Hi, I've built my own AMD build and am now moving over to using Intel CPUs due to performance. Just wanted to ask, what will FPS and level of detail in DayZ change from this build:


Motherboard: A88X-g45 gaming

Processor: AMD A10-5800k Quad-core 4.0 ghz

HDD: WD Blue 1TB 7200rpm

RAM: hyperx savage 16GB 2400mhz

GPU: R9-270X 4GB WINDFORCE

PSU: EVGA-GS 850W


to this?


Motherboard: ASUS Z97-A LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Processor: Xeon Processor E3-1231 v3 3.4ghz

HDD: WD Blue 1TB 7200rpm

RAM: hyperx savage 16GB 2400mhz

GPU: R9-270X 4GB WINDFORCE

PSU: EVGA-GS 850W







Thanks!

Review after review has shown that anything over the i5-4690k in games is pretty much wasted money. If you look at the advice posted here by numerous people, we all pretty much say the same thing.

Its your money though. If you want to buy a higher end CPU, that is your choice.

I wish I could help you with that frame number, but until it gets reviewed somewhere that I trust, I do not have any info on how it will perform.

I did find this:
Dayz Standalone's recommended system requirements are:

Intel Core i5-2300 (2.8 GHz)
Windows 7 x64
4 GB RAM
GeForce GTX 560 or Radeon HD 7790
DirectX 9
10 GB Hard Disk Space

Even the CPU I suggested should be overkill for the DayZ.
That CPU is like way beyond what any game will benefit from.

Step back down to an I5-4690K, and you will have 99% of the CPU processing any game needs. Other than the CPU, I would say you've got a pretty snappy system laid out there.

I went looking for reviews to get an idea on how the game would play on that video card, and it seems that its still in development, and I didn't find any reviews. So I cannot tell you anything about the FPS.

From watching videos and streams everyone who has the best FPS has around 100 frames... whilst I would have about 30-50. AND they are all using Intel CPUs like the i7s and Xeons. Whilst I have one of THE WORST processors. I would just like to know the frame difference.
