Literal 1 FPS

[CrescentGent]

So, I have no idea what's happened as of recent. Last time I played, I was perfectly fine with FPS, about 70+ on anywhere from Medium to Extreme. Now all of a sudden, I'm getting literally 1 FPS, it'll play 1 frame, freeze, player another frame and endlessly repeat. I tried my best to alter settings, but no luck.

Updated my drivers recently, so I'm ruled that out as the possible cause.

Any ideas?

Specs:

• i5 3470 @ 3.20 GHz
• RX 470 4GB GPU
• 16GB RipJaw RAM

Might sound like a dumb question,

Is there a possibility anything has broken recently? And are you on a laptop or PC?

No such thing as a dumb question, lad.

PC, other games work fine so I assume nothing has gone caput?

Honestly if other games are running fine it's more than likely a software issue. Try verifying game files first. If that doesn't work you could potentially try re-installing the game. If it's not DayZ itself it could potentially be a mod with poor files so you could try verifying the mods we use on DayZRP through the DayZSA launcher.

If none of those work, I'd check to make sure your mods and DayZ are installed onto the same drive to help it run smoothly.

Alrighty, I have recently just done a complete wipe of my PC but I'll go ahead and verify my files regardless just in case.

Does this happen all the time now or just starts randomly when you play?

Check temperatures while playing with HWMonitor

All the time now, last time I played was a few days ago? Was perfectly fine, did nothing to any settings or anything and here we are

Just about to do that, uno momento

@Roland

CPU temps: 

 

GPU temps: 

[Eddie]

Yeah as Roland stated, definitely check the temps. If it's getting poor airflow and the temps get crazy it will definitely cause issues. But as you stated, it doesn't do this with other games so this is very odd. 

[Roland]

Surely that's not while playing

I did take a screenshot while playing, but apparently it didn't register, sigh.

1 sec.

@Roland

As painful as it was running around at 1-2 fps, these are the values. It crashed my PC twice, so apologies for the delay.

 

This is after about 3-4 minutes of running around.

How old is your system? I.E when did you get the parts?

I got the parts a couple years back I believe from a friend, they had used the parts a couple years before that. 

I'm playing DBD at locked 60 right now.

Even back when I had an old Intel desktop in 2015, I still got 10-15-20 fps, not 1-2

Tried everything, still not sure what to do

The fact that your GPU temperatures are the same makes me think it's a driver issue, because it seems your GPU is not being used. Even after only 3-4 mins it should have risen at least 5 degrees. Do you have an on-board graphic accelerator by any chance?

I'd love to pretend I knew what this was.

Would you mind elaborating? I'm a bit slow

Your GPU is your graphics card. But sometimes motherboards (the circuit board that everything plugs into) have integrated graphics or the CPU (the computer chipset) have an on-board graphic accelerator, which means they have a very low grade GPU integrated. When an actual graphic card (your Radeon RX 470) driver's are not correctly installed or corrupted, then some games\programs can revert to using the on board or integrated graphics. Since your other games seem to be working fine, I'm thinking maybe there's a very specific graphic setting in DayZ that your GPU drivers don't like but even then it might be far fetched. Do you have any software related to AMD installed like Nvidia has like Geforce Experience?

Before my recent PC wipe, I did but not anymore.

I do recall changing my settings in my BIOS to favor my actual GPU over Integrated. Just checked now and it's stayed the same.

[Guest Generic Name]

So if you don't have any graphics card software installed, is there anything you can think about that could have changed something graphics-related, like installing a new game with a fresh DirectX install?

I don't believe so .. Is it possible that the latest GPU driver is a shitty one? Would going back a driver help do ya think?

[Guest Generic Name]

Won't hurt to try, else I don't know how much more I can help, I'm running out of ideas.

Okay, made some progress. 

I went to Device manager and under display adapters, there are 2 devices. My integrated chipset and my GPU, out of curiosity, I disabled the integrated chipset which turned off my other monitor. I shut down, went into the BIOS and disabled IGP Multi Monitor. Booted back up with only one monitor working and DayZ works as it used to. I tried turning on IGP Multi Monitor again and re-enabled my Integrated chipset, only to find it back playing at 1fps.

no idea where to go from here. How do I disable my IGP while still being able to use two monitors.

P.S. I have one monitor running off HDMI and the other, VGA.

Are both monitors connected to the back of your GPU or one in the GPU and the second on the motherboard's back panel?

[Guest]

You should get a VGA to HDMI dongle for your second monitor and a Display Port cable for your main monitor and have both of your monitors connected to your GPU, this way the monitors only use your GPU and not your IGP.

 

I looked over the RX 470 and saw it doesn't have 2 HDMI ports.
