pluke the 2 10 Posted March 20, 2015 I know ARMA 3 is CPU heavy. I have an I7 overclocked. I'm trying to decide on a GPU/S. I have $1,500 for my GPU budget. I worked for it and i'm a grown man. My question is: Does Arma 3 run better with GTX980s in SLI or 1 GTX Titan. I'll be using a single 1080p or 1440p monitor. I will be playing Wasteland Mulitplayer Servers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PuFu 4591 Posted March 20, 2015 arma doesn't like SLI...so titanX then for you (i am a bot envious tbh ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pluke the 2 10 Posted March 20, 2015 gotcha awesome thanks for that quick response. i accidentally (out of excitement) bought both, 2 780s and the titan x now i know which one to return! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey, my birthday's coming up, you could send me a new pc with that kind of money! lol, jk. Yeah, Arma 3 has a few bugs with SLI, namely to do with PIP, which has been an issue since alpha.

cosmic10r 2324 Posted March 20, 2015 My 690 (dual gpu) runs arma fine... That being said you would be crazy to not go with a titan x... it's what I've been waiting for and why I didn't get a 980 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brightcandle 114 Posted March 21, 2015 The game is mostly CPU limited most of the time so it kind of doesn't matter, either is more graphics horsepower than the game can really use. When your frame rate drops during a mission it wont be due to your GPU with either solution. Maybe the Titan X will be a little quicker in those circumstances because there is a little less CPU overhead with one card verses two, but its negligible. In most other games I would anticipate that the 2x980 will run quite a bit faster than the Titan X. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loopdk 92 Posted March 21, 2015 arma doesn't like SLI...so titanX then for you (i am a bot envious tbh ;) Bul.... my 780Ti sli works great after som tweaking... now using 78%+ of both cards! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tet5uo 4 Posted March 23, 2015 Bul.... my 780Ti sli works great after som tweaking... now using 78%+ of both cards! And with the bonus shader bug that has been in the game since Alpha! http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=436 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maffa 29 Posted March 24, 2015 never choose a SLI if you can afford the next powerful single card Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pluke the 2 10 Posted March 25, 2015 alright. i got her all running. i know i know. arma 3 sucks no matter how powerful the rig is. i'm looking for custom parameters. does this look like the correct parameters? -enableHT -maxMem=2047 -maxVram=3071 -malloc=tbbmalloc -noBenchmark -noLogs -noPause -noSplash -world=empty anyone care to add or subtract some parameters? i'm using an 5820k w/ titan x and 16gb ram thx for all the help guys.

brightcandle 114 Posted March 25, 2015 All you need: -noLogs -noPause -noSplash -world=empty The rest honestly don't make any practical performance difference whatsoever. If you want the game to run faster turn down your view distance and object quality, these two make by far the biggest difference as they are the things that hit the CPU hard in the rendering process. Drop down to 1500k or so on view distance and the game will run better, not well but better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
