[vinity24 0]

i brought the game just for the mod a couple of days ago and it has had this problem every since i installed it my fps should be 20-30fps but it runs like it should for the 1st 2-3 seconds then changes to 4-5fps even if im not moving or even looking at the ground and it goes for 5-6seconds then changes back and so forth. i have boosted my fps and did lots of things to improve i havent come across anyone with a fps problem like mine and have tried lots of different things to fix it i think my fps problem is a different issue so thats why i made a thread.:s

Windows 7 64 bit

3GB Graphics Memory

NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M With Optimus

750 GB HDD

8 GB RAM

p.s i have tried both versions.

Never really worked with Laptops but either it's on ArmA's end or it could be your CPU/GPU. What CPU do you have? And as I said, I don't know much about a Laptop's hardware, but it could be that your GPU is too weak(Though I doubt it), never even bother looking at the VRAM, it's pretty much irrelevant nowadays. :)

Some servers tend to give players a low framerate because they're stupid enough to set the player limit to 50, which just doesn't work with DayZ, not even the slightest. Personally I think there should be restrictions for servers to only host 30 players max :/

Did you try to play around with the settings? Turning off Shadows and Anti-Aliasing and etc?

I had this problem and solved it. (Also using a NVIDIA card)

Open up NVIDIA control panel.

Go to "Manage 3D Settings"

Select "Program Settings"

Program to customize: Arma II (And also do the same for Arma II Combined Ops)

Where you can "Specify the settings for this program" scroll down the list.

Set the "Maximum pre-rendered frames" to 8

Click "Apply"

Make sure you do it for both Arma II and Arma II Combined Operations. This fixed the problem for me.
