    I recently fulfilled a childhood promise to myself: to buy a proper gaming PC. Specs:

     

    ASUS ROG Strix X570-F Gaming

    AMD Ryzen 7 5800X

    Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3600 MHz 16GB

    MSI Radeon RX 6800 XT Gaming X Trio

    Proper cooling etc.

     

    I expected it would run ArmA 3 maxed out at 60+ fps without breaking a sweat, but it does not. I have to admit it is a bit disappointing, although I am also happy to have better performance than ever. After reading numerous threads on optimization, and playing around with the settings quite a bit, I have come to understand the CPU is the problem and not the GPU. In singleplayer a lot can be achieved by adjusting the viewing distance, but when I host a server to play with friends this does not help. Indeed, I can set graphics to maximum and to minimum without much impacting FPS -- especially on more demanding scenarios, such as Dynamic Recon Ops on Tanoa (Runs in the tens or twenties). The Apex campaign was a lot better even while hosting, although for some reason it hogged an increasing amount of VRAM. By the fifth mission it had reached 14GB. Odd.

     

    Three questions:

     

    Can I do anything to make ArmA better utilize my CPU?

     

    Can I do something smarter to host a multiplayer game on some cores and play ArmA on others? 

     

    Can you recommend an easy-to-use and resonably priced ArmA 3 server provider, than can be configured with mods etc.?

     

    Cheers!
