hi i did upgrade my ati5850 to gtx670 and fps didnt improve at all. also ArmA3mark0.7.Stratis gives about same result 1920x1080 CPU: Intel Core i7920@3.8 Motherboard: X58A-UD3R Ram: 6GB DDR3 GPU: GeForce GTX670 2GB. Base Clock 1006MHz Memory Clock MHz 3054MHz edit: after another boot and adding start up parameters -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=7 -high -maxMem=4096 -noPause -noSplash -world=empty it runs very smoothly all maxed out except Postprocess disabled and cant even compare to the old 5850 because now it rocks about 30-45fps during online mp play ---------- Post added at 22:35 ---------- Previous post was at 21:12 ---------- russian guys have made very good comparsion about all know cards and cpus in arma3 google translate it http://gamegpu.ru/action-/-fps-/-tps/arma-iii-alpha-test-gpu/all-pages.html

i spotted that there was only 1 server with ace mod and OA. and it was still old 1.30 ver cmon guys buy all OA its only 22€ at play.com

i dont know is this right but thats how i got it working i did have arma2 ace working 100% 1. i did update the ace from sixupdater console to the latest ver. 2.then i did install OA in same folder as arma2 so they are then combined so when you start game you see both arma2 missions etc and OA missions 3.then did update OA to 1.52 4.then i did start the Arma/OA threre is new exe that not the old one and select all the ace expansions in expansions menu 5. the ace works at ARMA2/OA 100% perferct

i did have brand new ati 4870x2 few days then i swapped it to xfx gtx295. i didnt ever get arma2 working past opening screen or mission begin it crashed whole pc or just arma2. i thought it was the vidgard faulty. it was psu not strong enough for 4870x2. and i have seasonic 650w. so really check your psu is it up for the job. nvidia has approved psu list in their site it gives good general direction what to have

drawdistance doesnt take effect between 2500-4500 to max in multiplayer. no effect on distance you see. you cant even see 1000m . the ground after it appers tobe map-like- with no buildings or structures or mountains etc. i use winxp 32bit -winxp -memset2047 and evga sli patch. other specs below.

i think the arma2 demo benchmark is better to see real game perfomance. its more like real game speed i have 45fps on that 1920*1200 same setting all normal postprosessing disabled

my ArmamarkII score 4067 FillRate Optimizer 100% Texture Detail - Normal Anisotropic Filtering - Normal Terrain Detail - Normal Objects Detail - Normal Shadow Detail - Normal PostProcess Effects- Low Cpu - Q6600@3.75 Ram - 2x2Gb 800Mhz GPU - gigabyte GTX260 oc OS - winxp Resolution - 1600x1200 new test with new zfx gtx295 same setings except resolution 1440*1200 3400-3600 points so it cant beat even gtx260

did try EVGa hot fix too with newest drivers. i use maxmem and winxp in parameters too. my opinion framerates increased somewhat in mp and now they are constant 60fps at start screen. res 1920*1200 gfxcard is gtx295

ver 1.02 you cant get nightvision on at all in crcti multiplayer

mine is posted from play.com, preordered it too. hope it arrives less than a week:bounce3:

i think we have to wait few (light)years to arma2 or even arma1 to play smoothly and as BF2 mod Project Reality v0.85 .gun handling is nice too on it :( . maps etc are sure different size and terrain detail vegetation etc and arma2 has truckloads of improvements over arma1

i found out on this site that gtx285 SLI or even gtx260 SLI really beats out 4870x2 like and old dog. in every test in other games. i ordered 4870x2 allready for 275€. and have 1 gtx260 so one more for sli would beat one 4870x2.crap. thougt id need new sli mobo because my p35 asus only have cf .sorry about OT here is the article: http://techreport.com/articles.x/16681/12

i think e7200 vs q8200 quad wins in and you can overclock it . and quad is overall way faster than core duo in other applications too
