gliptal 25 Posted March 11, 2013 Hey, i'm right in between the decision will i buy arma 3 or not. Game looks awesome and i'm worried i can't run the game properly with Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 Lite. All other parts meet recommendations though. Can anybody tell how my computer would run it? What the game looks like with lowest settings? Thanks. /K120 If I were you I'd just wait three days for an Alpha Lite Invite...Yay! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raklodder 1 Posted March 11, 2013 You probably need a one-core CPU at +25GHz in order to play this Alpha. It's indeed badly optimized. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shhkapuppy 1 Posted March 11, 2013 Game runs with Intel HD Graphics 2000, but you won't be able to tell what game it is with how low you need the resolution... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dethklokin 1 Posted March 11, 2013 http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri (canyourunit.com) Gives a pretty accurate answer for almost any game out there for either minimum or recommended settings, and if you don't meet the requirements, then it recommends upgrades you could consider purchasing. A pretty good site in my opinion worth utilizing. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ubascouser 0 Posted March 11, 2013 nope, not even 10% probably. better off overclocking the 2500 a bit, if you have a P67, z68, z75 or z77 motherboard you can overclock to 100*(turbomultiplier+4) Mhz.---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ---------- and a 3930K is slower than a 3570K in arma, so it's pretty pointless for this game and most other games. Possibly thinking about an overclock on my cpu is it worth it and how easey to do i can build a pc but never overclocked one thx guys.

Now in the Arma3 Alpha editor previews, when I just have a single unit, this is fine, my FPS is very fluid and perfectly playable while still having great graphics. Switch over to the aircraft/helicopter showcase mission and my FPS plummets, it's essentially unplayable and lowering my settings dramatically doesn't seem to fix it. I'm thinking the problem is the CPU, in that it's just too old and not powerful enough to display numerous units on screen, so would anyone suggest that I should aim to purchase and install a new CPU? I'm thinking the FPS is plummeting because the CPU can't handle all the units and vehicles in-game at one time? Sorry, I don't know too much about computer hardware, I've read that the CPU is what manages how many things can be displayed on screen in a fluid way.

Dethklokin 1 Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) considering someone said canyourunit.com sucks, will someone please answer my post, the site told me yes, but i guess i dont believe it now. So could someone give me their opinion? Processor: AMD A8-4500M APU with Radeon9 HD Graphics 1.90GHz RAM: 4GB System Type: 64-bit Operating system, x64-based processor Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 7640G Highly doubt it Edited March 12, 2013 by Dethklokin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not usre but it seems like it. You need a better CPU, clocked at atleast 3Ghz and an actual graphics card, I'll say Nvidia because they have less problems with the game, even though ATI runs better with a AMD board. Now my question to the group is whats a good AM3+ or AM3+ bus compatible CPU? I current'y have an AMD Phenom II X4 925 OC to 2.8Ghz, thats as far as I can push it without damaging it, I was looking at the FX-4170(4.2 Stock I belive) and the FX-6100 (3.3 Stock), I need to know any suggestions of which ones better or of another chip that will preform better in that price range.

Personally I wouldn't press that button...Hi,i ask myself, which DirectX Version of the Video System is supported? Btw Crysis3 wants an DirectX11 graphic card for the Minimum and dont Run on DX9 or DX10 Systems. This is a good question, as a wild guess I'd say a DirectX 11 VGA is not required...Yay!
