prp003 0 Posted November 27, 2009 Hi all, I am just about to order a new computer and I have been reading around the forums about an issue Arma and Arma 2 have with systems with 8gb of ram. I plan I getting an AMD phenom 955 X4, with 8gb DDR2 ram and an ATI HD 4890 graphics card. It will be running Windows 7 Home premium. Has the issue with ATI cards and 8GB of ram been solved yet (black blocks and textures not rendering etc)? Thanks for any information you can give me. I also plan to play Arma 2, and I hear there are similar problems so info on that too would be helpful. Thanks again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grendel [aps] 0 Posted November 27, 2009 The issues with ati cards and large amounts of ram for ArmA 1 were sorted out with the beta patch 1.15. The current patch is beta 1.17, so if you update to the latest patch you should be good. As for ArmA II: If there are any issues with ati and ram, it's news to me. I've run both ArmA and ArmA II on an Intel core 2 due 3.1ghz, 8 gig ddr2 ram, Vista 32 and 64 ultimate and ati 4870 and 4870x2 (not all at once obviously). ArmA runs like a dream with everything maxed out and veiw distance of 5000. ArmA II runs fine/acceptably with a bit of tweaking and a veiw distance of 3000.
