    Ok, so I had ordered a Gaming Laptop (Sager Np9150 and I LOVE it)
    With these specs,

    GTX 680m
    i7 3630QM @ 2.4 GHZ
    8 Gigs of RAM

    DayZ is a mod for a game called Arma 2 If you didn't know.

    I've tried doing optimizations and changing settings but only manage to get around a 25-40 FPS. (Changing from low to high doesn't help that much.)

    To compare to another game I get a solid 55 FPS on Far Cry 3 Ultra
    Any thoughts?

    Thanks in advance,
    Vex

    Arma 2 performs terribly even on many desktop systems, certainly nowhere near what it should be performing like. The game is poorly optimized or something else is wrong, the Mod is unlikely to be the problem. I don't know what to suggest for I completely gave up on Arma 2 ages ago due to exactly that.
