So does that mean that arma 1 now runs very very fast with a top notch graphics card.

So does that mean hardware or software advances are needed

How comes that the game is unable to run smooth in general like BF2 or other games what run at over 60fps. Not tech minded so please in laymans terms.

64 X2 4800+ Dual Core.... Running at 2.6ghz and hits 100% when the going gets tough.

Game booster gave me a 1% increase in ram what might be of some use to others. Here............ http://www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html I think by looking at a ram monitor that arma 2 uses about a gig and half.

does resolution affect CPU or is that a gain only for fps from GPU

Cheers for quick reply. So does anyone know like a rough break down like.... RAM 20% CPU 50% GPU 30% If you get me drift. that way i know what to spend me money on or split my cash and go for a 50/50 on a low end card and cpu. Also what part does ram have to play in A2

What is ArmA 2 more dependant on cpu or gpu, reason i ask is because im going to upgrade my 7800 gtx's for a single hd4850/4870 1gb. At the moment i have a amd 4800+x2 and noticed that when the going turns in to mass carnage on sceen my cpu is running flat out at 100% so i get system lag. So will me upgrading my cards take the strain off the cpu or just enhance the mass carnage on screen and still lag. amd 4800+ 2gb xms corsair ram 2 7800gtx's in sli win xp sp3

My monitor max resolution is 1360x768. My Mboard is a A8N-SLI PCI-ex16 So for £100 what is the best graphics card for what will take best advantage of that low resolution.

Why aint they gave the rifles the power what they give in real life. stand to civilians in a row and shoot them with a M107 and the bullet only sinks the first guy. this is a rifle that puts a hole in solid steel. I want to line up about 5 people and have a 1 shot 5 kill. dont tell me that it's bullet deflection and hits a bone thats why coz thats rollox. 50 cal goes through bones like a hot knife through butter.

Also do AI avoid mountains now while flying around in jets and also are they flying fast around mountains now instead of flapping around getting all nonced up.

So do people who have the same PC rigs when A1 came out find they have a gain in FPS or a drop, i have the same system as i did in the first game and intrigued to see if i will notice a gain in performance. 2 Nvidia 7800 GTX SLI AMD 4800X2 2GB corsair XMS Ram WXP SP3

Im about to buy paper boy for the ZX Spectrum.... will i get better frames per second than most people will get on high end rigs with ArmA II

Shame... i wanted that to be in here from day one. would of been nice to sit up on a mountain and set up a battle in a valley below with A10's making that sound.

What i found with A1 with my system was to put everything on high but have a low rez then change the screen format to wide screen to pull all back into shape., that way i got a framerate in the 50's most of the time and semi descent graphics. not sure if it will work on A2 or not.
