Seems my Dell 30in holds me back. Native res is 2560x1600. It will run max settings at 1280x1024 and lower, but it's a bit distorted (blurry, just a little). At 1600x1200 is where it gets lots clearer, but max settings will lose fps. 2560x1600 is crispy clear, but not stable with any settings. Nvidia drivers have bumped it's playability from 1400x1200 to 1920x1200 over the past few months, so maybe 1 day soon they can get the drivers perfected.

How about lets adding "TYPE-O's" to this list. Double check everything. It's like painting 9 of your wife/girlfriends toenails red..and 1 of them puke green. She will be pissed.

Mine only works that way. We need the guys from "Myth Busters" to help prove the point.

I thought multi GPU were useless just as dual cores since ArmA wont use both SLI should be working, if nvidia could get the right drivers out. Even the drivers enable sli in the ArmA.exe profile (nvidia cp), mine just happens to go into a 70's style acid trip after 5 mins of playing, so I have it disabled in that particular profile for now. The dual core, I really have not pin pointed on this 2cpu x 2cores each. I do know that if I have a server going and playing on it at the same time, with all 4 cores, my system doesn't even break a sweat. This pic was taken while the server was underload, and you can see the usage yourself. Notice cpu 1 (core 0 & core 1) have not even had to turn speeds up, still idiling@1000mhz (apparently "not used"). Now look at the cpu usage in task manager,,Arma.exe= 9%, and the server is using 25%. If I pin both to 1 seperate core each...those programs and cpu cores stay at 100%. Either odd or unique, ehh? ArmA cpu usage on this pc Gotta luv Vista's Sidebar feature.

Why do they add fixes for 8800's to patches then? And according to you, my pc should not be playing OFP either.

The fog issue hasn't bothered me as much as others, unless I try going into orbit.

I to would be leary of loosing a downloaded version of ArmA. At this point, you may want to add more fans to your tower (to pull heat out). 8800's fans only go to 100% when needed. My top card runs @74c, bottom card runs @85c (due to heat from top card blowing down)...and this seems to be normal according to nvidia. My vc fans will kick in for about 3-5 mins about every 30 mins, while playing ArmA. But I do have 4 tower fans...and the Enermax psu...has a really big fan that pulls heat out. And believe me..this system can heat my neighborhood.

Please post with your results, good or bad. Gave a "This update does not apply to your system"

3dmark06 dropped 500pts. Same pic as in his first post. Scratch those. @binkster, I've tested the flush command..but it was never used/needed in any of the long games I've played.

I want to point fingers at nVidia. Things were hell with drivers pre 158.24. Seems they took a step backwards with 162.22, yet some users like them..actually it did give me a boost with 1 vc....but I can not enable sli with them, and I'm not about to let a 8800 sit idle! I will be testing the new quadro 162.50 when i get a chance.

158.24 drivers and maybe adding the -maxmem=512 Using both has given me a crispy clean and stable ArmA w/Vista64.

Kevlar pm'ed me with this, I told him it should have only been a 48hr ban.

We can only imagine why? Buy another copy of the game.

Every forum I visit has the same cons in pros about Vista! It either works for your setup..or it doesn't! Personally, my latest build will never see XP. edit- because ArmA plays for me.

Well...on my pc, if I do not use it...I do not get to play! Without it..I have CTD's after 10 minutes or so. With it..I have unlimited games. (9 straight days tested with EVO mission)

I tested 1-2-3-4 cores thru set affinity....no difference was seen server side. I use FireDaemon for the server, which only gives me 1-2 cores to pick...due to this is a 2 cpu, 4 core setup. Still, no difference with 1 or 2 cores. Anyhow...1core @3000mhz has been plenty...even on the crcti with a shitload x2 of enemy vehicles every where.

Enemy was pumping alot of armour at us and constantly kept a helo or 2 flying. When I finally got to their base, 15th hr, I never seen any enemy soldiers while crawling in (guess they were all in vehicles)..all the way to 1 of their HE's. I emptied that HE on their base. or what I could see of it. About 10 mins of that..and here comes the enemy soldiers (respawning maybe). None of their base protection were occupied..thank goodness, or I may still be in there. They never got more than 4-5 towns, we kept pushing them back, while we captured the east (large) side of the island. This was set at Insane opposition mode. btw, SWAT_CDN started a thread at your forums with more details.

It was mentioned..but I've yet to see it either.

....that it's stable enough to play 9 straight days, only left due to finishing EVO. ..... mfcti is working w/ArmA. .....my Vista64 works with ArmA. *woot*

BHD...x4

outside the last " ........arma.exe" -maxmem=256 a space is needed also after the "

Just wanting to point out stability... 27hr coop played with out a glitch server side! Oh...and that would be a Vista64 bit host

But you want your tower fans to pull heat out of the case, and removing the side will influence this not to work...imo
