RobStark 0 Posted August 14, 2012 Can anybody recommend a good upgrade for my GeForce 9400GT?? I'm running 3.10 intel dual core processor w / 4g ram. I want this game to run more smooth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

serpent10i 1 Posted August 14, 2012 Both the 560 TI's and the 7850 are great mid range cards that can handle ArmA 2 easly. Your processor seems fine but getting another 4 gigs of ram (assuming your motherboard supports it) will also help just in general. I would wait and get the graphics card first then upgrade your processor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobStark 0 Posted August 14, 2012 Hopefully a new video card will be good enough to get this game running smooth on normal settings. I do have an extra DIMM slot I can add another 4g stick. Would it have to be the same brand? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobcomss 189 Posted August 14, 2012 560Ti is a good bet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluetorch (DayZ) 4 Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) If i'm not wrong.. Isn't arma 2 more demanding on CPU rather than GPU? Just wondering for my self.. I'm running with Video Adapter NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 Video Memory 1.50 GB Central Processor Intel® Core i5 CPU 650 @ 3.20GHz Total memory 6 GBAnd i personally think the best upgrate for me would be my CPU and add 2 GB of memory Edited August 14, 2012 by bluetorch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobStark 0 Posted August 14, 2012 Budget could be around 200.00 or so, but I might be willing to dish out a little more if people think it would make a difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shakawkaw 0 Posted August 14, 2012 i have a EVGA GTX560 Ti OC Classified which makes it similar to 570... and I5 3750K ivy with 4Gb DDR3 and I don't know why but can't run dayz with everything in ultra and top res with decent fps... don't know whats missing in my config but i'm guessing its the poor arma 2 engine's fault.

Myth`~ 46 Posted August 14, 2012 A GTX680 will chew through any game. Slap a 2nd one on in SLI like I did and any game on the market, and coming out next year, will shit itself sideways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobStark 0 Posted August 14, 2012 I will be happy with smooth normal settings. Processor is i3 3.1 dual. That will have to do for now, and I really think that 9400 gt is my biggest problem. I run ok in most cases but when I get near cities it really kicks my system in the balls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
