dogz 10 Posted January 10, 2010 Hmm...In forrests performance is ok (20-30 fps) but in towns or villages I have only 10-20 fps. I cant use patch 1.05 becouse I still have poblem witch flashing textures.My comp spec. Core2duo 1,86GHz 3GB DDR2 533Mhz GeForce GTS 250 512 MB and two disks 7200 with 32MB buffers Windows 7 32bits. Resolution 1680x1050 and everything switch to normal without postprocessing (off). I dont think you can expect too much with that cpu... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

generaldeath 10 Posted January 12, 2010 dont know if this is mentioned in the 50+ pages but with the latest 1.05 patch I can remove the -winxp parameter and the game runs fine on 8GB of memory with no texture problems.

Meatball0311 79 Posted January 19, 2010 If you go into Nvidia control panel/ view compatibility with games and check "show only installed games" and click ArmA 2, it will tell you to disable Postprocess Effects!!!! That is a must if you want to use any antialiasing and if you care anything about your FPS. I am getting an average of 25 fps in game about avg 20 fps on Chernarus, in the middle of forests, or in heavy combat. First and foremost disable Postprocess effects! This is what really brings down fps and our graphic cards dont like it to much. Here are my settings, check them out and let me know how they work for you.

Peterson 10 Posted January 21, 2010 Meatball0311, you should try using VSync - Force Off. Being that it will limit your FPS. I get much more FPS on a slower system at the same reso. Have you tried VSync Off before? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meatball0311 79 Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) yes I tried it with Force Off and I had horizontal tearing. Anyway I did more tweaking and I can say that my average fps is 40. My rig is running great with my settings smooth and great quality and performance.... me happy :) I am telling you if you have a Nvidia card you must Postprocess Effects: Disabled and Anisotropic Filtering: Disabledand you can crank your antialiasing!

What do I need to change? What have I overlooked? :confused: To be honest that update I think is just filled with bugs (196.21). I am using 195.62 atm and it is doing fine. There is a few things that I know us Nvidia newer card owners need to have turned off in the control panel and in game options. Nvidia Control Panel ------------------- 1. In "Adjust image settings with preview", make sure you have it set to "Use the advanced 3D image settings. 2. go to your "Manage 3D settings" and this is what I have for now and I am getting an average of 40 fps and no crazy images. Ambient Occlusion: Not supported for this application Anisotropic filtering: Application-controlled Antialiasing - Gamma correction: On Antialiasing - Mode: Enhance the application setting Antialiasing - Setting: 2x Antialiasing - Transparency: Supersampling Maximum pre-rendered frames: 8 Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration: Single display performance mode Power management mode: Use global setting (Adaptive) Texture filtering - Anisotropic sample optimization: Off Texture filtering - Negative LOD bias: Allow Texture filtering - Quality: Quality Texture filtering - Trilinear optimization: On Threaded optimization: On Triple buffering: On Vertical sync: Force On you have and should change: Ambient Occulsion: OffAntisotropic filtering: Application-controlled Antialasing -Gamma correction: On Antialasing - Mode: Application-controlled Antialiasing - Transparency: Off change to Supersampling Maximum pre-rendered frame: 3 change to 8 Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration: Multiple display performance modedo you have multiple monitors? if not this needs to be Single display performance mode Power management: Adaptive SLI performance mode: NVIDIA recommendedare you using two GPU? i dont know about this Texture filtering - Anisotropic sample opti...: Off Texture filtering - Negative LOD bias: Allow Texture filtering - Trilinear optimization: On Threaded optimization: Autoneeds to be on Vertical sync: Force offthis needs to be force ON because this is where you get tearing 3. Now go to "Set PhysX configuration" and and click "Disabled" 4. Now go to your ArmA 2 Video Options and do this: - set Video Memory to "Default" - set "Anisotropic Filtering: Disabled" - set "Postprocess Effects: Disabled" the others you can tweak on your own, but I have this: Quality Preference: HighInterface Resolution: 1920x1080 3D Resolution: 1920x1080 Texture Detail: High Video Memory: Default Anisotropic Filtering: Disabled Antialiasing: Low Terrain Detail: High Object Detail: High Shadow Detail: High Postprocess Effects: Disabled Interface Size: Small Aspect Ratio: 16:9 Wide Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fantsu 10 Posted January 31, 2010 nVidia control panel doesn't affect to frames at all. Somebody prove me wrong (video with fraps running/benchmarks/in-gameFPScounter).

kklownboy 43 Posted February 1, 2010 nVidia control panel doesn't affect to frames at all.... What can happen is that you get dipps every few seconds, from something that is polling the CP .... seen it. Close the CP frames are at 50fps steady, open it you can get 47fps~ back to 50fps, kinda annoying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Psychological affect maybe? __________________Comp: WIN XP32 Pro, 3gigs of memory dual channel, Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Dual Core, GeForce GTS250. ArmA2 frames right now: 10-13FPS, no matter what settings. 400x300 window, all OFF. 1280x1024 full, all maxed. I feel that might be true in your case, and that is based off what you have in your signature of your system specs. I cant really say at what level each settings may contribute. But I will guarantee Postprocess Effects and PhysX GPU acceleration settings do determine FPS in a big way. Edited February 1, 2010 by Meatball0311 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
