aussieterry84 10 Posted May 22, 2009 on this pic it says optimal settings http://www.armaholic.com/pfs.php?m=view&v=4-arma2_505_press_event_london_2_small.jpg I pretty much match them except im intel dual core 3.1ghz, so does Optimal settings mean that the settings are ALL on high? or does it mean the settings are on normal? What kind of FPS would we get with this optimal system in heavy graphical areas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddmatt 1 Posted May 22, 2009 Just another way of saying "Recommended specifications". As in, what you want to have for the game to run well. Not necessarily on high settings, it's based on their judgement. We'll get plenty of performance info once it's out and people report how well it runs on their rigs. That's something I'm very interested in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex72 1 Posted May 22, 2009 You can feel a bit relaxed though that so far reports have been that ARMA2 runs better than ArmA1. Like if you have a computer where you run ArmA1 on high/normal and its a bit laggy you might have the luck that it will run much smoother in ARMA2 with that same pc. But a standard machine today i guess is around dual core around 3ghz or quad 2.xghz and a 8800GT/9800GTX, 2-4gb RAM. If your under this i bet you still can play ARMA2 good but not necessarily on high/very high. I think you should try and get a 512mb videocard though as minimum. Anyone with fear of having to spend a lot of cash - look at second hand sites etc. They often sell modern hardware to really low prices due to fast need of money. Often there is warranty left as well. Based on what ive heard and read. I dont actually know since i havent tried it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h.IV+-I.esus- 10 Posted May 23, 2009 Glad that BIS have actually optimized their game this time around... (if it is in fact, true). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
