guerilla -MCY- 0 Posted December 23, 2006 Is there anybody here running ArmA on a Quad core PC?Because my Brother has just talked me into ordering a (Quad-Core) Intel CoreT 2 Extreme QX6700, with a GF8800 gtx. I've seen somehere some people having some issues running ArmA on Dual core PC's, I hope I'm not too future proofing! i think its not the right time for Quad Processors, as the Quad6700 isnt really Quad yet, its just 2 x Duo 6700 connected, in feb/mar should the real Quad architecture be on the market, till then i would just make sure, that you have a motherboard which is Quad-Ready. Thats at least what i've done, so i bought the normal duo 6700, which isnt even supported by Arma btw. so far i got a Duo 6700E / MSI 8800GTX / 4 Giga Ram 667Mhz which is still not enough if not far from an optimal setup for Arma, i think you need at least 2 x OC'ed 8800 GTX and such a real quad core btw; i'm crashing all the time, just testing now with some old MSI 8800 drivers...

ziiip 1 Posted December 23, 2006 I am about to upgrade my GPU and those are my choices limmited by my income either GF 7600GS DDR2 512RAM or GF 7600GT DDR3 128RAM what would that be? Current config: Asus K8N4-E AMD64 3000+ Blitz 512RAM Sapphire X550 128RAM WD 80GB And yes I know it needs atleast +512RAM.. Choose the 7600 GT. There's no 128 MB 7600 GT, so something was miswritten. And also, a 7600 GS can't take advantage og 512 MB memory because it is only 128 bit. So 7600 GT is a lot better choice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
overkill 0 Posted December 24, 2006 I've been reading and searching but have not figured out the answer to this question. Which system will be produce better gameplay??P4 DC at 3.4 ghz 1 gig ddr5300 ram nvidia 7600gs OR: p4 single core at 3 ghz 1 gig ddr5300 ram nvidia 7900gt anyone?

r2101 0 Posted December 24, 2006 the perfect pc for armedassault isn´t made yet...imho... wait til a couple of "new generation" grafx cards hit the table (and come down in price too ) upgrade then... together with a fast dualcore cpu and generous amounts of ram memory.. don´t upgrade before...that p4 singlecore thing won´t really push armedassault into new heights... neither the 7600 card *sigh*. at least my 3ghz pentium d coupled with a ati1900gt and 2gb of ram doesn´t really cut it in terms of performance... anyway...happy xmas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CPU type: AMD Athlon 64 CPU speed in GHz: 2,40 RAM-memory type: DDR2 RAM- memory speed MHz: 533 RAM-memory in MB : 1024 Cache-memory? in Kb: 512 HD size in GB: 250 Soundcard : Realtek ALC888 Graphics: Nvidia Geforce 6150 Videomemory? : NOT KNOWN Shared videomemory? in MB : 512 2.CPU type: Intel Pentium 4 HT CPU speed in GHz: 3,06 RAM-memory type: DDR2 RAM- memory speed MHz: 533 RAM-memory in MB: 512 Cache-memory? in Kb: 1024 HD size in GB: 80 Soundcard : AC 97 Graphics: ATI X1300 64/512 Videomemory? : 64 Shared videomemory?

Scarlet_Pimp 0 Posted December 24, 2006 EimaReimaHebitaks seriously mate all of them comps will struggle to play this game, all of them have on board video which will probably struggle to run mine sweeper let alone arma. My PC a64 4200 with gig ram and x1900pro gets like 20-30 fps on normal detail, and my second PC a64 3200 with gig ram and 6800gt struggles to be smooth on very low, both res are set to 1024x768.

EimaReimaHebitaks 0 Posted December 24, 2006 Ok, so hows these specs for gaming? CPU type Intel Pentium D CPU speed in GHz 3,00 RAM-memory type DDR2 RAM-memory speed in MHz 533 RAM in MB 2 048 Cache-memory in Kb 2048 HD in GB 250 Sound card Realtek ALC880 Graphics (is this integrated?) Nvidia GeForce 7300 SE Shared video memory in MB 512 And yes, it has an TV-tuner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scarlet_Pimp 0 Posted December 24, 2006 EimaReimaHebitaks sorry mate but that video card woun't cut it either, though the PC is the best of the bunch you have posted. you are going to need at leat a 7600gt i would guess and that would most probably have to play on low settings to have and enjoyable experience, at least until bis do can come up with a fix or way round the extreme demands this game puts on a machine. Must add though that i'm only playing the demo so hopefully by the time I get the full game in feb the game will be running better. I do love the game though its amaizing i'm just dissapointed that i have to set everything so low when i can play everything else on max at higher resalutions.

Heatseeker 0 Posted December 24, 2006 the perfect pc for armedassault isn´t made yet...imho... wait til a couple of "new generation" grafx cards hit the table (and come down in price too ) upgrade then... together with a fast dualcore cpu and generous amounts of ram memory.. We already have extremelly powerfull DX10 cards out there ($$$ and peoples reports arent very encouraging, same with dual core CPU's. OPF didnt really took much advantage of new HW, im afraid this might be the case with Arma too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
