Killerwatt 0 Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) Well My new rig will be ready in a week and I cant wait to see how it will run ArmA2.

Comments welcome on my choices of parts. Awesome Gaming Machine but i don't see why the need to have such high power gear just for arma 2.. could run that at very high-max with a system like mine OCed..

Ah yes but this rig will also be running FlightsimX, Rfactor, and various other sim type games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
=Spetsnaz= 0 Posted June 4, 2009 Ah yes but this rig will also be running FlightsimX, Rfactor, and various other sim type games. ahh k , i was limited on my budget but still ended up spending around $550 NZD, i got all my parts expectionally cheap,$265 NZD including gst and shipping for my 4850 card,$147 NZD for dual core and shipping, $99 NZD for 4GB of ram and $104 NZD including shipping for motherboard, so around $280 USD. Everything is expensive here, and at 17 and only working 7-10 hours a week and earning $70-100 NZD and paying $30-40 board, i can't always end up getting the best rig so i stick to my budget. 2 weeks ago i was stuck on a crappy single core amd 3500+ 2.21ghz,1gb of ram and 939 socket mobo, i just upgraded to my new 4850 yesterday and OCed it!

Killerwatt 0 Posted June 4, 2009 LOL I was well overdue an upgrade, my current rig is a Pentium P4 prescott based system with AGP graphics! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Killerwatt 0 Posted June 4, 2009 Rak, My pentiumP4 3.4Ghz with two gigs ddr ram and a radion X1650pro 512gig AGP card can run it at low setting and it looks around the same as ARMA1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
=Spetsnaz= 0 Posted June 4, 2009 LOL I was well overdue an upgrade, my current rig is a Pentium P4 prescott based system with AGP graphics! Nvidia and Intel were way too expensive for me so i didnt buy them, neither for the quad cores since they were priced around $400+ NZD!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paradiiso 10 Posted June 4, 2009 Do we wait absolutly the graphics cards directx 11 to change system ? :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr71mb0 10 Posted June 4, 2009 Thanks for your answer....but if i make an OC to the processor this will not help to me??mr71mb0 you have an C2Duo ... do you play well with this?? thanks a lot Yes, but as I said, on the single player campaign I have found that the FPS drops to 25fps for some reason. Setting Graphics as low as possible doesn't increase them. So it doesn't seem to be linked to graphics settings. on the 1st island it's up round 75fps with full graphics settings.

ZIKAN 0 Posted June 4, 2009 Hi, im wondering if anyone has a similar rig as mine, and what kinda results they have with Arma 2. And is it even playable with this spec ??? I havent upgraded my system for about a year as i have mostly been playing on my xbox 360 and ps3. so.... AMD Athlon 64 x2 4200+ 2gb DDR2 RAM (soon to be 3gb) Nvidia Geforce 7900 GS 256mb Windows XP Home SP3 I can play Arma 1 mostly on medium settings currently. I kinda know already i will have to upgrade somewhere/ some time... Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have 2GB of RAM, ATI x1950pro which is very similar to your 7900GS and a C2D E6750 CPU which i believe is quite a bit faster than yours and the game is barely playable to me with everything mostly on low and 1280x1024 resolution. It's not really unplayable but the FPS drops below 20 way too often for my liking. I'm definitely going to have to upgrade my GPU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes but, people who have Quadcore have the same problem as you...so maybe is a bad code problem from the game.

Binkowski 25 Posted June 4, 2009 I have.. AMD X2 Dual Core 2.7Ghz 3GB Corsair DDR3 8800GTX XP SP3 I have to run the game on normal, filtrate set to 100% for playable performance, if I increase the filtrate, even to 125% my frames drop. Tremendously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
