Hello i have seen somewhere that you can add to your steam shortcut this "-cpuCpunt=4" What does this do?

Allows ARMA to use all 4 cores of your CPU, provided that you have at least a quad-core. I.e., performance boost.

make arma use 4 cores in your cpu

[doom4mr 135]

this is useful if you have more then 4 cores...

last time I checked, its used only the physical cores and not the threads

I have been using coretemp to watch my cpu while playing and it seems that it already use's all 4core's.

I might try and give it a go tho. Im already running at 80FPS well thats what fraps is telling me while recording i might use msiafterburner at least i think thats what its called to meassure the actual game FPS

Edit: Anyone know the link to find this info? i cant seem to find it google has failed me!

Also how did you get that picture sgt.asshat? that looks easyer to do then typeing in a load of code

But...then...why bother with the tweaks?

I just want to see what my system can manage! its a new build and i really want to give it a push... No a shove and see what it can handle when the game is setup and tweeked to the max to squeze as much out of it as i can.

Sgt asshat, How did you get that picture? i would like to check to see if my DayZ is using all 4core's?

I used task manager and set affinity for arma2 and it says all processors then below that cpu0 cpu1 cpu2 cpu3 but i cant find anything that looks like your picture.
