    Hey guys, Just had my clevo p170em arrive!

    I have installed a few games but one I'm having issues with is ARMA II Dayz...

    Currently I'm getting around 20-30 fps on the high preset with no major noticeable differences if I drop the settings. I'm using the BETA drivers from Nvidea and I have white listed the games.

    Any help would be great
    Cheers Guys
    Edd


    -Edit:
    My specs are:
    CPU: 3610QM
    GPU: 680M
    RAM: 8GB VENGEANCE CORSAIR

    that mod is heavily CPU bound from my experience. make sure you have the latest version of the game and mod as this lessens the dependency on the CPU. Ive never seen that mod run truly well on anything. At least not the way that something with that level of graphics should run .
