GrumpyGat (DayZ) 497 Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) Yeah it looks like your system is likely the culprit. Not sure what to suggest other than to google some guides that will help get your settings more inline with your systems limitations.

ttghusky@live.com.au 10 Posted August 11, 2013 The GPU is old, it wont be able to sustain a steady FPS that is playable, I suggest upgrading it (depending on the brand, you may have to upgrade to a new computer)Also, the CPU is rather slow, it's only got 2 physical cores, whereas nowadays, they usually have 4, this will affect Arma's performance.

PK Richie 507 Posted August 11, 2013 Your connection is decent, a lot better than mine, it won't cause lag if you choose a server with a decent ping :)Your CPU is quite poor, that will cause low FPS, You'll get between 20-25 FPS because ArmA is heavy on the CPU more than GPU. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
