Question about graphics for SA

[Deathwind (DayZ) 28]

So when playing Arma DayZ mod, I had to keep my graphics on very low to low settings for the most part or I lagged to the point of black screen or glitch robotic unbearable movements. For standalone, will I be able to play on bearable graphic settings?

I strongly doubt it, as the SA will have more items, better textures, and better graphics...

This, it will be worse...

Think it might average out.  For the Mod I believe most of the calculations is done on the player's end, but the SA will be done mostly on the server end.  It SHOULD be better, but you never know.

what are your specs  ? latest drivers ? no non needed processes's running in background ? av turned off ? services finely tuned ? etc etc ?

I doubt this will be true. As awesome as SA is going to be visually, it'll still be optimized.

 

Anyone who knows anything about Arma 2, knows that its optimization is shit. I think SA will actually boost our FPS.

ArmA 2 isn't poorly optimized, it just suffers from all that ancient code from the old Flashpoint days. Personally, I think the Standalone is what ArmA 3 should have looked like. I can't stand the lighting, it looks nothing like actual Greece. Just sort of plastic and bright, unlike the Standalone which honestly I think has better lighting. Also, if someone doesn't port standalone map to ArmA 3, I'll be angry.
