ArmA 3 System Requirements

Recommended Posts

Any idea if i will be able to play with anything higher than Low visual settings?

Medium to High in 1080p, if that 4 GHz clock is stable.

I have 1680x1050 lcd screen, Medium would satisfy me anyway.. ;)

Could go all the way to High without Anti-aliasing. Yours is a pretty balanced system, the CPU shouldn't bottleneck your current gen. graphics card.

If ArmA II is anything to go by, that CPU will not be enough to use the power of the 7850.

I completed the ArmA II SP & played for a year in MP with a Phenom II x2 550 @ 3.8 GHz & a Radeon 4890 @ 1080p, high detail. :)

Either peeps have unrealistically high expectations, like 60 FPS at 1080p, or something else isn't right. Sure if you're going to simulate 64-team Singleplayer Warfare with 16 units per team, that may become a problem, but in MP/light SP? Come on.

Not on its own, but if you build a sufficiently equipped PC around that card, sure. ;)

EDIT:

Jokes aside, I will be testing the alpha on two systems and posting info on performance and optimal settings. The first system is the one in my sig, the second one is somewhat less powerful:

- AMD Phenom II X4 960T

- NVidia GTX 550 Ti

- 4GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM

- 32bit Windows 7

If you don't want to risk buying the game before you know how it will run, wait for Tuesday evening. :D

Thanks. I will check Tuesday evening after work to see the results.

...but between you and me, you know I will purchase Arma3. :-D

So no chance for a dual core CPU to run this game properly ?:confused:

Does overclocking the CPU really make a noticeable change in FPS for ArmA?

Definitely! ArmA is very CPU demanding. For me overclocking my I5 2500K from 3.2GHz - 4.5GHz made a huge difference in FPS/General stability.

Try a normal 50-player Wasteland in Takistan. When the server has been on for a couple of hours and you go to a town like Bastam, it's a diashow. I mean I would be happy enough if it didn't go below 30FPS, but the fucker dips down to 20 and even below it with lot of trees/buildings in your sight.

That's server-side problems, same thing happened in Warfare after the server had been up for several days without restart.

CPU: I7 3610QM

GPU: Nvidia 650m (GDDR5)

RAM : 6 Go

I want to play in 1080p

Thank for your advice :)

In... 1080p - perhaps on Low-Medium with this config. You'd be close to maxing it out at 1366x768, tho.

Speaking for a friends sake - would a Intel Core 2 Quad be enough to run it? He has no problems running ArmA 2, although Wasteland can be a bit too demanding for him depending on the server.

edit: if memory serves, the rest of his PC is

8GB DDR2

Windows 7 64 bit

GT 640

1440 x 900

He doesn't have a SSD, just a 500GB HDD.

Yea, but those should be fixed somehow. The system requirements don't apply to MP at all.

You guys probably had enough with 'can I run it' questions but, I'd like to ask too. With,

i5 750 @2,67GHz

HD5770 1GB

8GB 1333MHz RAM

is it possible to play in 1080p with around medium? Or, around what resolution I can play in medium presets? Thanks. :)

I think I'll run at high settings perfect fine with 40+ FPS with my computer at 1080P with a render distance of around 2k.

Installing a SSD, so if ArmA 3 is optimized better then ArmA 2 in any way.. then I should be G2G.

Most likely as Arma games are mainly CPU heavy and you have pretty good cpu i'd say..
