Thanks for the replys, I completely agree with you. I f I could afford to go out and buy a top notch billybollux videocard i would go out and get one tomorrow, unfortunately I ave other thing to spend my spare cash on( wife and kid). Theres a thread thats pinned at the very beginning of these forums called Hardware tips/tricks and solutions. Jack who wrote it only uses a g6800 and he says it runs, alrite not with whacked upto top setting admitedly, but it ran it. So, can i get what ive got working with Arma? I'd really like to play it. The training ran ok.Its only when im in woods and ai are on the screen that it runs pants. Cheers for your help matt

Lo infamous, thx for the reply, exact framerate i'm not sure. I read that some peeps uses fraps to record fps but i aint got it. I read on earlier forum messages about the benchmark test so i ran itif its any help: my ofp mark was 928.282 broken down as follows 1. 6.87019 2. 9.65477 3. 11.9531 4. 8.27586 5. 9.66023 Hope this helps. I have changed all sorts of settings on and off. So, many post say opposite things it seems, from antiastropic filtering high, to disabled, the same for anti alliasing(if thats how ya spell it). I tried turning vsync off in nvidia control panel ,struggled finding it (story of my life) Ive got a 250gig sata hardrive. Due to avin a really crap pc for so long, I automatically turn off all background programs off before doin anything on pc in Task Manager,although Iave Mcafee runnin with virusware,spyware,firewall,email virus on at all times. Cheers matt

Lo all, this is my 1st post so please be gentle. I got Arma a couple of months ago and it ran like a dog on my new pc. It then works out i had some dodgy ram so thats now been sorted and it ran loads better.(even ran Stalker ok) I then read somewhere that the new patch was fantastic, made it run lots better. Patched 1.05 then up to 1.08 and it now runs worse than ever, almost unplayable with very stuttery movement ,especially if theres any gunfire going on. My system specs are: AMD 64X2 5200. nvidia 7100 gs with driver 6.14.10.9371with 512 mb of onboard ram,windows xp with sevice pack2,sony dvd rw aw -G170a and realtek high definition audio. Hope thats enuff info. If ya need anything else give us a shout and i'll post it as soon as. Iv'e trawled the forums for hours and have information overload tbh. So many problems peeps have had with Arma. So please,please, please help as i'm very confused and a litlle frustrated. Cheeers all , matt
