Well, from information in certain topics on this forum and on other websites, a lot of people seem to get poor FPS with the newest Ati graphics cards (HD4870x2, HD4870, HD4850, HD4830).

I thought 2-2.5K view distance was pretty low, although I would still get bad FPS with it. I will try your setting with low terrain detail, and measure the FPS. As to explain what I said about the VRAM; One of my classmates in College has a RIG close to mine (same CPU and mobo), but he has a 8800GT 512 MB. He is able to run ArmA on high to max settings, including a high view distance (6k+), with decent FPS.

I'm not sure if my Vsync is actually off in ArmA. I followed the steps to turn Vsync off, but it seems my FPS is still capped to my Screen's Refresh Rate (75hz). I have had most CCC settings on AppPreferences already, and I'm running the latest driver for my HD4870. I'm running ArmA on a 19" LCD screen, with 1280 X 1024. I doubt 512mb of Video RAM is too little. I have already tried settings with a low View Distance (1k, 2k, 2.5k), but I still tend to get low FPS with it, including normal to low settings next to it. I have already tried changing the settings since the beginning (after problems with max settings) Alex. I don't expect to have a full war, but I already get FPS problems with small gunfights, like the first mission of Queen's Gambit.

Hello, I'm new to this forum, and I'm rather new to ArmA. I ordered the Armed Assault Gold Edition a couple weeks ago, and received it Wednesday. Before buying ArmA, I checked certain websites to see of my PC could handle it. From what I understood, my specs were pretty good for ArmA, and I would be able to run ArmA on max settings and view distance, with a decent 40-50+ fps. System Specs (copied from one of my youtube videos): Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit OS AMD Phenom 9950 CPU @ 2.9Ghz (overclocked). Zalman 9700 Blue LED CPU Cooler MSI K9A2 Platinum Mobo Ati Radeon HD4870 512MB GPU 4GB Corsair DDR2 DHX RAM 640 GB Samsung Spinpoint F1 HDD 750W Corsair PSU Antec 900 Case Acer AL1914 LCD Screen I installed the game, patched it to 1.14, and then 1.15 beta, and started up the game. I immediately turned up all the settings to the max, and started the tutorial mission. As the mission started, i noticed my FPS (I was running Fraps to see my FPS) was around 6-8 FPS, most of the time. I turned around a bit, but it wouldn't go any higher, except looking at the sky. I tuned down my settings to high, but the same result. The FPS would increase, but not much. On regular 'High' settings, I would get a max FPS of around 15-25. After some tuning, I found out that I would only get 50+ FPS, with all settings on low, and a really low view distance (500-600). I compared my computer specs with some other computers; computers which were able to run the game on max settings. I noticed my computer had better specs then most of them, although I wasn't able to run it on max settings. I was kinda mad, and I started searching for solutions. I found out this website: http://forums.tweakguides.com/showthread.php?p=58502 A pretty old topic. I tried to mimic the settings from one of the posts on that page, but I wasn't able to get a decent, playable FPS. I found out that some people had problems with 4 GB of Ram and a 64bit OS. I got 4 GB of ram and a 64bit OS, and I had the same problems with the demo. I didn't had the problems anymore with the full version though. I have tried numerous solutions, from maxmem and memory handling parameters, to affinity changes, windowed mode and setting changes, but nothing worked. Are there any solutions for it, or would I have to wait for version 1.15? Do more people have the same FPS problems with computer specs, close to mine? Edit: It seems I accidently added 'Parameter' to the topic title, oops :\
