You'll be able to play in low/medium settings barring any glitches. I've got a 7600gt, 1gig mem on a 3Ghz processor and it runs fine. Tweaking is always the way to best results though.

Maybe better to post on a performance thread though.

EDIT: I'm running the demo, mind. Don't know about the full game!

Hello

I'm no fps expert, but I think you would need to give more info about your system specs.

What processor for eg.

It's all very well to have 1 gig of ram, but if it's plugged into a ZX80 (if you remember 'em) then the result will be vastly different than if you're using a 2.6 or 3 gighz processor....

I assusme OS details would be needed too.

I have an Intel 2.6duo box with 1gig ram (dunno what speed) and a 200gb Hdd (again dont know speed) a Nvidia 7300LE (256meg) Gfx card (overclocked with toolbits) running win XP home. (dunno if this is enuf info for the experts:))

I run arma at an acceptable rate at 800x600 with everything set to low or off.

Basically, if youre in the same range of processor as me then yes your frame rate will be higher, and possibly be able to set those settings higher.

I don't know if my info helps, but have fun with your new card, whichever one you go for.

P.S.

Scuse rambling, still not sleeping much... 'orribly ill at mo' so bear with me.

If i get TWO of the same grafhics card showned above and install TWO of them.(yes it is possible) then what setting would i get. And what setting would i get with one?

Instead of buying 2 midprice cards you also could buy a better one.

I have a AMD Athlon 64x2 4600 with 2 gig of ram running two Asus Nvidia 7600GT 256MB DDR3 TV out DVI PCI-E in SLI mode.

With two running under SLI your looking at a 10 to 15 fps increase in wooded areas. The game runs ok but don't expect anything amazing.

Yeah, I would have done this under different circumstances. It would have been more cost effective for me to have bought a better card and saved up for a second. Rather than buying two with the money I had. If I want to upgrade in the future, it will now cost me twice as much.

This should be in troubleshooting or an existing thread, no ?

Anyway :

I have a Geforce 6600 GT and AMD Athlon 2000+ with 2 GB memory. No Overclocking. Call that minimum specs.

After tweaking, the full game 1.2 runs fine on normal settings with AA and AF off @ 1024*768, shadow and post effects low and slightly reduced view distance (800/1000m I think). A few glitches and random crashes (in MP most of the time), but consistently over 20-25 FPS.

Very playable and very good looking even on lower settings. Much better than what I actually expected. For basic Nvidia tweaks there are various topics in this forum already.

So far it seems to me that most medium specs computers run it better (at least comparatively) than top of the line Geforce-8800-quadcore-whatever. Probably driver issues and unsupported multithreading.

I am Running a p4,3.2gig, 1gig of ram and the Nvidia 7600GS you show listed from bestbuy.com

I'm assuming your going with the 7600 because you have a AGP motherboard? That was the reason I bought it.

I have everything on normal settings, or higher, view distance around 1200 meters, screen on 1024x7** and the game is smooth as silk.

I've been in some large scale battles online and haven't experienced lag at all. I used to have a Nvidia 5950 ultra and had a huge amount of lag and bad FPS. Now i am averaging a good 25-27 in bad situations and around 40 in normal no combat times.

For 200 bucks I couldn't be happier.

Get a card from a better company. PNY sucks when it comes to graphic cards. The last card I got from them (Geforce 4 Ti) stoped working after about 5 months of usage.

And wtf's with the PSU requirements? On my Geforce 6800 Ultra box, it says that they recomended is 450 W.

On Geforce 7600, 300 is recomended? WTF

Buy from sparkle, they make quality cards.

Because a Geforce 7600 needs less power. That's one of the improvements in the 7600 and 7900 cards over previous ones.

I have a 7600GT AGP in my system. A XCCUBE barebone. That one has only 220W! But it runs fine:) but i worried at the time i bought the 7600GT.

I guess the 220W supply in the XCCUBE is just quality stuff;)

I'm surprised that you even tried using a 220W PSU with that card, but it works . The recommended PSU is of course only an estimation, leaving room for other things like sound cards and multiple hard drives and disk drives. My 7800GT recommended 400W but ran on 350W. Though I'm using 400W now.

Still need to sell that 350W .

Actually i have 850 ram

What would you guys sujjest that i get for i can get an good clean peformance on at normal and maybe high as well.

My system specs is on my last post

Oh and the resaon i said installing two graphics card is becuase it will be cheaper and it DOUBLES itself! I will then have 6.0 model shader!! and double the other stuff. what would you guys recomend at a maxamin budget of 250 dollers? I think i need to get more ram and then just get a graphics card.

[Jack-UK 0]

Thats not how it works... it doesnt completely "DOUBLE" the spec.

You will certainly not double Shader Model ... shader model will stay the same.. its the same card...

You will double the amount of shaders.. but AFAIK its better to get ONE single card which is better, than TWO in SLI... cause you only really see the difference on REALLY high settings.. which in ArmA will probably be pretty low FPS's...

I've got an ATI X1950 PRO AGP 512mb and on all Normal it runs beautifully... but im running everything on max except the Texture detail which is on normal (for some reason ArmA overloads my memory..) with FPS usually above 20... but can drop to around 10 but up to 40 at times

[operation madman 0]

ATI X1950 PRO AGP 512mb I might get that! it comes with a free game

If i get that graphics card would i be able to play on normal?

[Jack-UK 0]

Well a word of warning if you do buy it:

1) Make sure you buy the correct version AGP or PCI-E

2) Its a power hungry BEAST.

You'll need a PSU which has at least 30 Amps SUSTAINED on the 12v rail or 22A on a dual rail system.

I bought an Enermax Liberty 520W 22A dual rail and it runs great

Gentleman I am a british squaddie who basically had some of the greatest gaming moments with OPF (it is more realistic than you realise!!! and although you would think that I have probably had enough of everything army,....well i havent.

May AA consume my every waking hour along with beer, guitars and Rage Against The Machine.

I cant be hassled with all the techno speak of the hardware sites as I have lost touch with whats hot and whats not, plus they get annoyed with us simpletons so can anyone tell me if my PC (listed below) will play AA?

Kindest Regards from England,

Andy

Depends how well you want to run it.

I have a Barton2500 oc'd to +3100, 9700 Pro 128MB, 1.5GB RAM. I run demo ArmA at 1024x800 with settings either low or very low and get FPS between 20 (cities) - 30 (fields). Not the best but playable especially on my rig. Its really not bad as thats about the FPS I get in many OFP missions and ArmA still looks fine to me considering the scale of the game.

Why not try the demo?

I'm hoping more game optimizations will squeeze out some more FPS and I'm also trying to pick up a little better video card on the cheap.

[desertfox 2]

As the above poster said: Best you download the Demo and give it a test ride

As far as I can see you will be able to play Arma fine with medium-low settings. If you plan on upgrading, I would invest into a better gfx card and a bit more RAM.

As far as I can see the Asus P4C800 does not have a PCI-e slot ( for the most recent gfx cards ) so something like an ATI 1980XT would suit the system well.

[Big Dawg KS 6]

Even I can run the demo with my very (very) slow computer, which is doesn't even meet the minimum 'requirements', it's not too pretty though.

This is what it looks like.

[Hostilian 11]

I had an ATI 9800 Pro and performance wasnt that great. Playable, but just.

I bought an ATI x1950 for about 130 quid. It made all the difference - AA runs great now! At the time it was the best card for the money (Wanted an 8800 but there wasnt any in stock - and they are 2-3 times the price).

The demo isnt that great an indicator, as its a cut down island and runs better than the full version anyway.

i get 17 fps in tank with these specs ;

4600 amd athlong dual core

7800Gt

2gb RAM

asus a8n-sli deluxe motherboard

windows vista ultimate

im pretty sure vista is screwing me over big time, that spec should easily run game

[Luciano 0]

With that graphic card your gonna run this game like crap.

Also for anyone posting their specs. Geez, must you include your foppy too?

Specs should follow this format (see below), not have useless specs like a monitor and mouse. WTF

CPU

GPU-AGP/PCI (SLI or not), speed of APG and full GPU specs. PSU if needed to determing GPU overheating.

System Ram

Thats all you basically need. Nobody cares about your CD/DVD-rom, and floppy.

[operation madman 0]

If i get this instead. would i be able to run this game on high?

Since this is computer is vista it gets an huge graphical updadte wich we all now is Derectx10!!!!!!

Well it must be VIstas fault. Your specs are good and im suprised you get as low as that.
