ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead doesn't use all available resources though it should

[rafikrafik007 1]

I have low fps(especially in multiplayer), but graphic card usage is about 30%. Windows' Resource Monitor shows usage of processor and it's about 70%. Only 1,5GB of 3GB ram memory is used.

I even tried using lowest settings and resolution, but then only usage of graphic card is less.

I didn't overlooked anything.

My specification:

CPU: CPU Type QuadCore AMD Athlon II X4 640, 3000 MHz (15 x 200)

Graphic Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 240 (512 MB)

Motherboard: MSI 770T-C45 (MS-7388) (3 PCI, 2 PCI-E x1, 1 PCI-E x16, 4 DDR2 DIMM, Audio, Gigabit LAN)

RAM memory: 3GB More informations:

What should I do if I want to the game uses more resources and then more fps?

The correct place to have put your post here, is in the Sticky above ‘Low performance issues’ thread..

I would say the card is definitely not helping, it’s a little weak for A2. What fps are you getting in the E08 benchmark ?

Although, best put the answer to that in the sticky thread above as mentioned, this will be closed soon, I think..

I'm getting 35 fps(lowest details, resolution 1024x768) in the benchmark, but in multiplayer often is 15 fps. I guess the graphic card is not bottleneck, because MSI Afterburner shows low usage of it. I think if the game used more resources(processor), the fps would be higher. I don't know why ARMA 2 don't want use all available resources.

edit. I checked another DDR2 ram memory, upgrading from 533 MHz to 800 MHz, then fps in the benchmark is 37, so that confirms the graphic card is not bottleneck.
