Hardware evalutation

[Varadain 3]

So I am aware that alot of it is mostly due to Arma 2 and that the mod is not very optimized. But I am curious about the feedback I can get about the hardware I am using and see if theres any suggestion on upgrades or anything that could increase framerate stability.

I currently get these frames

Outside of towns - 45 - 55 FPS

Small towns - 30 - 40 FPS

Large towns - 20 - 30 FPS

 

Now I am aware that these are pretty good but being OCD and noticing this and also having a desire to stream I wanted to ask people with more knowledge than I what I could do to push more performance.

I am currently running RAMdisk and have optimized my settings.

The hardware I am running is;

Any advice would be very welcome and I appreciate the time anyone takes to respond to this.

Your CPU is making high results on benchmarks so don't worry about it. Anything above 30 FPS is very normal in ArmA 2.

Streaming has never taken more than 2-3 frames off of my game. My only Stream complaints have been audio-related, because I don't know how to mess with a sound board.

Is there any specific reason that the cities make it drop so substantially and that I could perhaps bump it to 40 - 45. It gets pretty bad and makes it hard to handle high stress situations at 20 frames.
