System specs I5 750 @ 3.4Ghz 4Gb ram 1600Mhz Mobo MSI P55-GD65 2x 500Gb hdd raid 0 with arma2 on it 2x 160Gb hdd raid 0 with OS W7 64bit ATI 5850 1Gb stock speeds View distance 3k resolution 1920x1080 Textures high Video mem default A filtering normal AA high Terain detail high Objects detail high Shadow detail high post proc. disabled Without beta bench 1. 50 2. 21 With beta 69782 1. 48 2. 21 So i lost 2 fps in bench 1 with the beta. But i didnt noticed that really. With the beta things looks a little bit smoother, less stutter. But not much, so i voted Same - it seems the same, I cannot see any significant difference

I think you have a laptop or you use the onboard gfx of your motherboard if it is a desktop. G33/G31 does not support shader model 3.0, and if it did you probaly still couldnt play arma2 because most of the time onboard gfx (laptop or motherboard) is to slow.

same config. as you. logitech force3d pro no stearing wheel no problems here. i have the newest gaming profiler installed from logitech. there is one no for w7 64

Dont blame me. I am from the Netherlands and on top of it from a provence cald zeeland (sealand), so i walk all days on wooden shoe's in the clay and i never had seen a proper wood in my life ...... :( But i know you are a very smart guy because you know your seasons ;)

haha look at that photo on top of the website, now we know where BIS got there orange tree thingie :rolleyes:

i had that not so long ago. but i have ati gfx, you dont give your specs so i dont know if it will work for you. in catalist control center under "3D" set mip map level on high quality or quality, that solved it for me. with me it looked like this : http://vogelaar.be/arma2-bad.png and it looked like this after : http://vogelaar.be/arma2-good.png

I didnt have everything on very high(i am a realist and i only have 1 5850), i play everything on high, viewdistance 5km's, aa is normal, resolution is 1920*1080.in the ingame benchmarks i score in the first 48fps and in the second one 30 fps. Viewdistance is a fps killer dont go over 5km's, first of all if you are not flying you dont need more then 5km's, 3 or 4 km's enough. i must say my cpu is overclocked, but that is so easy to do with the i5, its running at 3.4 Ghz with no voltage changes or anything. You have to check your scalling of your crossfire to see if both cards are used.

@ Goaz, keep your posts of your problem please to one topic. @Bulldogs, he has a i5 so he doesnt have hypertreading. Ow and there is a hotfix voor the 10.1 drivers of ati.

Ok your fps is low, i have allmost same system, i5 and ONE 5850. But what interested me is you can play and after a few mins you get flickering and stuff. I would check my temps of both cards. A systembuilder doesnt always test there designs properly and it could be your gfx cards ar to close together and you get one card overheating. For more help we need your exact system specs, brand mobo, brand gfx. But first i would check your temps.

He plays with the onboard gf8200 mGPU. You cant expect good fps with that. First thing to do here is to upgrade the gfx :j:

old system : Q6600 MSI P7N Silenz 750i 4gb ram ddr 800 mhz xfx gts250 512mb 2x 500gb raid0 W7 64bit everything on medium and 1920*1080 res. After the last patch arma2 was running, but not that great. New system: CPU i5 msi P55 GD-65 4 gb geil black dragon 1600Mhz ATI 5850 1Gb 2x 80Gb raid0 for OS 2x 500Gb raid0 for games 1x 1,5 Tb data W7 64bit everything on high, view distance 5000 and 1920*1080 res. Now arma2 is running great !! FPS is 2 times that of the old system. Almost no stuttering. benchmark1 = 50 fps benchmark2 = 30 fps armamark = arround 5000 Did not do any tweaks yet, not on the gfx, not on arma2, nothing. just installed it, patched it, played it.

that post on our forum was about arma1 ! but yes i had the message again with the latest beta of arma2. and indeed just click yes and ignore it and it installs fine.

Better performance in vista 32 and way better in win7 64

Better performance in vista 32 en way better performance in win7 64

see my post here : http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=76908&page=4

yep, just wish there was a program that i could see the gpu load, bin searching for it but its impossible for nvidia i read most of the times. there is this : http://developer.nvidia.com/object/nvperfhud_home.html but that is a little to much for me.

I will put my findings here because there are a lot of treads about the performance, but i have nvidia so i can only say the following for the nvidia cards. Have the game since friday and spent most of my time now tweaking it because performance was bad. First of al my system specs : Q6600 @ 3.0 Ghz nvidia 750SLI chipset 2x 500 Gb raid striping 4 partitions 4Gb 800Mhz ram vista 32 XFX 250 GTS 512 mb These are my findings : oc cpu further no big performance oc gpu no big performance all the tweaks that you can find on this forum, no big performance but it got more stable no more big frame drops. I play the campaign arround 23 fps and it stays there, little drops to 20 fps but hats it. thats playble for me because this is no high end rig anymore. But i notticed something weird. My gfx almost doesnt heat up in the campaign. idlle its arround 55 C on load in the campaign it goes to arround 65 C This is strange to me, because in arma1 i get 75 C and fan spinning up in arma2 no fan spinning up and 65 C I also have a meter for the watss my total system is using. in arma1 and other games it usses more then 340 watts. in arma2 in the menu it usses arround 305 watts. when i start the campaign and play it it drops 15 watts ! so i am thinking some how arma2 isnt using the full power of my gfx. no heting almost, dropping watts etc. etc. that for me is a sign it is not working hard. dont know why, did every tweak, renaming the exe etc. etc. etc. but if power consumption is going down and there is nog big heating of the gfx something telse me its not working as hard as it should be.

it was just for the guys who cant wait anymore. ;-) wehkamp doesnt have it in stock, release there 3th of juli. and not everyone lives close to a mediamarkt (like me ;-) )

For the dutch guys, just orerd it with www.nedgame.nl They have limited stok at the moment.
