motorcop_dude 0 Posted June 12, 2008 Many of us post topics "will my system work for this game" etc... Instead of this ridiculous non-sense I would like to know ... 1. What type of computer can run ARMA (please read carefully here) on FULL SETTINGS -- EVERYTHING ON VERY HIGH AND VIEW DISTANCE TO FULL WITH NO FPS LOWER THAN 50+ ANYWHERE ON THE MAP REGARDLESS OF TERRAIN AND MISSION TYPE. CPU / mother board?? Ram type and amount?? HD size type?? Video card or cards type sli? OR?? Please give us a realistic answer to this, I would assume that the developers had to test this game all the time and I would assume they would not be doing this on a system that gets less than 20 fps and lags etc etc. I could care less about multiplayer I know that lowers fps and creates lag, I just want to know what will actual run this game to it's, or should I say beyond it's potential. Not to mention all  of us who love it will buy Arma2, so what's the deal on that will it be a better engine or similar and what will we need to realistically run that beyond it's potential ( i know you can't say yet about arma2, but you get my point right?). I will be building a system and many other are too, many people want to upgrade but seems no one really knows what set up is best. Please help!! I just want to enjoy this game!!

Reallistic answer is such computer does not exist. If you really want >50 fps, you cannot play with everything on very high and view distance to full. On a decent recent computer (DX10 card, recent CPU) you should be able to get stable 50 fps with default settings. Once you start increasing the settings, the fps will go lower in some spots, depending on the mission and scene. If you want to compare with other products, most FPS games which run at high frame rates offer very limited view distance (less then 1 km). Products with high view distances (like Microsoft Flight Simulator, or Crysis), do not run 50 fps with "everything maxed". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
