Meeting reccomended stats, still low fps :/

[Silentine 44]

You can see my PC stats in the image.All though I still have low and dreadfull FPS , sometimes low to like 12fps.

I have to disable tons of options to get good fps but making my game ugly.

 

...I am pretty sure my PC can handle this game.So what am I doing wrong?

P.S. I have the latest drivers including the latest Nvidia drivers.

That video card is... to put it lightly... trash, man.

 

Edit: you have 96 CUDA cores, and DDR3 memory pushing through a 128-bit bus with an 800mhz clock speed. Notice how the minimum requirements are top of the line cards from about six years ago? Well... a top of the line card from six years ago will trounce that 630 anyday... 

 

Try to remember, when purchasing a graphics card, that VRAM (or memory) does not equal performance. The company putting 4GB of VRAM on that graphics card was obviously a ploy to get uninformed people to buy it thinking they were getting a good graphics card when what they were getting was a POS that might do alright with HD web browsing...

For sure your video card, man. I would recommend a definite upgrade if you want a playable experience. If you have a budget for a new one, if at all, let me know what it is and I can maybe get you started in the right direction. (Not to say that I know it all.. but have been around computers for a few years)

Ahh ok, somehow I had a hunch my video card was the problem.It was cheap and I knew its probably not so good, but I ran out of money after I bought the PC.

Don't have the budget for a better video card right now, will have to gather some I guess.

 

Hope atleast my PC is decent. Its no I7 but still...costed me quite alot of cash.

That's a decent enough CPU for any gaming you want to do, really. It's just that video card man. You gotta drop at least 150 dollars (about, it seems) on a graphics card to hit that "sweet spot" of price/performance. But, just do your research before you buy man. Can't stress that enough. Read reviews from customers as well as professional reviewers. Look at the benchmarks the card has in games that YOU want to play (have not looked hard but have never really seen video cards benchmarked against Arma) and read read read, man.
