been doing some research on the 7970 and it runs better in most games than the 680 plus its 100 pound cheaper than the 4gb 680, im not sure about arma 3 though.

Heres some information and settings: Windows 7 64 bit MSI H67MA-E45-B3 H67 1155 Socket 8 Channel HD Audio mATX Motherboard Intel Core i5 2500 3.3GHz Socket 1155 6MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor Gainward GeForce GTX 580 1536MB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDMI Out PCI-E Graphics Card G-Skill 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz RipjawsX Memory Kit CL9 (9-9-9-24) 1.5V WD 150GB and 300GB 3.5" SATA-II Velociraptor Hard Drive - 10000rpm 16MB Cache - OEMPowercool 650W Modular PSU Thermaltake level 10 gt I start my test from the sign in the town with fraps for 60 seconds and finsh towards the radio tower following the line in the road. by putting oject detail to standard i averaged a gain of 10 fps. I also found by other forum users raising shadows from low to high raised my fps. As you all no viewdistance and pp are also major killers and object visability. I also found pip in vehicles had a big hit on fps whislt driving. Anisotropic filtering i didnt notice much differance from raising this from low to ultra Antailiasing i kept at 4 and ppaa i put to fxaa ultra as was no differance from low. the rest you can see in my pics at the link below. 2013-03-24 19:15:23 - arma3 Frames: 3761 - Time: 60000ms - Avg: 62.683 - Min: 54 - Max: 77 WITH HIGH OBJECT DETAIL 2013-03-24 19:20:53 - arma3 Frames: 3755 - Time: 60000ms - Avg: 62.583 - Min: 53 - Max: 76 WITH HIGH OBJECT DETAIL 2013-03-25 15:50:27 - arma3 Frames: 3697 - Time: 60000ms - Avg: 61.617 - Min: 53 - Max: 79 WITH HIGH OBJECT DETAIL 2013-03-25 15:54:54 - arma3 Frames: 4487 - Time: 60000ms - Avg: 74.783 - Min: 64 - Max: 97 WITH STANDARD 2013-03-25 15:57:27 - arma3 Frames: 4519 - Time: 60000ms - Avg: 75.317 - Min: 64 - Max: 96 WITH STANDARD 2013-03-25 16:06:23 - arma3 Frames: 4348 - Time: 60000ms - Avg: 72.467 - Min: 62 - Max: 90 WITH STANDARD 2013-03-25 16:08:31 - arma3 Frames: 4487 - Time: 60000ms - Avg: 74.783 - Min: 62 - Max: 92 WITH STANDARD link to configuration photos as i dont no how to add them http://www.flickr.com/photos/94398048@N06/8589643037/in/photostream/ if someone could tell me how to add pics ill edit the post thanks. Images above show settings and start point i used. If you guys done the same settings and posted specs and fps data we could compare i no its not intense but it is in the town and easy to do. Maybe we could add units in the same place to make it more intense just untill someone releases a benchmark scenarion like in arma 2.

I do my benchmark testing in the town from the sign after the garage towards the radio tower for 60s by following the line in the middle of the road that way its the same route every time.

Do you no of any other tricks like this thanks

Thanks for the reply m8 ill put any upgrades on hold for now hold for now. ---------- Post added at 07:50 ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 ---------- I did try 1 thing that worked I raised shadows from low to high and my fps went up a few this was mentiond by someone else to.

Guys my currant pc is: Windows 7 64 bit I5 2500 3.3ghz GTX580 1.5GB 8GB DDR3 HDD Raptor 300GB 10000RPM HDD Raptor 120GB 10000RPM 650w psu Thermaltake level 10. Im looking at selling my GTX580 and buying an ATI 7970 3GB would i see much improvement and is the 7970 better than a GTX680 which is over 100 pounds more thanks.

lol since the update i cant open the door on control tower and has anyone noticed when you blow a building up the windows hover in place.

What are your system specs m8 and are you playing multiplayer or just in the editor. My fps takes a bad hit on mp even with just 4 of my mates on a mission it will run around 50fps but then for no reason drop to below 10 then back to 50 around airstation mike on a mission I made, in the editor I can average 30 fps with me and 80 troops fighting on the runway and 40 to 60 with spikes up to 90 flying around on my own.

Still bad fps drops for me runs great at first then drops. Windows 7 64 bit 15 2500 3.3ghz 580gtx 8gb ddr3 Raptor 300 gb 10000rpm Raptor 120 gb 10000rpm

Im on the dev build and was playing last night I kept getting kicked after about 15 mins fps seemed to be getting better though since I first played online.

thx m8 ill check it out

What is everyone using to record there games with. I use frap but it takes a hit on performance, what else is there.

It fixed mine

did you opt into the development build right cick game in steam and go to beta warning this may break your game or stop you from playing multiplayer.

ok calm down attitude

cant confirm ????? you tried it and worse or just aint tried it.

0.51.103048 its running as smooth man yes today i looked in steam and it said arma 3 complete todays date, not sure if the version changes all the time one of the devs mentioned it would be impossible to mention every update as there could be loads each day. but believe me they've done something good also in the news section someone mentioned improvements to there game. ---------- Post added at 19:12 ---------- Previous post was at 19:10 ---------- i wouldnt try the mission you made last night as there adding things and removing them i would start again i had problems with previous editor missions try and start again and see what happens.
