I think i will change my mind and buy a C2D finally. I will save about 100€. If I were about to update my cpu and $$$ wasn't a problem I would go quad. Remember, alot has to do with how well you've tweaked your settings for instance my Mark score has risen almost 1000 points with my cd2 8500 after all kinds of fiddling, ie.oc's; graphic card settings, de-frags etc...

Phenom X4 955 BE is one of the best CPU of the moment according to computer specialist. 4890 is the top single core GC for Arma2 according to an article.

fabrizio_t 58 Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) Am i the only (mad) one trying to run this game on a lappy ?

scottw 0 Posted June 5, 2009 On my normal settings I run I got around 5500 so about 600 point increase, on the normal settings stated by the thread starter I go around 5500 again so may be im CPU limited now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MNX 10 Posted June 5, 2009 Isn't one big limiting factor the HDD performance ? Or how it is defragmented and optimised ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottw 0 Posted June 5, 2009 Yeah I think HDD would normally be a limiting factor, but im running SSD's and with literally no seek time I wouldnt have thought they might be the issue, I am getting a little low on space though and the performance does start to degrage when you get a little low on them, so think a clean up and a TRIM is in order, see if there are any benefits, might finally uninstall ArmA :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
binkster 0 Posted June 5, 2009 Maybe Harddrives can be a factor. I have a cheap 160gb as mine and I downloaded HD TUNE and mine is only running 100mb/s in the benchmarks. Can anyone else test this and let me know what Mb/s they are getting and which HD they have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottw 0 Posted June 5, 2009 I just re-run HD Tach and Avg Read time was 220Mb/s im running an OCZ Vertex, ive got two but im not running them in raid at the moment but raid0 gives me around 480Mb/s, unfortunately I dont have another drive sitting around that isnt filled with data so I cant really test to see if there is any difference for you :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You got worse score then my rig, how it can be? Check this game with Windows7 We have the same GPU but your processor is quite better then mine. It means either your windows xp is overloaded and full of crap and trash :) or arma needs more GPU power. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking about getting another 4850 to crossfire, but I think I will wait til the DX11 cards that will be coming out in the fall.

Blechreiz, can you post your screen resolution (hope it's huge :p ) I run it at 1680x1050. ------------------------------------------------------------- My Post was: - AMD Phenom II X4 955 4x3.20GHz - Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P 790X - G1024P Club3D ATI Radeon HD4890 1024MB video card - 4096MB Corsair PC3-10666 CL9 Kit (DDR3 1333+) - 680W SuperFlower Atlas Design Modular - (temps never higher than 55°Celsius) - (on Windows Vista 64). CPU/GPU not overclocked, fresh BIOS (may 2009)update. Texture Detail - Normal Anisotropic Filtering - Normal Terrain Detail - Normal Objects Detail - Normal Shadow Detail - Normal PostProcess Effects- Low Fillrate - 100% Score 3025 If your AMD Phenom2 X4 955 BE (4x3.2 GHz) with an ATI 4870+/4890/Geforce 275+ !ONLY! ON AM3 (DDR3 PLATFORM) gives you a low score UPDATE YOUR BIOS. I HAD TO UPDATE MY Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P 790X BIOS TOO. YOUR MAINBOARD IS IN 90% OF THE CASES OLDER THAN THE 955 CPU. SINCE I UPDATED MY BIOS FRAMES INCREASED! DO IT ON YOU OWN RISK..bla..bla...and so on. This is one key reason for low frames with this CPU. Note there are other reason that may impact on benchmark scores (for example: high quality overall settings in graphic card settings) Edited June 6, 2009 by Blechreiz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now the scores are quite different one maybe 2375 and the next 2975 No settings changed. This usually happens cause you need to run it once to let all the crap load into ram.
