ah that sounds alright

it looks like the game demands a ton to play with

but if there teh specs i shud get away with everything on high with minor fps ^_^

[max power 21]

everything on high?

Mmm... Believe it when you see it. I'm sure the view distance setting alone will be enough to make your computer feel like a 486 dx. I can make my current box choke on OFP... it's all a matter of harmonizing the view distance settings with the other detail levels. You should be able to get away with a lot of eyecandy and some reasonable setting tweaking with your current set up, though.

I'm sure the view distance setting alone will be enough to make your computer feel like a 486 dx.

Make that SX :P

But don't be scared of the high specs. I know they seem like a lot, but think about it. Which would be better:

1) to get a chance to set the graphics SO EXTREME that no computer on the market will be able to run it

OR

2) to get an engine with a limiter, so that you CAN play the game at max with the best system

I just think, that in 6 years time, you can still slide the VIEW DISANCE and TEXTURE QUALITY settings higher and higher and get a better picture.

It's not that the engine is bad, it's just how much you want it to do...

[CameronMcDonald 146]

Dav1D, you're well up and over the recommended specs, so I'd rest easy on that front. Except maybe the processor... but have you ever tried overclocking? What motherboard are you using?

I have found it easy to squeeze at least an extra 300+MHz from a P4 relatively simple in the past. Not sure about the newest Conroes, though. I should like to get my hands on one once I grab a new GFX card.

AMD 64 3500

2GB RAM

6800GS 256MB

That would be my spec's, and I hope this will give me a nice view. If not.. I'll buy better.

Intel P4 3.2Ghz Dual core (Yes, I know) Processor.

2Gb DDRII Dual Channel RAM.

512mb nVidia 7500.

I'm hopeing to get some fairly good results from that.

Not amazing graphics but still looking fairly nice.

That piece of junk will never play ArmA Get something decent you cheapo.

Nah I'm kidding, but there is no such thing as a nVidia 7500 video card

[Heathen13 0]

Actually there is... it isn't on the website for some reason. This made me think. But I'm 100% positive its a 7500

[DeathRow 0]

I have all the minimum specs except for the graphics card. Do you think it will give me an error if i dont gfx minimum specs?

[CameronMcDonald 146]

Probably not, since BIS aren't as anal retentive as Microsoft (anyone tried to play Rise of Legends with a crappy system? Won't even let you start!. But it will run like a duck with its beak nailed to the floor.

[maxqubit 1]

For my P4 2.8 @ 3.1 / 1 GB RAM i'm going for a moderate 7600 GS AGP silent gigabyte

I hope and expect to run decently on 1024x768 and be able to see at least something. Every click over 1000 meters view distance will be greatly appreciated:)

[mattxr 9]

well i just got my 3gig ram into my PC i thought id take it for a test drive..

On tonal with 5000 view distance meduim t detail...

i think im ready for Armed Assult, with my new state of the art PC..

[sirex 0]

let the willy waving commence!

tbh i have a pc, it works just as any like it. its above the recommended specs, so im happy enough.

would ATI radeon 9250 be good enough to run ArmA cause im worried.

Yes, but you would need to give the ventillator on the VGA an extra rotation with your finger so the VGA won't melt.

What I would like to know... only to get a comparison...

we all know the clip of those Abrams in a line, advancing on the desert and the Oh58 flying over those thousand T-72s vs. M1A1s

What were the specs of the machine where the video was run on... now this was fluent and withough a bit of lag.

2 x Dualcore CPU, 4 x SLI ??

Good question. I´m only guessing, and hope the system was weaker.

Quote[/b] ]would ATI radeon 9250 be good enough to run ArmA cause im worried.

If it's true that ArmA requires pixel shader 2.0 support then I think no, it wouldn't be good enough.

Even if it didn't, I guess you'd have to tune down ArmA to look just like OFP or have it running at slideshow pace.

With my current computer ArmA would simply fry it  

AMD Sempron 2400+

GeForce MX440   my FX got fried

512DDR RAM

ad the one I'm on right now runs even slower even with it's 6600 FX and 3200+ Sempron... strange how package PCs run a lot slower than custom made ones isn't it..

[tr22rt 0]

Athlon X2 4600+

2GB RAM

X1900XTX

Somebody just had to come along and show off after I posted mine

The proposed system specs are visible in a number of places including the community wiki, I think this thread serves no real purpose, certainly there is no need for a thread for people to discuss their own PC hardware.
