Framerate cap at 60?

[zootia 0]

I've been playing the game pretty good but I noticed people saying that they got triple digit fpses like 120.

My ArmA fps seems to be capped at 60, because no matter how much I lower the options, or what I render, I can never get past 60.

First I thought maybe that was a built in frame rate cap. But after reading posts with ppl getting more than that, Im starting to think, it's just me?

I have

e6600

8800GTS

2gigs ram

Anybody know whats going on here? Is there a hidded vsync option that I need to disable?

Come to think of it, with my rig I should be getting better FPS. However, I only get 25-40 average. 40 when Im in the middle of a field with nothing around me, 25 when Im in a city or a firefight. The other guy that said he had the same setup as me, except a 6700 instead of a 6600 said he got 90-100 fps @ 1280x1024. Im getting 30 on 1024x768 with no AA.

I dunno, is there something I'm missing here?

welcome to the forums

theres a few problems with 8800s at the moment, hopefully it will be fixed with either the 1.06 patch or a driver update

to turn off vsync you need to disable it in your "driver options"

there are aaaaaaaa lot of posts about this, but i doubt youll get "very good" performance no matter what you try until the problem is fixed

8800 and SLI

look into sky ,whats ur FPS ?

i'm sure it can go higher than 60 even with vsync on (tested on 70/75 and 100Hz monitor)

i get 800 FPS, in the map editor...

120 FPS in the middle of the runway on rahmadi

10-30 the rest of the time

edit: oh yeah, it runs nicer on vista

Yeah, I guess its the 8800

I turned off vsync and got some framerate improvements, but not drastic

if i use the default graphics settings (the preset normal) on my old 7900 SLI system it runs like a dream, then on my 8800 system it stutters around and drops to 10FPS if you look at a bush

you can turn shading detail to "very low", it seems to make the terrain at a distance look a bit, ya know... bad, but it stops bush lag, the if you turn terrain detail onto low that'll get rid of the grass, it should be "playable" but it won't look as pretty as it should

When you set screen res you set the refresh rate. I belive that caps the game to 60 FPS if you set 60 mhz refresh.

You can edit this is arma cfg to 120 or 200 etc. But to be honest check what refresh rate your monitor supports. Most LCD support 60. Many CRT support upto 120.

Use the lastest 8800 drivers on 3d guru for extreme performance booast for the 8800.

At that low resolution and without antialiasing .

Something is wrong with your PC, sorry .

Exactly!! my PC is totally normal. I'm prolly the biggest computer geek, majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering - so I know my PC inside and out. I take care of it like it's my kid.

I think this game has issues running on the 8800 architecture. Hopefully 1.06 fixes alot of this.
