I tweeted nvidia about focusing on A2OA performance, and got this reply.

Can anyone comment on what this means exactly?

I think the FP16 is somekind GPU render method - which runs faster than normal ones

I think its a way of cheating texture fill rates to get better performance , not quite sure how this relates to arma though :confused:

Im prolly wrong lol

[Guest General Nuisance]

Here's my ArmA2.CFG setup:

language="English";

adapter=-1;

3D_Performance=100000;

Resolution_Bpp=32;

Resolution_W=1280;

Resolution_H=1024;

refresh=75;

winX=16;

winY=32;

winW=800;

winH=600;

winDefW=800;

winDefH=600;

Render_W=1280;

Render_H=1024;

FSAA=1;

postFX=0;

GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1000;

GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=3;

HDRPrecision=8;

lastDeviceId="";

localVRAM=919994368;

nonlocalVRAM=1878290432;

Windowed=0;

Should I change anything?

Are there any settings in the Nvidia Control panel that I need to adjust? I've turned off v-sync for ArmA2.

Isnt FP16 a reference to the 16-bit floating point performance/precision of the GPU, isn't there also FP32 (32 bit)

I have a 470 with the latest drivers but in the game anything more than a few meters away is a blurred mess. Looks like a very low resolution. I've disabled post process and changed various settings but no luck

Sounds like post process refusing to turn off for unknow reason. I would try turning off both anisotropic filtering and anti-aliasing from game settings and from nVidia drivers settings. I think driver settings may override game settings if same setting has set in a different way in two places.

[ARMAfansa 10]

Tried that. I'm not sure it's even post process. Just seems like everything far away is at a low resolution. All blocky for a lack of a better term

[Dwarden 1125]

i hope You have disabled occlusions in NV advanced driver options

[brigada_spanish 11]

Yeah that's the same error message I get when my video freezes, screen goes black but I'm still in the game, can move my man around and shoot etc.. I can ALT TAB out and see the desktop fine. I have never tried letting it sit for 2-3 minutes. I always End Task on ARMA then restart it. Please post if anyone has a fix for this Display Driver Stopped working bug.

I'm running Vista 32 bit on an Intel Quad core 2.4gHz (Q6600) 4 Gig ram with 260 GTX graphics

I have the same problem.

Any solution?

[stormridersp 11]

how to show fps count?

[mrcash2009 0]

Grab free version of fraps and run it before entering game it has option to overlay FPS count in-game.

[Scarey 10]

Im trying to run OA/Combined ops in NV surround non 3d, has anyone been able to do it successfully? My stuff works fine with everything else but OA!?

when I try to run OA it BSODS everytime, BTW I have all the latest drivers.

[nikiforos 450]

I installed the latest Nvidia Drivers and I have to say Im dissapointed. Less FPS and somehow the graphics are strange.

Anyone else with the same experience?

[Baz 0]

using a Nvidia 8800 GTX and i am constantly showing a black receiving screen and CTDs sometimes too

No issues with 263.09 (or any of the others in recent history).

Hi

I'm having this problem.

http://www.imagehost.co.za/share-E41C_4CF3F729.html

Note the trucks coming down the road

http://www.imagehost.co.za/share-B3C7_4CF3F729.html

Note the trees in the distance are green blobs

http://www.imagehost.co.za/share-369F_4CF3F729.html

Note the tank in the distance

Once within a few meters the detail appears and everything looks fine. A virtual memory problem perhaps

260.89 drivers on MSI 470 running WinXP SP3.

Changing in game video settings doesn't fix the problem.

[soldaten 0]

Can someone recommend Video Settings for me.

Should the use everything at "VERY HIGH" considering my Video card? I have Arma2/OA and I get slowness sometimes. I updated to 1.56 OA using ACE.

[baz44331 10]

no i have a 480 and i dont have everything on VERYHIGH lol, textures veryhigh, Memory default, everything eles high, that should be ok,

[soldaten 0]

IS there a manual to properly adjust Video Settings on ARMA2 and Nvidia Control Panel?

[bangtail 0]

You shouldn't have to touch anything in the CP tbh, the current profile works perfectly for single and multi GPU setups.

If you want to tinker nonetheless,

NVCP --->

Manage 3D Settings --->

Select Program settings tab --->

Select a program to Customize--->

Select ArmA II or Arma II OA profile.

added hint to first post

as disabling the Ambient Occlusion inside NVIDIA driver panel resolved visual glitches

[spamurai 3]

There doesn't appear to be a toggle for Disabling PhysX under the Control Panel anymore.

I can only choose from "Auto", "GTX260", and "CPU"

CPU means PhysX disabled.

[spamurai 3]

CPU means PhysX disabled.

thanks

With the risk of asking something stupid, where exactly is this option? I cant see it in my CP. Driver version currently used is 260.99.
