Hustler_Baby: search & find But anyway, you're right, i'll stop bullshitting about hw. Only 2 things. 1. I have Arma, playing with it. 2. See optimal system spec on the backside. Thats all. Of course I love the game after a very long awaiting... It's just incredible! I can see the more powerful engine, it won't loose smoothness with 5x more units deployed, with increasing the view distance etc. unlike in ofp, fantastic modells, textures and so on. The reason I posted here is to see others have the same problems/expectations as mine who HAVE Arma.

I strongly agree with you, I can see the changes between ofp and arma modells My thoughts about arma are absolutely positive, I'll play it "no matter" what it costs. That's why I wrote down my dissapointments about the hw stuff. I understand, that a new game needs a new rig. But there are big differences between the "todays technology" hw's. There are 2 categories, mid and high-end stuff. Like X1950/1650 GF7900/7600 these are all recent aren't? These are valid for cpus mobos and all hw's. You can't just say, buy a recent config... Sleep some nights, and your 7900 will be in the "yesterdays category" I saw arma running on core2@3.2 w 7900GTX. You cannot play in high/1600x1200. Thats what I'm talking about.

Shame.. I guess if you need to spend that much, no game you've run in the last 2 years has played smoothly. Don't agree. If you aren't the player, who always tries the newest games, don't need the most recent hw stuff. I used to play with ofp, il2, lockon with A64 3200+ 1G GF6800/128MB and tried some new like graw, cod2 etc. They run smoothly on this config, although I know, this is not the most recent config. Now I've upgraded to X2 4400+ but Arma can't be played smoothly with the 128MB GF6800. The minimum is X800XT with this card I can play on 1024x768 and low/medium settings smoothly ~25-40fps average. For me that means to play Arma in med/high settings smoothly, you must have one of the most modern configs (will not go on intel/amd ati/nvidia story) everyone knows what recent means... So I'm a bit dissapointed on the hw needs, but the game is awesome. I think gpu with 128M no matter what type it is not enough. So let's start to save some bucks soldiers I can only hope, that bis realizes this, and there will be some post optimized patches
