Will my new comp handle ArmA well?

Recommended Posts

OK, first post - so hi everyone. I bought armed assault yesterday after seeing the screenshots, and being a bit of an OFP fan. It absolutely pwned my computer like you wouldn't believe, so I decided it was about time I ordered a new one.

I'd been considering it for quite a while to be honest, as I produce music and that requires vast amounts of memory & processing power, but this was the straw that broke the camels back so to say.

My new comp specs are;

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (2 x 2.4GHz)

2 Gigs of Corsair Ram

250gig SATA II hard drive

NVidia 256Mb 8600GTS Graphics card

E-MU 1212m Soundcard (craps on all consumer cards like the x-fi range)

I hear there are some issues with the 8 series graphics cards? have they been resolved?

'produce' music? -cool! i do a ArmA radio station!

Anyways - your specs exceed mine.... and im running ArmA quite well! (amd2800xp 1gb)

Although i cant put the shading and postproccess on max, but i believe that limitation is my old radeon X800 ....

Thanks man! glad you enjoyed it!

So, my comp should run the game fine then? That's what I like to hear!

So, with these comp specs, will i be able to run it with the graphics on full, or is that still not gonna be enough? It looks like a very demanding game - i've been checking out the screenshots!

Also, some of the screenshots look so amazing that I find it damn hard to believe the game actually looks THAT good! Anyway, I guess i'm just used to OFP graphics haha, times have changed.

I was considering going for an AMD processor, but had a look at some places that've done comparisons between the amd dual cores and intel core 2 duo's, and the core 2 duo's came out on top every time. Sad really, as they're more expensive AND i've always bought AMD, but there you go, what can you do?
