ArmA - Performance: 1.02(1.04)vs1.05

[-AG- 0]

Dear Sirs,

I ask you to execute the small unified test for vv. 1.02(1.04) and 1.05:

1. Use FRAPS as 45 sec. log-files.

2. Start the game and press F11 after loading main menu screen.

3. Wait 45 sec. and exit.

Note! Use game settings as following:

1027*768*32

View dist. - 1200

Add. settings (from top\left to down\right):

Norm, Norm, High, High, High, Norm, Norm, Low, High

Post the received results from xxx fps.csv as:

1.02 - 87 80 82 75 69 67 69 79 82 81 82 74 75 69 72 62 55 39 53 58 63 67 69

1.05 - 68 54 56 48 42 43 38 55 54 53 51 51 51 47 49 36 30 24 28 29 31 38 50

1.02 - 72 75 79 63 64 71 65 58 20 27 36 40 42 37 39 43 43 28 40 41 45 43

1.05 - 55 53 43 31 25 42 48 48 18 18 17 19 20 20 19 22 21 18 18 22 22 20

...and yr hardware configuration as:

D930@3750MHz\X1800XT-512Mb\DDRII667-2Gb

Thanks in advance .

I know they fixed the fog so that may have a serious impact on the latest patch

Ive just been messing around with the GFX settings, i lowered everything down too minimum and i was still getting 40fps on my 8800GTS.

wish they would hurry up and fix the damn game so i can play

I did something similar, checking FPS in both versions. Run the same test on both versions (1.04 and 1.05) without grass and your results might be the same (they were for me), suggesting the difference is because of the grass layer.

Then again, my test was looking at static scenes. Moving around may expose new inefficiencies in loading textures and what not. Still, try without the grass (terrain detail low, on 1.04 and 1.05) and see how they compare.

blast. mySQL is getting overloaded :-/

Not only without the grass, but also with PostFX as Low they are compare etc..

But it just also means that performance is NOT similar for vv. 1.02/4 and 1.05.

Please post yr testing results also.

High Post-Processing is extremely hit to performance in v. 1.05 (up to 50% (even 75% sometimes) decrease fps).

Why?? It was not in the previous versions.

To BIS: Can be it somehow connected to ATI-drivers? Is it only ATI-cards problem?

@AG

I know you're wanting an answer from BIS, but just for more information on ATI vs Nvidia for this problem....

....I'm running an NVidia 8800GTX and I get the gnarly slowdown with High Post-Processing with 1.05.

In 1.04 I've got most everything ratcheted up to "Very High" with High Post-Processing and it runs like a champ.

something in thema 1.02 PL vs. 1.05 Eu

10 minutes of game play (after al+tab) 5-10 seconds to be back in game :/

in 1.02 such stuff i had after 30-40 minutes :/

p.s.

terrain details - low

texture details - vhigh

postprocess - low

shadows -low

aa - turn off

[Dwarden 1125]

vilas i guess ur problem is that Textures VH value, what ur VRAM total ?

[Maddmatt 1]

I also seem to have a performance hit with 1.05. 1.04 ran better.

The grass layers might be part of the problem.

I hope to see 1.06 soon, hopefully it improves performance.

[vilas 477]

Dwarden on 1.02 all was OK !

vram 256but game (config) show 310

after 1,02 i could use windows, now after game over computer is slow for 30 seconds, no able to open explorer or other program

lol

This was in 1.04 though.

Hello,

I have never see that a game with a patch that give you a lose of perf : -20FPS for me.

Config :

MB : Asus P5N32-E SLI

CPU : Intel Core 2 Duo 6600

RAM : Kingston 2Go Ram

GPU : Geforce 8800 GTX

V1.4 Vs V1.5 i lose 20 FPS so the problem is for nvidia also

See you and hope they solve the problem
