Operation Arrowhead performance optimizations/comparisons

[Necramonium 10]

I have my game totally maxed out, but for some reason trees in the distance still look like they are set on Low. Grass also seems to disappear after a few feet, and when walking i see it popup after a few feet. Can i change this with postFX?

Here are two screenshots for example:

[Necramonium 10]

Yeah, its the LOD switching for sure, as this video shows:

[chrisb 196]

Think they are still trying to sort out the 1.62 LOD problems, but its not the end of the world, still quite playable.. Only seems to be some types of tree's.

[doveman 7]

No, it's most buildings and other scenery as well. V. annoying and distracting.

Whats ur spec btw read a spost u maxed everthing out and whats ur avg fps

[powell730 1]

I'm having to put several of the video options on normal/low and it just doesn't seem like I should have to... My specs are:

quad-core i7 3770k @ 3.5-3.9 ghz

16GM RAM

Nvidia GeForce 560ti 1GB

I know there's better video cards and processors out there but I feel like this should be able to run the game with MOST settings maxed out. I'm achiving around 30FPS with the following settings:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/5zc721b6fdaovs1/arma2OA%202012-08-15%2003-36-01-10.bmp?m

Does this seem correct to everyone else? Also, I disabled postprocess effects so I could get rid of that ANNOYING blur effect.

Just Ran Benchmark 01 and average FPS was 65. Benchmark for OA was 66, and Benchmark 02 was 21. In game I average around 35-40.

Thanks for any replies!

good to see that after so many years the optimization is still crap...

[Speed258 10]

How i could optimize my arma 2 oa with this pc spec:

VGA: Asus Nvidia Geforce GT 630 4GB

CPU: Amd Phenom II x4 965 BE 3.4GHZ 4 threads

RAM: 8192 mb

Launch parameters: -nosplash -world=empty -skipIntro -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=3 -malloc=nedmalloc_bi -noLogs -maxMem=5120 -maxVRAM=4095

And i only get 15 FPS and lover, also have Nvidia Expierence which have made settings like this:

Antisotropic Filtering: low

AA: disabled

ATOC: disabled

Display Mode: Full screen

HDR Quality: Normal

Object Detail Very Low

PPAA: disabled

Resolution 1600x900

Shadow Detail: disabled

Terrain Detail: very low

Texture detail: low

Video memory: default

Visibility: 0

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Any optimization for this rig?

[domokun 515]

Yes, try these:

http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?85124-ArmA2-OA-%28low%29-performance-issues&p=2081466#post2081466

And I'd drop these 2 parameters -maxMem=5120 -maxVRAM=4095

[gloriatorios 10]

I've run the OA benchmark and got 66 FPS with the following settings

Visibility - 2128

Res. and 3D -1920x1200

Texture - Very High

Vid. mem. - Default

AF - Very High

AA - Disabled

Terrain/objects - Very High

Shadows - High

PP - Disabled

Should I got a little more when I changed some things? Thx ahead

I hope it Works.

Hi all !

I still have a huge performance issue with ArmA II with the AA and the ATOC.

I own a GTX970 4Gb VRAM and I can get all in Very High quality.

Video Memory in Default.

Except Post Process on Normal because in higher value it just give a bad blured image.

I used a Sharpen Filter in Normal.

View distance set to 2000, it's largely enough.

But don't know why, when I activate the AA (even in Low) I just experienced a really bad FPS drop when looking at dense grass area in scope or binoculars.

That's really bad, because I just want to activate the ATOC to finally get these horrible distant trees LOD away.

Do you know why ?

Is it normal for you ?

It's similar when doing the same process in ArmA III and trying on ported ArmA II maps.

I'm in 1680X1050 screen resolution.

I've always think that getting a GTX970 solved all my quality problems in ArmA games.

I speak about the options settings, not about the view distance.

Thanks for your help !

Hi, i have 25-30 FPS, when more action in come i get dropped to 15FPS, my launcher info is:

-cpuCount=4 -exThreads=3 -high -noPause -noSplash -world=empty

My PC spec:

CPU: AMD Phenom II x4, 4 Threads, 4 cores, 3.4 GHZ

VGA: Nvidia Geforece GT 630, Asus 4GB edition.

HDD: SAMSUNG HD103SJ, SATA, 1TB, 7200 RPM

MB: Asus M4A77T

RAM: 8GB Corsair, i dont remeber actually full name, but i know is 1300MHZ

OS: Win 7 x64 ULTIMATE

My in game settings:

language="English";
adapter=-1;
3D_Performance=100000;
Resolution_Bpp=32;
Windowed=0;
Resolution_W=1600;
Resolution_H=900;
refresh=120;
winX=16;
winY=32;
winW=800;
winH=600;
winDefW=800;
winDefH=600;
Render_W=1280;
Render_H=900;

serverLongitude=2147483647;
serverLatitude=2147483647;

Priority is not loose 1600x900 resolution.

So any advises how to optimize game or system, also worst case scenario is OC system.

You need new GPU because your card is not good for any game on 120Mhz monitor. You can only try to cap in game FPS at 40 or 30...how to = SHIFT + - ( num - ) then type FPS.

[Speed258 10]

I know that my card is old, but at this moment is there i can do to gain atleast 10FPS?

[infamous_pikachu 0]

hey i looked at the specs for the game and seen it has low specs so i downloaded the game on my crappy laptop but i cant get the fps i need my specs are...

plz help me I really like this game (mostly for dayz mod)

 

 

Acer
Aspire one 1-431
Intel® Celeron® CPU N3050 @ 1.60GHz 1.60GHz
(RAM)=2GB
64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor​

[Mirek 166]

 in minimum required specs for this game is clearly stated:

Processor: Intel Core 2.4 GHz or AMD Dual-Core Athlon 2.5 GHz

 

You try to run it with CPU thats far below the minimum required specs.

 

No wonder you cant get any good FPS.

 

Also by "Downloaded" You mean "legaly purchased", i hope.

[infamous_pikachu 0]

well my friend bought it on steam and sent it as a gift

 

and so your basically saying my laptop is a piece of crap

[Mirek 166]

No, iam saying your laptop is not ment to run Arma.  That laptop would be probably good enough for Watching films, browsing internet, using MS word and MS Excell, and playing solitaire or minesweeper.

[chrisb 196]

The thing about any pc desktop/laptop. They're made for different reasons, some are great at everyday stuff, as Mireks points out. Other's, on the other hand, may not be made for that and more geared towards gaming. With Arma you really need a pc that is geared towards gaming a little more. Because Arma is one of those games that needs that extra.. well. umph.. on the gaming side.

 

Not a technical post, but the nearest I could get, for now. A pc to run this series doesn't have to be really expensive, just thought out well. Hope you get to play at some stage, on a different system. :)
