ArmA testing...

Ok, then it's indeed a problem of language But if I understand it wrong, then possibly others might do aswell, so using the right terminology where appropriete is maybe a good step forward?

Anyway, I'm not here to criticize other people, especially not when they put so much effort, work, time, maybe tears, etc. in

Ur doing a great job and If it means anything hearing this from me, just another guy/fan like you , keep it up!

So from this thread I can expect that my;

Athlon 64 3500+

1GB DDR400

6800GT 256MB

Should run the game fine on normal settings? If so I'll be a happy camper.

Note my machine is running as best as it can, most latest stable drivers, no spyware, all organised and looked after.

yes u can play at low and normal settings. maybe high too but u need to setup ur graphics for best fps.

I dont really care about the detail, like i dont care if i dont spot a enemy at 2000 metres just wanna ensure good fps, and just the basics.

Can Anyone tell me what to expect?

still waiting a reply

Go get 3dmark06, scores over 3000 usually can run it 1024x768 medium it seems.

I got 1450! I'm screwed.. well then I have to buy a whole new system I guess and live on noodles and water the next year. But it'll be worth it! I'm gonna buy a PC so bad it will laugh when I install ArmA on it

Read the threads and the critics of game before your start your Robinson survivor era.

All i can say is that the game works fine on 1024×768 on medium details on a:

Amd X2 4200+

1,5GB ram (speed is currently @ 400mhz IIRC, i salvaged it from an older PC so it isnt that fast )

x1600XT @ 634/752

Which is barely a med-end system these days, and this PC is quite optimised, no weird programs running in the background, defragmentated etc

EDIT: 3dmark06 score was something like 2500 IIRC

Runs perfectly, up to 5000 VD too, after that fps drops to 25 and is not worth playing on, runs on 10k VD at about 15 - below.

Your system is very similar to mine, except the videocard. I own a GeForce 6600 and I'am getting really terrible FPS in ArmA. As the memory and CPU are nearly the same (I have P4 3.0GHz with HT and a 1GB DDR2 RAM), I think that getting a better videocard (for example, a GeForce 7800GT, 7900GS or a Radeon X1650Pro) will help me with the framerates. How do you think?

P.S. My system has a clean WinXP installation, only all newest drivers, directX9.0c and ArmA installed, but on all very low settings and resolution 800x600 I get only about 18-30 fps (sometimes, when in a forest, fps drops even under 10). Through experience, I can say that you need at least 40-50 frames per second if you want to achieve the best results in such a military simulator as ArmA.
