improving my framerate

Recommended Posts

I agree, get a new card .., I can run ArmA all on high / very high with the following setup

PSU - 500W Silverstone SLi Dual +12V

Mobo: Gigabyte GA K8N51GMF-RH NF410 - S754

Processor: AMD Athlonâ„¢ 64 Processor 3400+ Newcastle S754 2.5Ghz

RAM: x 2 512 MB PC3200 DDR SDRAM

Hard Drive: 335GB

Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7900GS 256MB - Overclocked

Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2

And it works great!

Hello,

I read that you can run Arma on high/very high... what resolution? what's your FPS then? because i have a better system then you (AMD 3500+; 2GB's of Ram, 7950GT and i can only run at medium at 15-25 FPS... What did you do to get it run so smoothly?

Tim even the might 8800 has to run some things off.

I find PP is a frame killer when AA is very high and supersample AA is on, basically is must triple the GPU workload.

So on a 7950 I suggest you try

Vis 1km

texture low

texture filter very high

PP OFF

Blood low

terrain low

object very high (seem to avoid the LOD bug)'

shaders meduim

shadows OFF (see if that makes it play great, then try very high)

AA low

at 1280x1024

make sure Vsync and tripple buffer are OFF in nvidia control panel and AA and AF are set to app controlled, when you have set the above. exit and restart then use fraps to test FPS.

It's always a good idea to run 3d mark o6 and see where you machine compares to others as that can let you know a driver or bios setting is funkey etc as your performance might not be were it should be.
