What to Upgrade?

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Just getting into ARMA 2 OA and such. Enjoying it so far, but I feel like I am not getting the maximum performance with my system. I can't figure out what the bottleneck is.

CPU - I7 running 3.8GHZ

GPU - Single Radeon 4890

RAM - 6GB

OS - Win 7 64bit

HDD - Can't remember off hand, but pretty much standard WD HDD

MOBO - EVGA X58

It's not so much that the game does not run smooth....I run basically on High settings but not max by any means. The game (especially multiplayer) seems to be stuttering a lot and trees and such are drawing slowly as I move.

I am considering an upgrade of sorts, possibly to a Radeon 5850 or 5870, but not sure if it's worth it....perhaps a SSD would help more

Any suggestions?

The tree drawing is due to flaws in OA itself. Just going to have to wait. As long as you get good FPS, I wouldn't complain.

If you upgrade anything it should be video card. But I believe the 4890 if it's 1GB should be more than enough.

I would say, if anything, get a new video card, though yours is pretty decent. That, or get an SSD and hope that helps.
