ArmA3Mark - Benchmark your ArmA 3

Recommended Posts

Ahhh Internet forums. Where we all get told what we need.

Drives me nuts. I mean who wants an open benchmark to see which settings make the most individual difference for ones own playing experience and to maximize ones own fps. No no. We need something totally locked so its only a competition between rigs. Ie how much one is willing to spend vs other interests.

If that's such a great idea than post a set of presets you choose and people can use that if they like and post the results from the "presets" My god. Instead people just complain that its flexible and doesn't mean they can feel like a man based on a benchmark? Done my rant....

Interestingly mine showed no difference between high and very high but tanked on ultra

Edit- and by the way.... THANKS FOR MAKING THIS TEST!!!!

Having standardized settings for use in this thread and for comparing rigs in no way diminishes someone's ability to use the benchmark to fine-tune their own settings.

Because its a flexible tool and not standardized. Come up with that standard and post it and keep the tool flexible. Kinda like how the game is created.....

Seriously, If anyone had said (" hey everyone. These are my "insert name here" presets. Try mine and post em here!!!"). We wouldn't be having this discussion...

-as a hilarious further edit. The game does have presets. Low standard etc. set the game to that setting and post all those scores with your relevant .cfg settings. There you go....

What score is considered good performance? I got around 4000. I see that some got worse and some have better. What is considered good enough score to play this game?

...not bad for an old PC of more than four years old. For me things are going pretty well at the moment...

Welcome to the forums Cosmic ;)

I've been around for awhile but thanks ;). Wasn't trying to single anyone out. I have been around since the original ghost recon mod days and I LOVE this game. I never want anything about this game to be standardized. That's our job as end users if we want. Keep it flexible .... ;) ',,,,,

Results and settings

My system:

i7 2600K

500GB Western Digital Caviar 16MB 3.5" SATA 6Gb/s

2x4GB G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3-1600 DIMM CL9

Asus Radeon 4870 1GB

No OC because my GPU is bottleneck now. I'll get better in this summer to match my i7 :P

the view distance is preset by the benchmark. Defined Settings are of course more useful than customs.

Changing the viewdistance still have an impact on the result.

anyway here my results

I've just used preset overall quality for simple comparaison with a resolution at 1920x1080 v-sync off

cpu : 2600k @ 4.5 ghz ht off

graphic card : gtx 580

memory : 12 gb @ 1600 mhz

arma 3 on SSD

preset ultra:OFPMark 3190.37 preset high:OFPMark 5088.39 preset low:OFPMark 8519.47

I'm not sure you understood my post, we're on the same side here. I don't think anyone is calling for something other than an informal "run x benchmark on y settings", just for comparison. Nobody is trying to make the benchmark force settings on the user or anything like that. Just an informal standard, for this thread and others where people are talking about relative performance between systems.

That said, with the low settings preset, I got ~8200. On ultra, I get ~2900.

i7 2600k at 4.5ghz (hyper-threading on)

Well, why not set some 'Standards' for the settings :)

View Distance (possibly not effected but why risk it): 2000

Object: 1000

Shadow: 100

Texture Quality: Standard

Object Quality: Standard

Terrain Quality: Standard

Cloud: Standard

Shadow: Standard -maybe we should do High as to better load GPU?

Particles: Standard

Vsync: Off

AA: Disabled

PostProcess: Normal

HDR: Standard

Anisotropic: Standard

PiP: Standard

Dynamic Lights: Standard

Agree/Disagree? Discuss :)

My fault. Guess I did. :). I dislike benchmarks as "scorecards". I get 1500 on ultra

Amd 8150 3.1

All pbos installed on ramdisk via hard shell extension

A CPU intensive game as we all knew. I may have to go intel for the full launch.

On overall score performance of 4000 refers to an avg. FPS of 40.00 . Just FYI.

After a battery of tests and a few missions of infantry showcase, it seemed to run great with terrain and clouds on standard. Everything else ultra. AA x2 with atoc off and vsync disabled. Models looked great. Ground looked fine but setting it to low removed too much ground clutter. I was pretty pleased with this setting but I am going to have to get a new pc for launch.

Version 0.7 has been released:

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByhZc2l2kSOaWWIwUUhNOUxNZ28/edit?usp=sharing

-Some locations changed for a more ideal showcase ---> v0.7 is not comparable score wise with previous versions

-Fixed some bugs which were burden the FPS slightly (AH 9 were attacking the OPFOR vehicles from Test 1)

-Optimized soem scene regarding the AI population

Shadows to high or very high your fps will improve

So what's the standard preset?

1280x720 (like futuremark's performance test) at Very High settings?

If that's the case:

TEST1: 50.9472
TEST2: 38.5839
TEST3: 31.5942
TEST4: 38.7097
TEST5: 58.8887

guys if we cant have the same settings all those nice examples wont help with painting the big picture.

just use standard overall and a 1080p Resolution.

v.07 - standard overall

5311

5507 (with sweetFX)

2500@4.5 - 560ti

standard because higher settings arent the same on all pc's due to VRAM limitations etc... (when I click Ultra setting overall texture is still high at my pc not very and not ultra etc, so the results are trash)

just click overall -> standard.
