Ridge2209 0 Posted April 7, 2007 i got amd athlon 994 mhz 1.50 gb of ram my card is an nvidia gforce 6800 gs/xt. am i able to run the game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
b1sh0p 0 Posted April 7, 2007 I'm not entirely sure what the minimum specs are, but a 1 ghz machine, and that video card... You'll definately be cutting it close. I think you'll need to upgrade. Just looked it up. Minimum specs are... 2ghz processor 512 ram graphics card capable of shader 2.0. I don't think the 6800 does pixel shader 2.0, and your procesor is obviously not fast enough. Sorry man, don't think it'll run on your machine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karazy 0 Posted April 7, 2007 it'll probably run, but a little slower. the only bad thing is your processor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlackScorpion 0 Posted April 7, 2007 I got Athlon XP 2800+ (2.0 GHz, but comparable to ~2.8 GHz Pentium), Geforce FX 5600 and 512 MB of RAM, and the demo runs on my machine. It's basically unplayable (takes alot of patience and trying... and tanks ), but it runs and you can see the soldiers and stuff. So with that configuration, your processor is definetly the Achilles' heel, unless it's a 64-bit or multicore, since they seem to have lower speeds compared single core 32-bits. Dunno about the compatibility, but quick check showed few processors which are fairly fast (well, alot faster than 994 MHz anyways), which are in the price range of the game itself. You can always try and download the demo - if it runs, the full game will atleast run. Maybe not noticeably better than the demo, but atleast it'll run.

Yep, even the recommended (old) 3Ghz are not enough. Don#t upgrade your system with an old netburst p4 like i got since 3 years :P You must have a good cpu and not the latest gfxcard, because arma takes more advantage of a faster cpu instead of 1337 graphics cards. I got a P4 3Ghz 1GB and a X1950Pro. Now i know that a 7600GT or so would be enough because I can turn AF ans AA to its full potential and there is a max drop of 2 fps...but there aren't that much fps...my cpu slows my graphics card. regards telejunky so invest more money into a good cpu if your budget is limited Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry man, don't think it'll run on your machine.Back to top Are you kidding, it does 3.0 shaders easily with left pipelines tied behind its back. About the "994Mhz" processor, don't think the guy knows what he has, maybe even something capable of running ArmA on very low or even low. 1Ghz doesn't come even close, if it's correct.
