ARMA eats PC's, Â even the very best machines can only run it around meduim settings at high res with a fast stable FPS.
Yes the box should have said unless you own a very fast PC this game may suck. Â Be intresting to see how honest the Crysis box is?
note ARMA is a nice reminder that even the fastest PC's are not capable of everything. Â Try supreme Commander at high res as well ;}
Set everything LOW, Â drop screen res DOWN, Â then the game will start to work fast. Â ARMA is way ahead of its time.
You machine may run BF2 fine etc, Â ARMA is like runnign 2 copies of BF2 at the same time.
Either OC your machine, Â fine tune it or upgrade it. Â In the mean time drop GFx settings and even screen res and you can have fun. Â Cuirrently the machine that runs ARMA at HIGH res with 8xaa and 2000+ res at 100 FPS is in the RND labs in Silicon valley.
Notes the sexy Dsy' video is produce without AA with many setting not close to very high. Â And thats look fab.
i would beg to differ I can play ArmA fine on my system as long as i use 1.04 with all settings cranked up and not noticable slow down. ( Only time is when I bring up the scope can take 2 whole seconds for it to work). You have to make sure you are using the most stable driver version for your PC.
