lampdude 10 Posted May 15, 2014 Hi, first post here. Not 100% sure if this is the right section so my apologies if I got this wrong. Here are my current specs. AMD Athlon x2 245 dual core, 2.9ghz 4GB RAM Nvidia 9500gt 1GB I recently ordered a new card for project reality, but I began entertaining the idea that I might be able to run Arma 2 and Operation Arrowhead. I am getting an HD7750 1GB within a week, its on the way now, but I just dont want to be getting my hopes up before I even get the card. I am just looking to run at 1024x720 resolution and medium graphics at a steady 30 or 40 fps? Too ambitious? It will be a while before I can buy a new processor, but I hear from reviews that the HD7750 has done a great job for people playing some pretty demanding games like Flight Sim X and BF4. I can currently run the OA demo at about 35 to 40 fps, everything on very low basically, and 1024x720 resolution, it looks horrible lol. I've looked at comparisons and the HD7750 is around 10 to 15 times better than my card at the moment in almost every category. So the new specs will be the same as above, just replace the 9500 with HD7750 1GB and there you go. Do you think I can run these games comfortably at all? Thanks!

IT07 10 Posted May 15, 2014 really?? Those kind of specs in these days? Dude, my 27 year old brother had these specs when he was 15.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lampdude 10 Posted May 15, 2014 really?? Those kind of specs in these days? Dude, my 27 year old brother had these specs when he was 15.... I got it like 4 years ago. I'm just wondering if my setup is good enough just to run normal. I can't buy a new pc and won't for a while since I don't make much money. Thanks for not being insulting to what my family was able to afford when we got this PC. NEW specs will be AMD Athlon x2 245 2.9ghz 4GB ram DDR2 HD7750 1GB 1TB HDD ---------- Post added at 15:54 ---------- Previous post was at 15:53 ---------- I'm getting an i5 as soon as I have the money to, but that won't be for a month or two.

IT07 10 Posted May 15, 2014 Ok my apologies. I misunderstood the post. To answer the question: yes, but on low settings. Like no AA, no eye candy like shadows and ATOC, etc. etc. But it will also depend on what resolution you are running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lampdude 10 Posted May 15, 2014 I'll be on 1024x768 on 3d resolution and monitor resolution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IT07 10 Posted May 15, 2014 Ok well that should be fine. Not sure what motherboard you have though. The 7750 sounds like way to strong for the rest in the pc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dj3hac 10 Posted March 7, 2015 I had a similarly clocked dual core intel processor, and arma2 OA would run, but not the best. Keep in mind that Arma will perform better on Intel. If you ever have to chance to switch from AMD do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had an AMD .955 x4 @ 3.20 ghz with 4g an NVidia 660 runing ArmA2 an OA off an on ran game well with shadows on very high pp off AA off, everything else to normal. Be sure to match descktop resolution an game resolution(check Arma profile to cconfirm) This allowed me 5k view distance with grass off in mp. Sadly this would not run ArmA3(not the 5k vd I require for flying) hope maybe this helps narrow down for ArmA2. Highly recommend giving this post a look see :D http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?73947-ArmaHolic-ArmA-2-Optimization Edited April 1, 2015 by Call_911 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
