alquemist 10 Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) Im going to build me a new gaming rig just for Arma 3. Here is what i came up with, I believe this should be able to run Arma 3 at Fps 60+ with out a sweat with every thing on ultra. My question is could it easily run arma 3 with out a prob on ultra? I need suggestions. Case: Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000 (Edited) CPU Cooler: COOLER MASTER V8 RR-UV8-XBU1-GP 120mm Rifle RAM: G.SKILL Sniper Gaming Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) GPU: XFX Double D FX797GTDFC Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDD: Western Digital WD VelociRaptor WD5000HHTZ 500GB 10000 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive PSU: COOLER MASTER Silent Pro Gold Series RS800-80GAD3-US 800W Monitor: BenQ XL2420T Black-Red 24" 5ms (2ms GTG) HDMI Widescreen LED Backlight Height & Pivot Adjustable 120Hz 3D-Ready CD Reader: ASUS DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS Black SATA 24X Edited March 25, 2013 by alquemist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simon1279 53 Posted March 25, 2013 how can you make a rig with a socket 2011 CPU on a socket 1155 MOBO? go for an I7 3970k, but btw arma is different from other games, you'll never have 60 fps constantly, and i suggest for Nvidia GPU EDIT: for gaming is better socket LGA 1155 than socket LGA 2011 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alquemist 10 Posted March 25, 2013 Looks good but I would go with Nvidia and an SSD drive ;) Why go with Nvidia? I did my research and the HD 7970 GHz Edition beats the GTX 680. If its about Physx, Arma 3 Physx runs on CPU not gpu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
white 1 Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) i would say u need a better cpu and a good watercooler to clock it as high as you can. 2400mhz+ memory would also help some. http://gamegpu.ru/images/stories/Test_GPU/Action/ARMA%20III%20Alpha/test/arma%203%20proz%20h.jpg (124 kB) http://gamegpu.ru/action-/-fps-/-tps/arma-iii-alpha-test-gpu/testovaya-chast.html +1 to the ssd (velociraptor is very slow compared) +1 to nvidia in hope they will let ppl use their gpu for physx like most games do.

I was looking for a 6 core CPU because i know arma is cpu hungry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charliemilk 10 Posted March 25, 2013 Yeah, get a pre-sealed water cooler and overclock to at least 4Ghz (if you know how to overclock that is) and get a big HDD for storage and a small 256GB SSD for windows and ARMA III and drivers etc. If you don't get a water cooler then the cooler you have chosen looks good. I have the Cool Master V6, and got my i7 920 from stock 3.2GHz on turbo, up to stable 3.8GHz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was looking for a 6 core CPU because i know arma is cpu hungry. no matter with a 6 core go for a sandy on 1155, the 2011 is more "technical" not the best for gaming and you also save yor moneys spent for nothing, nvidia single titan with saved money on useless 6 core CPU. Nvidia always > than ATI/AMD it's a different architecture, and mobo i suggest an ASUS px9 if you looking for the best or cheaper go fo a sabertooth z77, but go for an ASUS MOBO Edited March 25, 2013 by Simon1279 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It worth for overclock but if you dunno how to OC and you dunno no one that knows how to do it, you risk to burn your rig, go for I7 3970k (k version is the version with unlocked multiplier), I5 ain't the best ---------- Post added at 07:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 PM ---------- Yeah, get a pre-sealed water cooler and overclock to at least 4Ghz (if you know how to overclock that is) and get a big HDD for storage and a small 256GB SSD for windows and ARMA III and drivers etc. If you don't get a water cooler then the cooler you have chosen looks good. I have the Cool Master V6, and got my i7 920 from stock 3.2GHz on turbo, up to stable 3.8GHz. basically you can boost the I7-3970k with it's original cooler, reaching @4.1Ghz a temp of 55°Celsius, i own an I7-950 @4.0Ghz rock solid but this definitely needs a powerfull cooler, new generation I7 are intended to be OCkked, you just need to tweak the multiplier and if you're luky you don't need to tweak the voltage can't wait for to own one of them, me too i have a Cool Master V6 (nice tool very very nice tool) ;) Edited March 25, 2013 by Simon1279 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alquemist 10 Posted March 25, 2013 I know about OC'ing. Do you really think the i7-3970k is necessary over i5-3570K for gaming? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simon1279 53 Posted March 25, 2013 I know about OC'ing. Do you really think the i7-3970k is necessary over i5-3570K for gaming? No it's simply the best, basically new generation i5 are the same as old generation I7 i mean I7- 9xx just take a look and post your first question on tom's hardware forums ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naizarak 4 Posted March 25, 2013 if you're planning on maxing arma with a single 7970 then all i have to say is "good luck" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
white 1 Posted March 25, 2013 I know about OC'ing. Do you really think the i7-3970k is necessary over i5-3570K for gaming? ive posted a link with a series os cpu´s benchmarked in arma 3. whats your take on it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maslofski 10 Posted March 25, 2013 im wondering why you say it should run on 60+ fps, you have a 120hz monitor so the question is ive you can take andvantage of that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
