How to increase FPS - A LOT!

[Izziee 128]

I'm not going to take credit for this, I found it in another thread (Not going to say he came up with it either)

http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/28160-guide-how-to-set-up-your-graphics-properly/

He mentions mostly obvious stuff, but there was one little thing I found quite interesting and thought I would try it out:-

GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1;

GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1;

Now to elaborate on that, mine was set at 1000; and 3; I Changed both to 1 and wow! What a difference. This is entered in your Arma2.cfg file in your documents. (I couldn't see it in the other file like he mentioned so just did it in that)

I never believed that it would actually increase my FPS THAT drastically, I thought maybe one or two, but it's smooth as hell! Previously, Arma felt "heavy" if you get what I mean by that. A slight delay in swinging the gun and aiming and even walking. I can play BF3 on ultra so I put it down to the engine of arma. In fact, out of my rather huge catalog of games, Arma is the only one that gave me lip!

Anyway, I just want to point it out so that those struggling with it can try this and see how it goes. Hope this will help some of you as it did me.

I have a shit graphics card so I leave it as it is, and set max frames ahead to 8 in teh nvidia control panel, otherwise I get microstutters and freezing in game...

Did you actually try that? Because it sure as hell worked for me.
