Arma 3 fps bug?

[icexdive 10]

Hello Soldiers,

 

I really don't know what to do. I played a lot of Arma 3 in the last few days, always with 40+ fps. There were no lags or anything.

But when i started playing today my fps did not make it above 10-12 fps for no reason. Its really laggy now. It does not depend on the gamemode or map, its everywhere.

My Ping is fine and my hardware should not have a problem with this game.

• CPU: Intel Xeon e3-1231v3 3.40 GHz
• GPU: MSI R9 390 Gaming 8GB RAM
• RAM:8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR3-1600
• MB: ASRock H97 Pro4
• PSU: CS 550M COOLER

It came outta nowhere. I have never had a big problem with this game.

 

Any ideas what it could be? I reinstalled it and i also tried to set the settings to low - still 10 fps -_-

 

Pleas ask me if you need further information.

What all processes do you have running in the BG while playing Arma ? Have you tried softwares like Game Booster 3 etc which shuts down unnecessary processes before executing a game? Maybe a new bg process is interfering. Or windows / software updates. I rarely play online hence I am assuming it should be with your various background update tasks maybe?

 

Alt+Ctrl+Del, then Task Manager, then see what tasks are utilizing how much % of your memory and network. That should be a good way to begin your research.

 

And once you have launched arma from a launcher, you will see arma3.exe in the Processes tab of the task manager. Right click on this arma3.exe, then Set Priority as "High".

 

Then revert with your observations please. :)

I upgraded my GFX card recently and had no improvement in FPS. Sometime I have drops in FPS as well. It seems to be mostly CPU bound.

Can you share your system specs and current FPS please? :) Maybe we can find something out.

ArmA's performance is based more upon the CPU than the GPU. Don't get me wrong, you still need a reasonably good GFX card if you want long view distances and higher detail to the terrain - my GTX 670 has done the job for quite some time, but GPU upgrades aren't going to help improve performance in ArmA much sadly.

So prior to the GPU upgrade your FPS were fine....You replaced the GPU and now your FPS are shit....sounds like a GPU driver issue to me!
