I vote "NO" PACO

---------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- Under these circumstances, I will never buy downloadable versions online again, ever!!! PACO454

I should not have to use an activation License to update the game. BIS this is unacceptable. PACO454

I shouldn't be having problems. "You have no right to demand anything." Put yourself in my shoes and then say that after you paid good money. PACO454

Running Czech version 102, had to use up second license to install 102 patch, now with 105 it asks again for re-activation however there are no more License's. This is unacceptable. I have e-mailed softwrap, they have not responded. I'm sitting here, as a paying customer, with a non working version of the game that requires a new License for each patch. I demand a refund or a working copy of the game. This is unacceptable. Totoally unacceptable. PACO454

The more controls the better. A game with no options "is a game with no options". Remember you heard it first. Over and out! PACO454

Yes. They did say they will add support in a future patch. Hopefully, I won't see anymore gray hair by then. PACO454

Doesn't matter what res. The cards in SLI share and therefore increase FPS. RES depends on how much video ram there is. A single card with 256 meg of video ram in a non-SLI system compared to a 512 meg single non-SLI card will have higher frame rates at higher RES because it has more video memory to buffer the higher res. PACO454

Install 100.65 nvidia drivers to match your OS 32bit or 64bit. Try starting the game at a lower res like 1680x1050. You can find it here: http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=1582 Info about the video driver, # WHQL Certified driver for GeForce 8800, GeForce 7 series, and GeForce 6 series GPUs # Beta driver for NVIDIA SLIâ„¢ support for GeForce 8800 GTX/GTS GPUs # This driver supports the following features: * Single GPU support o DirectX 9 support for GeForce 6/7/8 series GPUs o DirectX 10 support for GeForce 8800 GPUs o OpenGL support for GeForce 6/7/8 series GPUs * NVIDIA SLI support o DirectX 9 support for GeForce 8800 GPUs o OpenGL support for GeForce 8800 GPUs # DirectX 9 and OpenGL NVIDIA SLI support for GeForce 6 and 7 series GPUs and DirectX 10 NVIDIA SLI support for GeForce 8800 GPUs will be available in a future driver.

Yes, I meant to try the FEAR profile. PACO454

What he is saying is you should try renaming Arma.exe to fear.exe. I believe this works for crossfire too. Isnt it closer to 90%? Ya....LOL sorry my mistake. It's more like almost double the FPS!!!!!!!.. By the way my request to have ArmA added and optimized by nVidia has reached level 2 tech at nVidia. Should know something soon. PACO454

Try the FEAR.EXE profile. Some users running SLI nVidia are getting up to 49% FPS increases, and that includes me. I'm in the process right now of asking nVidia to make a custom profile, however their first response was simply to make one myself. DUH!! They now have been told about the 31 optimaztion flags which can only be seen in nHancer. I'm now waiting to see what info nVidia will respond with. I have asked where I can make the request to have the game optimized using the optimaztion flags and added to the profile list, instead of using the FEAR profile. PACO454

Because Arma isnt such a "big game". Its not enough eyecandy value in Arma for Nvidia to prioritize it. I guess they dont see a non-mainstream game as worthy the effort in order to promote their videocards. Nvidia is doing the optimizations. Thanks for the response. I did try the FEAR profile and went from, on a test map, from 41 to 79 FPS. I'd say you hit the golden egg. I think the game is "BIG GAME" with good eye candy, too bad nVidia doesn't think so. I'll right them nevertheless, can't hurt. 41 to 79fps, that's BIG TIME. Thankyou for the heads up. PACO454

Strange? Covers the same issues whether I replaced a few words or not. Makes no difference. I'd say your flame baiting, off topic and looking for a fight. PACO454

No, the reason SLI doesnt kick up your fps more than that is because when you create a game-profile in the Nvidia CP it doesnt add any compatibility flags (optimizations). That can only be done directly in the profile with a tool such as nHancer. FEAR is running with alot of different optimizations in the driver that Arma also benefit from. Here is the meassured result for Arma on my machine. The card is a GF7950GX2 and the same settings are in use in all three tests. Single-card config: 30fps. SLI without optimizations: 40fps. SLI with FEAR's optimizations: 55fps. Here you can see that by enabling SLI gives you a slight FPS-improvement, but the real performance-boost comes from the compatibility flags in the driver. There are 31 of them and unfortunately there is no info about them except a very few have the names of some games in them. So I'm not about to start testing all kinds of combinations there to see if I can push the performance further. Most likely it is as fast as it can go (going from 30 to 55 is close to twice as fast). I stand corrected, however if the FEAR profile is so heavily optimized then why isn't there an ArmA profile there? Who does this optimization, nVidia or the game maker? PACO454
