So I've always been able to run games perfectly fine in the past with the exact same build that I have now, but I've noticed overtime that over the past year I haven't been able to run games as smoothly as I used to.

The main game that brought this to my attention is DayZ, I've been able to play games such as Battlefield 3 with maxed out settings with little to no lag in the past, whereas I'm only getting like 17-20fps on DayZ which is nowhere near as demanding as BF3, even on the lowest settings.

My system build is as follows

AMD Radeon HD 6870
Intel i5 760 @ 2.80GHz
4GB RAM
1TB HDD

Any help would be appreciated guys

Drivers are all updated :\

Doubt the PC components are damaged either, had a look through them recently to see if that was the problem

DayZ standalone is currently a poorly optimised mess, I would not be surprised if this performance right now was accurate to the true performance of these parts.


Your Processor and GPU are getting dated so you may have to start toning down settings as well but still my earlier point stands.
