Arma 3 && Multithreading!!

[Dwarden 1125]

your BF3 benefits from DX11 renderer, the API by itself is faster with less delays, it's also more properly optimized for multicore usage

so if i take OA scene from DX9 renderer and slap it on DX11 renderer i get by default not just faster framerate but also better multicore usage

optimized drivers are another reason, DX9 is obsolete and multithreading performance wasn't optimized there beyond certain level

while DX11 route is actual and thus is and will be seeing more improvements by each IHV

i find interesting also how there goes compare with BF3 game vs ARMA 2 OA and it's AI threading limits considering BF3 has no AI in MP

(comparing uncomparable then)

i already posted several reasons why you can't reach 100% load on all cores (thread syncing losses, amdahl law, minimal time needed for sequencial task to finish etc)

anyway be assured that ARMA 3 is already more effective on the new hardware and more cores utilization than OA / TOH now...

That's great to hear Dwarden, looking forward to enjoying increased performance and better graphics.

I also don't understand why people compare anything to BF3, I really hope you didn't even take pointers from that piece of black and white excrement. BF3 is not even a rubbish game it is an insult. You just know that everything that's wrong with it, is that way by design. Someone deliberately made it as bad as it is.

There's only one thing that game can be praised for: It's a very popular quartermaster game with sound.

Thanks for explaining that in more detail and confirming the improvements in Arma3. :)

And I'd like to second that. Finally something informative.

PS - a little dev blog would be wonderful *hint* ;)

Fixed that for you.

You guys are similar to nationalists or southern US Americans and dare I compare Nazi's when it comes to other genres. Each to their own, just because you don't enjoy a game I enjoy, does not mean it is shit. It means you are shit for trying to impose your opinion on others. Here is a hint, nobody cares about your fanshit circlejerking crap, it makes you look like idiots. Just because you enjoy a false sense of realism 24/7 does not mean others do.

And you're doing the most basic mistake of generalising everything. Not all of us, or even the people that posted above are like that you know. Also, your post looks real flamebaity.

@rufor

Infraction +1 for that that post above. If you can not simply discuss things without turning it into a flamefest just do not discuss.

§1) No Flaming/Flame-baiting/bigotry

Abusive, racist, sexist, homophobic comments (or any other type of bigotry), personal attacks and name calling are not allowed either on the forum or through PM's. If you receive a PM that is abusive or you find offensive please forward it to a moderator who will investigate.

Flame-baiting is also not tolerated; flame-baiting is making a post to someone that is obviously intended to elicit an angry response. Mocking/teasing/ridiculing someone or the point someone wants to make is also flamebaiting. This also applies to other areas of the forums such as leaving visitor messages on people's profiles, messages posted in social groups, as well as quoting someone against their wishes in your signature to belittle/tease/mock them. If someone asks you to remove something they posted on the forum from your signature you must remove it. Common sense tells you that posting someone's PMs without permission is also flamebaiting and will be punished.

Eh, the posts on the other page are worse. I was just responding to their circlejerk and bandwagon shit.

+1 infraction for being outspoken about other peoples ignorance. Love it, but seriously I don't get how this 0/1 (1) mark even affects me in any way or is it just a medal for the great work I've done.

[Guest]

Yes, its a medal. The more points the more people will know what kind of person you are on these forums. At 5 you get the grand prize, a free holiday.

Since you seem to be reluctant to follow the forum rules as a first step let me ban you from the thread al together after that outburst for which you recieved the infraction. I do not think you deserve to be able to discuss in this thread at all anymore.

It affects you by showing us moderators that you have been infracted before. Users with previous infractions are much more likely to get infractions for the same behaviour in the future. Also, if you accumulate 5 active infractions, you are automatically banned.

About the locking down data, isn't that really only a concern if you use standard imperative programming?

If you program some essential parts with functional programming concepts you can get immutable data set that can bu shared with no worries.

And against the ordinary "you need to reconstruct data" argument you can simply use old immutable data replacing what is new for each world tick or how it now is handled.
