paragraphic l 2 Posted July 9, 2009 you probably have a bottleneck in other hardware most likely CPU, but it could also be your memory for example because of this you might not be able to go higher even though your GPU is capable of higher if it truly doesn't matter how high you set it.

KeyCat 131 Posted July 9, 2009 Before bying new hardware try Windows XP. Lots of posts indicates that Vista is (currently) the culpritt for many people experienceing heavy performance issues. /KC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DLcmdr 0 Posted July 9, 2009 So im bottlenecked with a E85000 overlcocked at 3800 that is totally stable?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeyCat 131 Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) Some will say you are but I say your'e not! A E8500 along with a Geforce GTX 275 should have no problems running ArmA II (at reasonable resolutions). I have less machine and it works fine here on Windows XP at high settings. I do suffer from some lag and LOD issues in the bigger villages as many others do but I'm sure that will improve with future patches. Personally I think Vista (and it's drivers) was a lemon since day one and stuck with Windows XP. I know it's a pain to change OS but IMO it's worth it! If you still want to have Vista I suggest looking into dual booting at least for confirming if things improve for you in Windows XP. /KC Edited July 9, 2009 by KeyCat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

7SD-Toker 10 Posted July 9, 2009 I´ve got the same problems. Vista x64 with 6Gb RAM Intel Q9650 ATI 4870 1Gb. Stutters along at 25 FPS and drops in citys. Graphics flickers and no more FPS whatever settings I try. Hope to get a good patch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeyCat 131 Posted July 9, 2009 Im running at 1680x1050, maybe that is the problem?? It's easy for you to test, just lower the resolution and see whats happen. But I think your Geforce GTX 275 should be able to handle 1680x1050 without problems, it's one of the faster graphic cards around today. /KC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaundiced 10 Posted July 9, 2009 to anyone suggesting these symptoms may be due to a bottleneck: -STOP giving advice to people, you truly don't understand how a bottleneck makes itself known. a bottleneck would not be responsible for consistent framerate regardless of settings. even with a bottleneck you would get substantial boosts at the lowest render resolution and detail - it is common sense. this appears to be an LOD scaling issue with the program. or something else related to software.

nuggetz 0 Posted July 9, 2009 Try a new nvidia profile or reboot. As soon as the game starts acting funny with regards to piss poor FPS, give your profile another look or the driver a re-install. Just having a setting in your ARMA2 profile set incorrectly can mean the difference between butter and molasses. At least this is what I've noticed in my experience. No amount of arma tweaking helped. It's always been the profile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
