strannix 10 Posted May 3, 2015 Sup, Would 32GB of DDR4 RAM make any difference to my custom mission performance? Current CPU: 4790K @ 4.4Ghz GPU: Asus 6950 RAM: 6GB DDR3 PSU: Jeantech 850w - Col. Strannix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strannix DDR4 I dont know, but 32GB of DDR3 would make all the difference, 6GB is not enough for Arma 3 demandings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loopdk 92 Posted May 3, 2015 What??? Am runing 16gb and have never usede more than 5,2gb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
654wak654 25 Posted May 3, 2015 You could put arma 3 on a ramdrive with that much RAM. It whould be some crazy PC master race stuff. You could also get a SSD which whould have the same (if not more) impact on the performance (assuming you're not going to use ramdrive). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
St. Jimmy 272 Posted May 3, 2015 More RAM doesn't likely make any difference unless you've too many programs open at the same time. More quality RAM can make the difference: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?166512-Arma-3-CPU-vs-RAM-performance-comparison-1600-2133-up-to-15-FPS-gain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've never used RAM drive and have a Samsung 850 120GB Evo however my steam library runs off a 1TB WD HDD. I've made some pretty densely populated custom missions and would like to know how to better run them. Assuming what loopdk said that Arma 3 only utilizes a certain amount of RAM, DDR4 timings should bridge the gap to make some difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I give up 152 Posted May 3, 2015 I am starting to believe that some users in this forum do not have Arma 3 or at least do not play often. Is exactly because you use 5.2 GB RAM that you need more. Having 10% of RAM available turns flush in a pain, increase latency and degrades performance. More RAM means better performance with Arma 3, why? Because Arma 3 cache a considerable amount of data and less RAM means more data cached in to Hard Drive, obviously RAM performance (write/read/flush) is faster than whatever Hard Drive. So yes, more RAM = better performance with whatever frequency or timings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loopdk 92 Posted May 3, 2015 We agree.... Almost.. there will be no diffence frome 12 to 16 to 32. I am running 16 and with windows7 and arma i dont get over 9.4 gb So what do you want the rest for ? But the ram speed is another game... i went frome 1600 to 2666 an that gave me 6 fps :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I give up 152 Posted May 3, 2015 OP has 6GB, asked if would make difference increasing to 32GB. You said "The easy answer.... No". So whats the deal? It makes difference or not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loopdk 92 Posted May 3, 2015 No 32gb is wast of mony. Go for 12 if poseble ore ells 16gb an 2666hz Use the rest for a small ssd to arma3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Assuming what loopdk said that Arma 3 only utilizes a certain amount of RAM, DDR4 timings should bridge the gap to make some difference. You can easily move A3 only to the SSD if there is room for it. Could be tight with OS + A3 on a 120 GB. /KC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JFisher 38 Posted May 10, 2015 I recently upgraded from 6 to 12 GB RAM & i got an FPS boost of around 8 fps... I don't get above the 8.7 Usage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ktreece 10 Posted May 11, 2015 I dont know but I can only play the game for 10 minutes max and then the computer is telling me "Outofmemory" but apparently it's an ongoing issue with Arma? I just can't find a solution anywhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
