^did you change anything between runs?

quite a difference. If there is that much variation between runs, then the test is almost useless.

First run is always low.... Its been said again and again it has to load data.

To give an example put a unit in a city and preview. Do a whole 360 and it will be a little jumpy at first. Now stop and restart mission and do the same thing over again......everything will be smooth. This is because textures and other dta... are loading.

@Protegimus I have tried the maxmem feature in vista. Ive tried everything that I have done in xp. Even after going from 2gig to 4gig of ram nothing changed.

I think MY vista is screwed... Maybe virus's or something. I only use vista for my business and usually game on xp. Thats been the case since vista has been released. Ive never like vista other than the eye candy and some features over xp.

Score 2204 and (Score 2204 with resolution 1280x1024, low settings)

Using the nvidia driver 178.13 did'nt benefit my performance with 8800GTS-640Mb

OCíng the CPU helped

OCíng the GPU did not help noticable

from 3 to 4Gb did help (even with WinXp32, using dual channel i guess) but only 3Gb was adressed.

Disabling virusscanner helped due to not scanning files.

Goiing from 1.01Beta to 1.01 final helped

these results are from the mission start, i believe when u are gaming, you should consider it as goiing on forward.

Every time u run the test over and over again it will get better.

ie. mine started once with a score of 2105 and ending with 2525(3rd run)

Desrat, does your motherboard not offer a FSB:RAM multiplier that will allow you to increase RAM clk while keeping within its limits and maintaining high FSB? Your memory bandwidth (and probably your ArmA2 performance) is being crippled with your current configuration.

Sorry my post was a little unclear - ram speed was quoted at 300mhz but thats the FSB speed so memory is 600mhz (DDR2 double data rate) at 4-4-4-12 timings.

I'm using the 1-1 devider I'm still tweaking the overclock with my aim to run at 333mhz fsb which will give me a 3.0ghz cpu (9x333) and put my ram at 666mhz which is its nominal operating speed..but timings will have to be backed off to 5-5-5-15.

I tweaked my PC a little more.

I had 3gb mem before in single channel and got 1605 at arma mark. Today i removed 1gb and now i have only 2gb but in dual channel. What surprised me was that i got now with the same detail levels score in arma mark 1860. That's pretty amazing increase. I guess dual channel is a must have even though i have less mem now.

Now i'm going to bed. Too drunk.

Hpefully when i wake up in the morning i can download the patch 1.02.

If i don't, then i'm "ugly in the morning" ;)

personally i don't believe that arma 2 will give an exact real mark for the game, since all the tests are giving different results for similar systems.

Right, rolled back to the 182.50 WHQL drivers and jumped to ~3200. Worth looking at if you own a pre-GTX295/285/275 card.

Which OS are you running on? It sounds like vista since you couldnt take a screenshot. Vista blows with games and seems xp performance is way better. Try in xp if you can.

I did performance almost doubled... But I havent had anyone else confirm this. So im just assuming it was my vista causing issues. I have a dual boot. So it was easier to do rather than just someone having to reformat and do the usuall crap that takes forever.
