Outrageous! I guess this supporter badge signifies that I'm the idiot for buying the supporter edition. Never again.

Has anyone looked into RAM speeds? With ArmA2:OA I recall getting a whole 10fps from a RAM speed upgrade. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?111764 Is anyone running 2400mhz or 2133mhz?

I got kicked from #2 server earlier today by Battleye for CreateVehicle. I chose independent > Priest unit > Start Before I got into the game I got a Battleye kick message. On the server list screen I could see I was a seagull. Anyway I joined a next server and it was fine.

I wanted to get some better performance in ArmA2:OA So I started upgrading my PC I created a scene in the editor to benchmark my performance Zargabad on a rooftop with 27 idle solders in view. AMD 240 (2.8GHz) GTX 260 (216 stream processor, 896MB) 4GB DDR2 24fps I read that ArmA2 is pretty CPU intensive so I upped from the AMD240 to the best thing my mother board could handle. AMD 1090T @ 3.2GHz. That CPU upgrade gave me only 4 more fps :confused: New top score 28fps So I thought it had to be my graphics card seriously holding me back. So I changed the nVidia GTX 260 into a nVidia GTX 460 OC 1GB. That only gave me a 2 FPS increase. New top score 30fps Now running at 30fps from the old 24fps made the game more playable, but I was still not too happy with the small FPS gain for the money spent. That's when I decided to look into better RAM. So I bought 2x2GB OCZ DDR2 1066MHz. My frame rate jump up a whole 10 frames! New top score 40fps The game is now much much more playable!

Typo. No need to act like a dunce about it. Lol I highly doubt having 2x SSD will give you 20 extra FPS just for having them hooked up. On my test there is hardly any HDD activity after load.

Ok guys. I've done my own benchmarking before updating from 1.04 to 1.05. I basically used the Chernarus map and placed a few idle infantry groups. Graphics settings were put on medium for the tests. I just loaded this custom made mission and let it idle while watching for a steady framerate with FRAPS. Results 1.04 got 40fps 1.05 got 39fps Also I decided to remove all units accept myself 1.04 got 66fps 1.05 got 63fps Also I made screen shots for comparison purposes ArmA 1.04 http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/2600/arma2104.png ArmA 1.05 http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/4531/arma2105.png The results show a very small frame drop with the new version. In 1.05 you can see some nice distance improvements. SPECS AMD 620 x4 2GB DDR2 @800 Geforce 260 GTX
