Mechwarrior0311 1 Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) Thats not how VRAM works.It doesn't share. it depends on your Resolution,Settings in game etc. But from my testing any res over 1280/1024 and 1GB is too low...with (to me) acceptable filters; AA, Shadows, Ultra. Well its a issue with a few games that use the CPU PhysX. It only happens on Nvidia cards. It maybe that there will need to be a new driver from Nvidia, or Bis will fix what ever the issue is. But in ARMA you dont need the PhysX from your card. It should be easy to just turn it off in your Nvida CP but that has been problematic. I guess Im not understanding what you are getting at.... an Nvidia GTX 560 Ti is more than enough to play this game. When I use Autodetect it sets me to "High" , thats what I play at. As far as the shared system memory goes.. I didn't do anything to set that, it did that all on its own. From what I understand I am fine as long as the shared video memory is under half of what my total system memory is, which it is. I have 6GB of DDR3 so with it being at 2.9GB shared, its fine. I dont have any problems on any other game, I don't think that the amount of video memory being used on my PC is the issue here... Do you have any solutions or should I just wait until BIS releases a new patch with a fix for whatever is causing their game to pause and stop working randomly? Also, these are the Arma 3 system requirements: OS – Windows 7 / Vista CPU – Intel Core i5 or AMD Athlon Phenom X4 or faster GPU – Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 or ATI Radeon HD 5770, shader Model 3 and 896 MB VRAM, or faster RAM – 2 GB HDD – 15 GB free space DVD – Dual Layer compatible DirectX® – 10 These are MY system specs Windows 7 64 bit Intel i7 930 Nvidia GTX 560 Ti 6 GB DDR3 2 Terabyte HD ( Also there is no option in the Nvidia CP to turn off Physx, there is only the option to let the application auto decide which to use, or to set it manually to Card or CPU ) Edited June 17, 2013 by Mechwarrior0311 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mechwarrior0311 1 Posted June 17, 2013 Colonel, I just went to Programs and uninstalled Physx. I AM noticing an improvement since I did that, as in the program hasnt stopped working since. But I have only played two 1 hours sessions since then so I can't say if its an absolute fix or not. Like you, this issue only started with the last update released for the game. I guess we can just hope that the next update fixes the problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fuse 1 Posted June 20, 2013 I believe it's a known issue that Bohemia has acknowledged and said they are working with Nvidia to fix. I've tried everything (uninstalling drivers, updating drivers, PhysX on CPU, blah blah blah) and haven't been able to impact the crash at all. Here's hoping it's fixed in the beta build.

Fuse 1 Posted June 22, 2013 Dan;2419893']just got the beta build but it still ain't fixed :( I'm pretty sure if I say what I want to right now I'll get banned. Just imagine the longest stream of obscenities you can, then lengthen it twofold. Guess it's time to set the game down for another couple of months. I just hope the people I was talking to last night didn't buy it already or I'm going to feel like a real asshole for suggesting it. (Said to get it while it's cheap, and that I was relatively confident such a large issue would be fixed in the beta build considering how long it's been around and how little we've heard about it. I'm an idiot.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colonel-ONeill 11 Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) as far as I know the beta will come out on the 25th June but some might have early access, I am not to worried much about the crashes atm because it is still under development when it comes to the final game that would be a totally different scenario.

I'm not too worried about this particular issue. It effects so many people and Bohemia paid money to license PhysX, they have to get it resolved at some point (if not they might as well sign up with EA or Activison). It was just disappointing. There's only so much I can test out in the editor. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GranolaBar 10 Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) Hi Dan, thx for answer, Hi Colonel. Effectively, i have the same issue, i'm at home. Maybe a tip as i say in MP, to put the PhysX3_x86.dll from another game like Planet Side 2 and move it into Arma 3. I search or download the phyx (v3) dll - > (PhysX3_x86.dll) from planetside 2. If people want to try this tip. All people have this issue have a Nvidia Card ? Me i have Gtx 560 TI. I shot in this topic the feedback tracker : http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=3381 , vote for it if you have the problem.
