Spaniard1492 10 Posted September 12, 2013 Hi all, first of all sorry for my bad English, I have serious problems with Arma 3, gives a very low FPS I have understood that it is a very poor optimization of the game and I checked for myself, while I play the cpu works at 60% and GPU at 70% and I get 25 FPS amazing, while others ask more games that I put the maximum requirements without problems, Bohemia aarreglar steer clear a bit and this, my pc is this: AMD FX6100 8gb ram Ati 7800 2gb 256bit OC Radeoon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Battlefieldbully 10 Posted September 12, 2013 I own the same CPU and it can handle most of the light missions very well although i had to OC to 4,8ghz and get a liquid cooling kit to achieve this. I get 45-55fps in infantry showcase and 40+ in well scripted MP missions on a good server. I'm planning to get a 6300 and upgrade to win 8. I've read that both Bulldozer and Vishera benefit from the OS upgrade. Primary reason for this is that Windows 7’s scheduler doesn't know how to deal with the Bulldozer’s shared multi-cores.

kavoriken 1 Posted September 12, 2013 Hi all, first of all sorry for my bad English, I have serious problems with Arma 3, gives a very low FPS I have understood that it is a very poor optimization of the game and I checked for myself, while I play the cpu works at 60% and GPU at 70% and I get 25 FPS amazing, while others ask more games that I put the maximum requirements without problems, Bohemia aarreglar steer clear a bit and this, my pc is this:AMD FX6100 8gb ram Ati 7800 2gb 256bit OC Radeoon While i can not help you to get more FPS all that much, maybe i can help you understand Arma 3 Performance a bit more. First of all, CPU is the most important part when it comes to performance. Your CPU has 6 cores and everything above 4 doesn't help Arma 3 Performance at all. Single threaded performance is the next big thing. Your CPU does have a passmark single threaded score of ~1200 (Source: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html) which is not exactly high-end for Arma 3. The next thing is Multiplayer performance. You cannot compare Singleplayer to Multiplayer performance as your performance is strongly dependant on the Servers performance. The Server FPS counts pretty much as an upper threshold for all the clients. If you play an enormously complex mission online (60 players, 100+ AI), your FPS will be a LOT worse compared to just placing yourself in the editor. If the Servers FPS is very low (like below 15) no high-end PC on this world can render the client at 60 FPS, thats just how the Arma 3 netcode works... So, what can you do to improve the performance in your case? Forget all graphic settings and just turn down Viewdistance and Object Detail until you can live with the performance, these 2 options will provide the biggest boost in your case. Most graphic options put strain on the GPU only, and the GPU usually never hits 100% if you play singleplayer with AI or Multiplayer as the CPU is the bottleneck. Apart from that you can't do too much except getting a better CPU (Your GPU is absolutely fine) or maybe an SSD for faster Texture loading. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kavoriken 1 Posted September 12, 2013 It's not like your PC does not match the recommended specs at all, but if you read my post above closely you would understand that the PC specs listed as recommended are slightly better for Arma 3 than your PC is. Why? Because the i5-2300 has better single threaded performance than your CPU and your extra 2 cores don't matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakson 1 Posted September 12, 2013 Hi, first of all what OS, resolution and exact graphics card are you using? It sounds like to me that you should be able to run the game on standard. You are measuring using Fraps or something such and in a singleplayer mission right? Or better yet the editor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
