ruhtraeel 1 Posted March 7, 2013 Hi, So at 1500 view distance, other distances at default, standard SMAA, 2xAA, Post Processing at Low and with everything else maxed out I get around 30-45 FPS in the showcases. When I played multiplayer, I got around 20-25 FPS. I cranked down all the settings to as low as they would go, and I still got around 20-25 FPS. Is this game really that CPU bound? Does this give me a reason to overclock my CPU? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TG Marksman X 10 Posted March 7, 2013 Boot into BIOS, increase multiplier to 45. Save. Reboot. That's pretty much it for overclocking a 2500K. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grillob3 11 Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) i did for arma 2 on a i7 920 to 4.3 and ram too at 1800 it help gain like 20fps at that time ...now i am on a i7 3930k at 4.8 and ram 2133 since day one! arma is hungry you got to feed it! "But do it at YOUR OWN RISK! I am on water so temps are good. Edited March 7, 2013 by Grillob3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radioman 6 Posted March 7, 2013 Arma is hungry you got to feed it! Too bad Arma only nibbles on what you feed it. The issue here isn't to do with the user's hardware, it's moreso Arma's inability to utilise 100% of it. The game has always had an invisible bottle neck, as running on a RAMDISK with a high-end GPU and 4.5 GHz i5 2500k and execution on CPU and GPU don't push 40%, yet the game is running at 20-30 FPS. Playing multiplayer has an adverse effect on performance as well, due to the net code of Arma (Or maybe just SQF) being slow to produce frames due to the server not sending as many packets.

white 1 Posted March 7, 2013 arma 3 suffers from the same problem as arma 2, it doesnt effectively uses more than 2 cores. thus rendering anything superior useless. so some quads get 50% utilization, etc. and this issue is a bad joke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
