Once again with this game performance issue

[psoutrage 0]

ok where do I start, well I bought a used computer a few months ago AMD Althon 5200+ with a 8600GTS and 2GB G.Skill mem, the game like everyone else is complaining about the game ran like crap. I upgraded to a whole new system last week.

GA-MA790GP-UD4H (FOR GAMING)

AMD Athlon 5050e x2 Dual Core (KINDA GOOD FOR GAMING BUT WORKS AWSOME ON ALL OTHER NEW GAMES)

Cooler Master Hyper TX3 w/High Performance thermo compound

XFX Radeon 4850 1GB MEM (FOR GAMING)

4GB Kingston HyperX 1066 Running@800 (FOR GAMING)

Arma STILL runs like crap, it lags lags lags. Far Cry 2 beats this game up making it look like Mario Kart (the NES Version)

I have no trouble with running Far Cry 2 and Cryisis, Ive patched this (Arma) game to 1.16(beta), Ive tried it with 1.14 and all other patches and ive updated to the latest video card driver. I paid $39.99 bucks for this game when it first came out.

I probably wont be paying for Arma 2 and invest my money for the developers who can make a game.

Sorry for flaming but really they stopped trying to figure out what the reason is and now they gonna mess around with Arma 2 and forget about Arma 1 so now where all stuck with a dead beat game.

Your cpu is woefully inadequate for Arma. It's an Athlon 64 X2. Your video card should be okay for Arma but TBH, a lot of peeps complain about Arma performance using the HD48xx series.

haha "inadequate for Arma" I believe all systems are inadequate for arma if it isnt one thing then its another. and the 5050e at each core running at 3.1ghz "Should" be fine to play any game including Arma. Like I said if my 5050e can run crysis and far cry 2 with out a problem what makes arma so special. Crysis being the most demanding in hardware. What I think is really funny is Arma does not support SLI or Crossfirex when in order to run the game it requires a super computer to run it with settings on Med!!! But anyway its not your fault DesertJedi however so your saying that the system requirements stated by developers are liars? here's the system requirements

Minimum Specification:

* CPU: 2 GHz

* RAM: 512 MB

* Nvidia Geforce FX with 128 MB RAM & pixel shader 2.0, ATI Radeon 9500 with 128 MB of RAM

& pixel shader 2.0

* Free HD Space: 3 GB (or more as needed for downloadable addons)

* Software: Windows XP or Windows 2000 and DirectX 9

Recommended Specification:

* CPU: 3 GHz

* RAM: 1 GB

* Video Card: Nvidia 6800 and above or Ati x800 and above with at least 256 MB RAM

* Free HD Space: 3 GB (or more as needed for downloadable addons)

* Software: Windows XP and DirectX 9

so my inadequate 5050e with 6.2ghz of play still isnt good enough even though it only requires 2ghz and recommended 3ghz Im lost.

umm yeah the GA-MA790GP-UD4H just came out so do some research moron. And the 4850 is very "adequate" for the game, and you all know wtf im talking about so the only fool here is you. Game sucks end of point. go buy arma 2 you f@cking suckers haha

btw you guys are retards the dual core does work as 2 processors and each core runs at 3.1GHZ so yes the cores together = 6.2GHZ learn your SHIT before you embarrass yourself

dumb a$$'es

Guess there are still people like the ones replying still do play games in 640x400 still on low settings great to see old people can play too.
