the r9 280x is the equivalent of the 7970 and the 770 is the equivalent of the 680. you'll be wanting the r9 280x, especially with BF4 receiving mantle support in december. arma/dayz on the other hand isn't very GPU intensive, a better processor will make a whole world of difference more than a new GPU. i upgraded from an fx 6300 to a 4670k and the difference it made in arma's performance was like night and day

uhhh, was this thread submitted 6 months ago and just now uploaded?

ibuypower consistently mislabels their CPUs as a gimmick for uninformed buyers http://ark.intel.com/products/48505 says dual core with hyperthreading, not exactly a quad core

exactly. the closest we get to this in the mod is ghillie suits, but only because they cant be removed from bodies. in SA i'm sure we'll get attached to our favorite clothes, but in the end its just gear you can find again, not something that would set you apart from a fresh spawn with good luck

why don't we just take taviana, and push it somewhere else?

Name it "The Skadovsk" and you will have tenfold the love and support you already receive

what may be of more use is your ingame video settings, and also your average GPU usage ingame which can be found through a program like MSI Afterburner. This will help us differentiate CPU or GPU bottlenecks

without a doubt, a DayZ clone will reach Arma 3. however, it will be nowhere near the quality and level of detail of the standalone. it won't be expensive, so why not just buy both?

newsflash 20 fps drops arent uncommon in arma 2 even for beast computers, and is easily playable due to the slow pace. i actually find that its the only game i can play at 30 fps or less and not be completely useless. but now, about the food...stop letting bronies poison our food supplies.

tents can be hard to find if you know how to hide them right

this site might help a bit. usually a first time gpu upgrade should come from the value chart before you start understanding things and make decisions on your own. http://videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_value.html

i would love something similar to the secret labs in the STALKER series, maybe one in each major town or make new research facilities in barren areas to attract players to things besides airfields and pvp cities. Namalsk had an underground bunker similar to what i'm talking about, so it's not impossible.

ASUS monitors are godly and pretty damn cheap. they come in just about any size, but be sure to get one with 2ms response

i take it you havent been mega punched by one for 9k blood yet, have you?
