What is my bottleneck?

[laserhel50 12]

Hey there everyone, I guess I'll start with apologizing for placing yet another one of "those" threads, however I have tried a lot of things, but without any success.

My problem lies with ArmA, I usually play on combined ops. Usually DayZ mods, but also warfare most of the time.

My FPS sticks to an average 10-25, hitting 30 is quite rare for me.. And this is with my videocard overclocked to it's limits.

To compare this, playing Counter Strike: Global Offensive on every setting maximized, on 1920x1080, gets me an FPS of.. 150 to 300.. Yep, quite a difference.

Of course, as many, I have tried changing settings, but none of these really allowed me to play the game with a higher FPS than 10 to 25.. ArmA 3 is even worse.

So I'm here, hoping to find someone with more expierence on the matter, who may be able to tell me what my could be, or as the title says, where the bottleneck is.

So, off to specs:

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit)

Processor: AMD FX-6100 3.3 GHZ (With 3.8 GHZ boost)

RAM: 16 GB of Corsair valueselect (1333 Mhz)

Videocard: GTX 650E 2GB OC'd on 6008 Mhz memory clock, and 1171 Mhz on GPU clock rate.

Other than that, I don't have anything intensive running in the background, no antivirus, nothing. Tried to run the game on an SSD with no improvements.

I have an extensive startup parameter list, however: -skipintro -malloc=system -maxMem=16384 -maxVRAM=2048 -cpuCount=6 -exThreads=7

In any case, I am unsure what my problem would be, the game is unplayable, and I won't even begin on howmuch of a hell the "optimized" ArmA 3 is for me..

Thanks in advance!
