Mos1ey 6301 Posted November 6, 2012 It should run pretty smoothly on normal settings with a couple of things bumped up to high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JamesButlin 108 Posted November 6, 2012 Yeah the Arma II engine isn't very forgiving with multi-core CPU's, until one of the newest Arma II patches I was better off disabling the other cores! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xxdagamexx 3 Posted November 6, 2012 Thanks everyone for your help. When I get everything setup and installed , what is better, Private Hive or Regular Servers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because my friend has pretty much the same set up as this guy and he runs it all high no probs. Smooth as you like, even in cities even when recording.

You know what screen res he plays in?I don't have an SSD, does it really make that much difference in ArmA?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rooneye 135 Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) Really? I would have thought the CPU would still bottleneck TBH. You know what screen res he plays in?I don't have an SSD, does it really make that much difference in ArmA??He plays in 1080p i think thats 1900x1080?Well here's a guy on Youtube with same GPU as the OP (all though it is over clocked, but he does have only half as much ram as OP) and same CPU, he has only 8gb of RAM and im not sure if he even has an SSD. He's recording in full 1080p AND he's using SweetFX which add extra graphics effects moer anti-aliasing stuff etc. (therefore using more system power i would imagine). Now he does have AA and Post Processing on Normal, not sure if he has that because he doesnt like the blur stuff and maybe the SweetFX takes care of AA, im not sure, though I would imagine even if those setting do slow it down a bit while recording in 1080p if you arent recording I would think you'd be able to turn them on no probs. I dont think he has an SSD either as he records HUGE 260gb files, so I imagine he has a large HHD. So maybe with the SSD he'd be able to turn them to high I dunno. But yeah man SSD really do improve performance a lot from what ive seen.EDIT: Also i remember watching a FrankieOnPCin1080p video about dayz. he has a beast system, but he was saying friends of his with worse system specs seemed to get better frames in cities sometimes, so he said he thought it was quite random and luck was involved a little xD Edited November 7, 2012 by Rooneye Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamestrendall 38 Posted November 7, 2012 3.4Ghz phenom II x4 965 BEHD7770 2Gb Asus version GPU @ cant remember stock speeds think its around 1100Mhz16Gb corsair vegance RAMFoxconn AD9A-S mobo1000W Corsair PSUI run the game at 60 FPS solid everything very high 1080p across 3screens, It does depend on the server you play on tho and how many zed's are around! lowest i get is 25 when a server needs a restart and im in a high populated townIf i OC,GPU @ 2500MhzCPU @ 4.2GhzFSB @ 200.02-20.5Then i never drop below 45fps anywhere! i hardly ever run those speeds tho i dont that as a test to see whats the very best i can get!

sniperdoc 251 Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) mZLY: Really? Maybe it's because I turned AA off and AF at the lowest setting and I left shadows at medium, but I get 45fps and have everything running on High on this with stock settings and a rez of 1650x1080:QX9650780i SLIGTX2808GB DDR2-800Standard 7200rpm HDDThat system the OP put in there, I thought he was just bragging... that should have ZERO problems playing Arma2/DayZ.And yes... I hear Arma 2 is VERY HDD dependent. So, using a SSD should be awesome. Edited November 7, 2012 by sniperdoc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DazTroyer 227 Posted November 7, 2012 The OP's system is better than mine and i get 60fps in the trees/fields and 25-30fps in towns, it still varies depending on what servers i play on and sometimes has the odd freeze. I've read of folk with top end systems complaining of bad fps on here so its hard to say for certain, one way or the other.i5 3450 3.2GHZGTX 560ti 4484GB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2ugly 12 Posted November 7, 2012 There was absolutely no reason for this guy to ask, except to show off his build, and he could have done that a different way. Nice rig and it was way to slow to play this game...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
