That is a very good result, your CPU frequency is a little bit lower etc. -Which mainboard did you use? -Are you 100% sure AVX512 is really on - sometimes you can enable it in the mainboard settings but it is turned off in your AIDA64 screenshot or in CPU-Z ? This happended to a friend of mine. Just asking to be 100% sure, from my estimate of you values I think it is on. Will try to emulate your settings with my system.

pret0rian8 0 Posted February 6, 2022 Hi, Im going to buy new pc, what do you recommend for ArmA 3: KOTH? Should I go for 5800x or 12600k? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ajdrigs 0 Posted March 16, 2022 Okay so, This is what I'm saving for, I didn't add a GPU cause I have a EVGA 1050 Ti SC, And I'm on their waiting list, BUT I have two sets of ram on this list, And I'm not sure which to get, One is a $340 cl14 G.skill at 3600MHz 14-14-14-34 2x16 GB kit, The other is a $300 G.skill Neo cl16 4000MHz 16-16-16-36 2x16GB kit. Would the cl14 be worth the extra $40? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JHgV6r Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dadax 12 Posted March 16, 2022 the extra 40 bucks are totally worth it in ARMA 3 - latency is everythign with a 12900K or similar in the CPU limit. I didn t play antistasi I just missed a Liberation but it is nice to play in huge COOPs 40-90 participants and 60-100 fps average around 85 fps everyday P.S.: capped at 100 FPS due to my monitor 3440x1440@100hz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sertica 18 Posted March 21, 2022 What is minimum windows version for the top 2 allocators in the above benchmark? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldbear 390 Posted March 22, 2022 @Sertica I will answer here to the question you open elsewhere 😕 I will quote your question ... Quote I'm looking at parts for a new PC: ASUS PRIME B660M-A D4 Intel i3-12100F (or i5-12400F if that is not in stock by the time I order) CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB Back to basics to choose hardware to play Arma 3 - a fast and efficient processor with a large L3 memory cache, - a fastest RAM kit with aggressive timings, - the fastest and most stable disk storage available At present, my Arma 3 rig is based upon AMD Ryzen 5 5600X/ AMD RX5700_8GB/Ballistix 32 GB (2x16 GB DDR4 3600 C16 /M.2 1TB+SSD M.2 500GB+SSD M.2 500GB. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is a good asset for paying Arma 3 as seen here . If I had to change configuration here and now, without much hesitation, I would opt for an Intel platform centered on a Core i5-12600KF, the Max Turbo at 4.90 GHz gives it an edge ! If the Core i5-12600KF turns out to be too expensive, the best fallback should be a Core i5-12400, I find the performance of the i3 relatively limited in comparison.

I3 does not exist in Canada anyway. i5-12600K is $360. i5-12400F $230. Due to severe fibromyalgia my only income is tax rebates. The main points of contention now are amount of RAM and Windows version. Basically, can I get away with 16GB without disk swapping? Evidently MIMALLOC or AMPERSAND is the way to go with allocators. But I need to know what Windows they require. I'd rather stick with W7 if possible. I already hate Windows enough as it is and the stories of bloat and forced stuff in newer versions scare me.

Sorry for answering late, I am not following the forum as much as before. You need to ensure that your Windows Version has the ability to secure/to lock pages for the mallocs to work. My Advice: If you alerady have a working version with invoice of W7, I would buy an upgrade to W11 from an e-tailer, W10 is also an option that you could definitely use, W7 idk. Why W 11 - there will cetrainly be some general performance improvements with future updates that MS will keep W11 exclusive and those might even help in Arma 3.

vladosarma 5 Posted March 23, 2022 Hi all! perhaps someone will be interested in a test on a laptop with 12700h :)) i get 65 fps win 11 12700h 1x16 gb ddr5 4800 cl40 Mux switch - gpu Rtx 3060 140w i think if i add another dimm my frame rate will go up to 80-90 fps with good cooling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldbear 390 Posted March 24, 2022 @Sertica I will try to address your points of concern : the amount of RAM and the version of Windows. - 16 GB as a 2 x 8 GB kit is more than enough. My own pick will be Crucial Ballistix Kit 16GB 3600 MHz C16. - Support for Windows 7 ended on January 14, 2020. It means that Microsoft is no longer providing updates and Security updates /fixes. Continuing to use Windows 7 is not a satisfying option. Microsoft will continue to support Windows 10 until October 14, 2025. In my opinion, the right option is to change to Windows 10 64 bit. There will always be time to upgrade to Windows 11 when Microsoft has taken care of all those little things that can make it unpleasant to use on a daily basis.
