Alpha Tango 0 Posted June 23, 2012 Hey all. Recently ran some tests due to some freezing in dayz. I found out im over recommended specs for arma II and about half way past minimum on operation arrowhead. My specs are ---------------------------------Mother Board- Asus amdProcessor- Amd dual core 3.o ghzmemory- 2 gigstwo hard drives = 800 gigsGraphics card - gtx 460sound card- on boardpower supply- bfg 600 wattOperating system- Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit---------------------------------From that i get some freezing so what should i do? should i buy more memory? i was thinking maybe 8 gigs ((2) 4 gig memory cards)Should i pick up another graphics card? this is a custom build i picked up for $700 dollars. All comments are appreciated thanks!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JKflipflop 40 Posted June 23, 2012 The problem is most likely your CPU. ARMA loves CPUs and yours is pretty anemic. More ram and an upgrade to win7 64 bit wouldn't be a bad idea either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suley 1 Posted June 23, 2012 32bit systems don't read any extra RAM past 4 gigs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SineDeviance 0 Posted June 24, 2012 I don't think you should be having any issues, I have a similar (slightly more powerful) build.Gigabyte GA-P55-USB3Core i3-530 dual core @ 2.93ghz (overclocked @ 3.53)4 (2x2) GB dualchannel G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3-1600XFX ATi HD5850 1GB @ stock clocksWindows 7 Ultimate x64I get anywhere from 25-45fps in towns, to 60+fps in the wilderness. All visual settings on Highs/Very Highs except post-processing, which I always leave Off. I tend to run AA Off (as it is useless with my rendering setup, as you'll see) and AF on Normal. In lieu of post-processing I have the interface res at 1920x1080 (my monitor's native res) but the renderer is set to 85% of that resolution, or somesuch, which produces a nice blur effect that makes the game look more realistic while actually giving me a slight framerate boost. Still, the game is generally very playable in all situations.I haven't had any hard lockups or crashing, but YMMV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CriticalNerd 20 Posted June 24, 2012 I had freezes too. Not anymore, just remember to close the Six Launcher once you get into a server and you are good to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
