DeclaredEvol 10 Posted March 5, 2013 med/ high, yes but don't expect ultra high. you have a great rig don't get me wrong, but arma has always released with its "ultra-high" intended to be ran on the next gen top tier PC, and you very much have a current PC, I would expect us to preform very similarly and get medium during alpha but hopefully high once released and optimized I'm thinking if my GFX Card isn't up high enough, a crossfire will spank it. I looked at the exact processing differences, it doesn't 'really' seem to matter if I have a 7950. But we'll see tomorrow wont we! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeclaredEvol 10 Posted March 5, 2013 Dude, if you have the money, just upgrade to an HD7970 Ghz ed. I imagine it would be worth upgrading to, but I seriously wonder whether or not ArmA II was just extremely poor in performance for everyone. And the fact that DX11 has more capability and probably optimizes Polygons better, you'll be looking at a better game to run even for the bad PC's. I don't think it will matter, a lot of people here are over-estimating this game... if you're right... and I am completely out of my mind. The best thing is to lower the View Distance and disable the Post Processing effects. Ambient Occlusion can be hard on AMD Machines... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Covert_Death 11 Posted March 5, 2013 you also have to consider 'medium' will be more visually appealing than 'high' in arma2 was so take that into consideration too.... i know everyone wants "better" gfx but its already going to look better, even on lower settings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vintxrgr 1 Posted March 5, 2013 I am running a AMD A4-3305mAPU with radeon HD graphics, normally runs at 1.9, runs at 3.0 overclocked. arma2 without the OC runs at about 30-40FPS for me at medium-high settings with reasonable view distance I have not tried A2 with the overclock, but im assuming a large gain. i think as long as this old laptop will pull up a slideshow of the game at minimum ill have something to work with. also yes I just overclocked my laptop, seeing 4 hours till A3 makes a man crazy enough to slap some coldpacks under his laptop, I was even thinking I might hook the shopvac up on blow and make a "hoodscoop" for my pc :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also have trackIR4 pro, CH products fighterstick USB, pro throttle USB, pro rudder USB. Is it true the alpha is 20 Gigs of download?

Nope, not max. (No one should expect to run it maxed out.) You can probably play it on high with a fairly decent view distance. Is it true the alpha is 20 Gigs of download? No, that's the full game. The alpha will be ~7GB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_zakharotta 10 Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) sweet!!! thanks Maddog!!! I LOVE YOU MAN!!!! Would you be kind to tell if I have to create a BI Store account to purchase the alpha? I have steam but don't want to go there. Also, would buying alpha (34 USD) give me access to the full game on release? Mucho gracias!!! EDIT: looks like ARMA III is from steam.

Slymy 10 Posted March 5, 2013 What do you guys reckon? Windows 7 64bit FX 8150 @ 4.5Ghz HD7870 2GB 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1333Mhz 1TB HDD @ 7200rpm I have....strange performance on Arma 2 that I have never been able to pinpoint (tried all the fixes/optimisation guides yet I seem to get crap FPS, especially in the big towns) I've always just put it down to my CPU being a bit naff (regret buying the 8150)..... Slightly dubious about buying Arma 3, especially since it's an Alpha. No point in buying something I can barely run!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

postal vending machine 10 Posted March 5, 2013 So that guy whit GTX 650 can play on high and me whit a better PC need to play on standard/high...wow! A GTX 650 will not play as well as a 680 (obviously), but right now it's all guess work. Recently a PC Gamer article stated they were playing maxed out with a Titan, although it did dip in performance in towns/big battles. A developer stated that if you can run at High or Very High settings in ArmA 2 at 40+ FPS you could play at one setting lower reasonably well. 'Reasonably well' is relative, for some people that's 30 FPS, for others 50 FPS. It's just guess work how well it will run until the Alpha is actually released.

B1n4ry 10 Posted March 5, 2013 Hey, i already posted this, but i think it's drown. ^^ Hey guy'sI'm not sure, but i think i could run ARMA 3 fine on this one -> http://www.sysprofile.de/id169773 (Warning, it's in German xd) AMD Phenom II X6 1040T@3375.14Mhz GA-890GPA-UD3H v2.1 4x 2048 MB Nanya Technology (10700) AMD Radeon HD 7850 1GB (CORE:1050 MHz MEM:1350 MHz) Actually, i can play BF3 on Ultra settings but notice its "only" at 1280x1024 @ 75 Hz W/E what do you think? Could i still run ArmA 3 if i buy me a new Monitor with 1080p? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gliptal 25 Posted March 5, 2013 Hey, i already posted this, but i think it's drown. ^^For what I know the HD 7850 has 2GB of VRAM (not only 1)... With that said, I'm afraid that CPU isn't up to the job...Yay! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm afraid you'll just have to try (or wait for someone that knows CPU's better than me, and that's about anyone)... Speaking of which, anyone with an idea about this config?

byrgesen 1 Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) Ok, im running it on a Lenovo G780 laptop with everything on low (still looks alot better then arma II) at 30-40 fps, although there seems to be lag spikes.
