why do i get such low fps?

[oshnatour1 14]

well yea i recently started putting the little fraps benchmark in the corner to see my fps and the average came out to be around the low 20's. i have all the settings maxed out but it shouldent be a problem for my computer.

Specs

CPU i5 2500k 4.6Ghz

RAM corsair vengeance 8GB 1600mhz

MOBO asus maximus iv gene 3

GPU Gigabyte gtx 670 windforce

i mean i have a very nice and new gaming computer and i should be able to max out a 3 year old game with mediocre graphics. any tips on what i should do?

Set the game's .exe to high priority via the task manager. That seems to do the trick.

It's not the graphics that are intensive of ARMA II, it's the CPU. ARMA requires a lot more out of the CPU than the GPU, so your graphics are fine, but you may have to turn them down. You will need all the frames you can in this game. Don't risk graphics over your life!

i have a 4.6ghz i5 2500k there is no reason this game should lag

There are several nvidia card owner having fps problems at present, I'm using a 560ti 448 and could run arma 2 on Ultra at 60 fps but now struggle to get 25 fps. Dayz has got worse over the last few days but no one has an solid answer. You shouldn't struggle with a 670!

Either the 301.42 (think that's right) drivers or a 1.7.2.5 issue? That's only a guess though...
