also tried limiting frames using driver side limiter, RTSS and neither perform well. The frametime grapgh evens out but the gameplay is still not smooth.
This may be entirely AMDs fault but time and time again I am stumped, and only find forums and questions from people running AMD hardware
My current system and important settings :
4090 + 5900x 32gbs of 4000mhz ram 1200watt power supply. Monitor - 1440p, 165hz, Gsync compatible Max temps I get are 75c
SETTINGS:
Nvidia Control Panel
• Vsync -Gsync -power management - Maximum performance.
In bios I have the overdrive on - to allow CPU to run at full capacity ( I have seen improved performance from this)
DOCP enabled
