How do I check whether my PC can run DayZ?
Use the check on this page. It reads your graphics card, CPU threads and memory from the browser and shows the preset, resolution and expected frame rate — no download and no sign-up.
What frame rate should I aim for in DayZ?
60 fps at your monitor's native resolution. Lower the preset first — running below native resolution is more noticeable than reduced shadows.
