I'm Having similar issues. I have an i5 2500k overclocked to 4.5Ghz and a GTX 670 also overclocked a bit. In single player i did some of my own benchmarks with 200 ai (100 vs 100) and it was playing comfortable at 25-30 FPS until stuff died and it started climbing to 40+. I also ran the altis benchmark on high-ultra settings, 1600 overall distance and i'm getting 63 average FPS. On reasonably populated scenarios I.E. <=100 ai i EASILY get 50-70 FPS, and of course on sparsely populated scenarios i hit 100 FPS, but when i play multiplayer, for example patrol ops or invade and annex server, I get 15-30 fps, averaging maybe 23-24 FPS. Its basically unplayable and i don't know what to do. I've tried every tweak that exists on these forums including playing with command line options and modifying my graphics settings from nvidia control panel, but no matter what i do i get like 50% GPU usage and 30% average CPU usage, and garbage FPS, so i'm at a loss of what to do. I've been considering upgrading to a new i7 (forgot the model but its a good one), but im scared it wont actually make a difference, but I keep hearing about people running those public server maps with like 60FPS and i sit here thinking how can that POSSIBLY be true? I'm at a loss =(

Arma 3. Its mostly everything arma 2 was with more. Plus having not-broken mouse controls (I.E. negative mouse acceleration) is amazing.
