My Rig Worked

Recommended Posts

my new rig specs below ran ArmA at everything high and over 70 FPS consistently clocked on ECS. Very happy. :) No problems or graphics issues at all. Went from measly below 15 fps with everything low on my laptop to this performance and spent only the same amount of money I did buying this laptop! For those of you putting a rig together for ArmA, my setup could be a guide. I purposely avoided more than 4gb of ram and make sure my video card has at least 1gb onboard memory as all over the forum, people with 512mb onboard memory has tons of problems. (I also avoided patching to 1.14 since it didn't seem to do anything positive for my installation on my laptop and I am very happy with how it is running now anyways. Of course, I would need 1.14 if I want warfare)

One thing though, with Post Processing on high, you can hardly see iron sights at all as its all blurred to a pulp. Is it meant to be that way?

one more thing, my monitor has a peak refresh rate of 75, which may be why i can get above the 60 fps mark.

From what I have read about Postprocess Effects yes it does cause things to be blury but, its use is for many other things which are pointed out in the post here http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=79786.

As for the Monitor I'm not very clear on how thats works.

Yes, PP does create the effect of different eye focus but surely the focus is on the front iron sight when it is used right? Shouldn't be blurred out so its unusable.

You look at the target when shooting and not on the front sight, and therefor it is blurry. If you look at the front sight when tracking a target then the target would be blurry as your not focusing on it. That would be worse. :)

Guys, this problem is corrected in ArmA 2. :) Apparently, the BIS guys noticed this and the PP in ArmA2 will not blur out the ironsights. :)
