We need this to be optimized.

@Op: I think wanting 60 fps stable isn't realistic and has never been so when a ARMA game came out. A reasonable fps to expect with a mid-high end system is a stable fps between 30-50 fps(With stable i mean during slow and intense moments, not while your just looking at a plain field where nothing is happening) with setting between standard and ultra. Right now i am getting 30-50 with some huge unexplained drops to 5-6 from time to time. Apart from those random frame drops the game seems to be running better than i would have expected, but there is certainly room for improvement and those extreme frame drops need to be ironed out.

System:

i5 2500k @ 3.6

8GB RAM

GTX570oc

Win7

i really think its possible but i sort of understand why everbody thinks its not. beacuse all arma games before cant, so you make some simple logic, if previous arma couldnt do it , now that the new one looks better its even harder right? because we are sort of ``used to´´ the bad performance and to enjoy the game we just play and deal with it.

i have lot on faith and the devs team and i would love to see some official words from them telling us that they know about the issue because it looks like they don't:

´´We are very happy on the other side to read the many positive reports regarding performance and the fluidity of movement, and the Alpha in general.``

your point becomes moot when disabling 4 of my six cores gives out the exact same performance with higher cpu usage.

and the average % of usage is directly linked to how many cores one has: 2 cores, 80%+ usage, 4 cores 50% usage, 6 cores, 35% usage. the hard drivers limits it you say? well soem of us have high end ssd´s. the memory limits you say? i say 16gb otta be enough. the gpu limits you say? well my 660ti oc on ultra gets 45% usage with vsync off no matter the settings.

all evidences point to the same thing, this game is dual core and thats not enough.

Yes! I'm so tired of having such a powerful computer that is not being utilized even close to what it should be. It's very irritating. Such a great game but why the hell can't they get it to utilize the computing power that we have?!

My specs:

AMD Phenom X4 955BE OCed @3.90GHz

ASUS HD7870 OCed v2

7GB DDR2 RAM

CORSAIR FORCE 3 120GB SSD

I'm running the game on High Presets in 1920*1080 with 20FPS in the air. On Low Presets I get about 29FPS.

Attached a screen from the last single player mission flying around in the chopper (Highest GPU Count was 29%. Even in the main starting screen it is on 50%..):

Are there any known tweaks which i could use?

thanks!

I've installed Chernarus under ArmA3 and I'm losing ~20 fps on worse settings compared to ArmA2 (30 fps at 2.5 km VD as opposed to 50 at 3.2 km VD in A2... and that's with clouds being disabled and HDR set to low) - so there's definitely something off with ArmA3.

This is a very good method to test.

Perhaps someone ArmA II install is able to confirm this on the same settings?
