New rig abilities?

[Alpha Tango 0]

Hey evetyone i was wondering if i could run everything in arma on ultra high?

My current specs:

CPU: AMD PHENOM 2

GPU: gtx 460

RAM: 2 GIGS DDR2

OS: WINDOWS 7 64 BIT

MOTHERBOARD: ASUS M4A7

---------------------------------------

With my current specs I haven't been able to really enjoy the game. So I'm upgrading to this

CPU: AMD FX 6 CORE

RAM: 8 GIGS

---------------------------

With the upgraded cpu and ram will it run arma 2 and an enjoyable rate where it wont lag so much?

The upgrade will definitely help! You'll see a performance boost.

Ok thanks for the answer, and i also had one more question. So lately I've been playing single player with no lag at all. But when i get online it's almost unplayable with all the lag. My ping varies from 90 to 200 ping. Is there a way to fix my ping to a lower number or something? thanks!

Depends what Phenom II you have if its a decently clocked Deneb or Thuban (955BE,965BE,980BE,960T,1055T,1090T,1100T) the FX is going to be a downgrade in most games and a sidegrade in anything else. If your going for an AM3+ board, DDR3 etc either wait a short while for FX Piledriver or buy another Phenom II (965BE costs about £80 these days), FX bulldozer was a gaming flop its not really worth the money its dropped in price lately as its due to be replaced by FX piledriver very soon. If you must buy FX bulldozer get 8120 and overclock it heavily but it wont game any better than a cheaper OC'd Phenom II 965BE.

All that said best money right now is on an Intel i5 and a z77 motherboard if you can afford that.

I'd get an AMD Phenom II X6, they are great to overclock, they're a bit old but when overclocked they can be considered the fastest CPU's AMD has.

The more people the more lag there is, always the way! High-pop servers are really laggy in cities.

Phenom II X6's cost alot now more than they can justify being worth, I run one clocked at 4.0GHz but i got it back when they cost sensible prices. From a gaming point of view the X6 is pointless though most games wont even fully utililise a quad let alone a hex, add to that the Deneb core Phenom II X4's are actually slightly better clock for clock than the Thuban X6's and currently you can get a Deneb core 965BE for £80 makes it about the best gaming option AMD has right now.

It'll run pretty much every game smoothly but not many games utilise the full power of a 6 core and all of its cores.
