I got my Sapphire Dual-X 7970 about a week ago and i I finally got around to playing Arma and DayZ. I started playing and I noticed that its normally around 50 FPS on high, but in towns it drops very low, I'd say about 30. I read benchmarks and it seems I should run very well, as at 1920x1080 it runs at 60+ at least, and I play at 1600x900, so my results should be much better. Any help?

SPECS:
i7 3770 3.4GHz
Corsair CX750
Sapphire 7970 Dual-X
Kingston 2x4GB DDR3
Western Digital 2TB HDD

make sure that you turn off all anti-aliasing as it will kill your frames, also turn off post processing. I have a very similar system (i5 3570k + Gigabyte 7970) and i get like 60-70 fps and like 45-55 fps in towns. Also note that Cherno is the most laggy place in the entire game and 30 fps is not unusual there.
