Really low FPS

[ShockiNN 0]

Ok, so basically, before i bought this game (arma2: combined ops) i went to systemrequirementslab.com en I was over the recommanded system requirements. I went into game, set my resolution to 600x480 en everything on low and i still get like 15fps or 10 fps..

System set up:

- AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual core Processor 4600+ 2.4 GHz

- 2 gb ram

- ATI Radeon HD 6700

so how is this happening?

these syst req on canurunit are really old and imo totally useless.

next time either ask someone or search for simular pc builds running this game, as the website is not very accuarate at all

Does normal Arma 2 (singleplayer) run normal for you? Does it give you a normal framerate when you play a singleplayer mission?

My setup:

- AMD Athlon 64 4000+ (singlecore)

- 2gb ram

- Geforce 9800 GT

I can play DayZ; sometimes I have framerate-issue's. But only on crowded servers, with lots of people online, and in city's. The buildings etc. make my framerate go down a lot.

And some servers just give me bad framerate, no matter what. I just switch to a different server. Usually I have a decent framerate, good enough to play the game.

I mention the above because your setup is better than mine. You should be able to run the game better than I do. Did you try different servers? Maybe it's just a server issue.

Your processor and (especially) RAM are pretty terrible.

Can't say for the graphics card because I'm not familiar with the brand.

I don't get how you or the other guy could even start the game, I have:

AMD 7550 dual core 2.5ghz

6.0Gb Ram

SSD drives

HD7770 Video card

And I can only get 30fps no matter what the settings are, The problem really is this game KILLS CPU... I have an AMD Athlon 7550 2.5ghz dual core and it's maxed out 100pct of the time I'm playing... NEVER drops below 100% usage EVER. And my CPU is WAY better than yours... I've actually been toying with the idea of upgrading JUST my CPU as it's the only thing maxed out, you can get a 6 core 2.xghz AMD for like 100 bucks at this point with a fan from tiger direct.

Graphics card never really even gets loud and hardly ever gets maxed out.

I have 6gb of ram and I've never seen it using more than 3-4, 2 is DEF. not enough. You MIGHT be able to get away with JUST upgrading the ram.

See the amount of objects and size of the map/draw distance (which is fixed) will kill your CPU no matter what the resolution and graphic settings, frankly you prob. won't have much worse FPS with the setting turned up a LOT higher...

I get almost no difference if frame rate with EVERYTHING maxed out to the hilt and EVERYTHING turned down to the lowest... CPU just can't keep up with all the objects/distance.

If you have any interest in the standalone though I have a feeling it will be a little MORE demanding as they're saying it's going to be based on arma 2.5 whatever that means lol.

For a little more perspective, I bought a laptop with a dedicated video card thinking that would be fine, it chokes the CPU so bad the game is barely playable, I had to uninstall TONS of software and features before I even got 15fps, and it's a ATI HD6x intigrated card with 1.65Ghz Dual Core AMD and 4GB of ram...

Same deal, graphics details are all handled pretty well by the video card but the CPU chokes HARD on the game in any resolution or settings... just too much info for the CPU to deal with even with the GPU piggybacking...

There may be a setting somewhere to force GPU rendering or something that MIGHT increase your playability but I doubt it... this game needs a beefy CPU more than it needs a beefy video card or ram.
