Ah, gotcha. One last question. How much does ISP and bandwidth contribute to a game like this? Im not sure what exactly I am running at right now but I have a middle of the line package with a local cable company (Brighthouse Media). I know FIOS is the top of the line but it isnt available in my neighborhood. Would something like this cause the game to run poorly even if I optimized setting/ upped my GPU?

Do you think I can get by with the 7570 for now while I save for a better GPU or should I hold off until I get the GPU?

Hello everyone! I just want to start off saying that I am rather new to PC gaming so I am sorry if anything i say/ask is super stupid :) I really want to get into Arma 3, but have been really hesitant due to questioning my PC performance ability. Currently I have DayZ and there are times where it is really hard to play due to performance (from what I have read, alpha is still having low performance for everyone) I just want to make sure that I will be able to have an enjoyable experience on Arma before I purchase the game. Here are my PC specs: HP Envy h8-1540t OS: Windows 8 64-bit CPU: i7-3820 quad core(3.6GHz I think) PSU: 460W uATX PFC GPC: AMD Padeon HD 7570 2gb 2TB SATA Hard Drive 7200rpm 12GB DDR3-1600 RAM I think that covers all the specs (again, new to PC gaming). The PC is a "pre-made" that I ordered directly from HP with customization. I got it a year ago but if I recall correctly most of the components are "upgraded" parts (not base model/standard) Im not looking to run ultra setting or anything but I was hoping for med-high with decent FPS (note; I do not plan on recording so I will not be running additional programs like FRAPS which I know drops FPS). From what I have read, the GPC could use an upgrade (to a 7750?), but if I can avoid it I would rather not have to. Thanks!
