Donner & Blitzen 10 Posted December 1, 2010 Start up ARMA, go into a mission, stand still and observe your framerate. Wait a few minutes, then minimize the game. Wait a few more minutes, then switch back to your game, and see if your framerate has increased. Then see if it goes back down after a little while. Make sure to stand still in game. Please give in actual numbers what your framerates were before and after. I can get to 30-50 frames after minimizing, after which it drops back to around 20 and below.

AZCoder 921 Posted December 1, 2010 I ran a mission on Chernarus and was getting 25 FPS before minimizing. Later it was 26 to 27 FPS after waiting several minutes minimized. In Zargabad PMC mission, I consistently get 50 to 60 FPS. Last Winter when the 1.05 patch came out for Arma2, a lot of people reported improved frame rates, and my FPS dropped radically. Now I see others reporting frame drop, and mine seems to have improved over all. Weird how that works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kvnastn 10 Posted December 3, 2010 what graphics cards do you have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZCoder 921 Posted December 3, 2010 Nvidia 285gtx with 1gb. I don't know why some get the FPS drop. I've read many posts of all kinds of hardware configs. I should mention that I'm using an older Nvidia driver, from May I think. After that driver, I was getting frequent nvidia driver has stopped working errors, and it would recover and mess up the graphic settings in-game, causing me to restart Arma. Now it is working great again.... but also I reinstalled Win7 recently because I could not get another game to run at all. In any case I have better FPS and far less crashes on older driver.
