    well lol I don't really want the HD4870. The GTX260 Core 216 is faster than the HD4870 and can be overclocked much higher with better noise control.

    I mean. I don't myself going wrong really with the Phenom X4 940 3.0GHz.

    Don't you think that's a good choice?

    Hi pclipse

    Are you running Vista?

    If so check your power settings scheme and make sure it is not set to "Energy saving mode" This tends to be the default on install, among other things it turns down your CPU to lowest frequency. You will need to set it to "Balanced".

    Here is a more detailed explanation and ways of tweaking

    Kind Regards walker

    Well Mr. walker. I already had the Performance plan selected. So I don't see what could be slowing me down.

    It could be for any number of reasons but I think its safe to say somethings not right. First of all is it a legit clean intstall of Arma? (No offence here intended). Is your hard drive full? Do you have many programs running in the background while your trying to play Arma? Do you have the latest Nvidia drivers for your graphics card? These sorts of questions may seem silly but can have an advers affect on the outcome of your gameplay. It's possible that different cpu's can handle similar tasks with quite diferent results. If you have a look at a wide variety of benchmarks about amd2 vs intel duo core 2, you can see you should have very similar results as my computer in most gaming areas with the odd exception. I was playing Arma once when all of a sudden it became virtually unplayable! The frame rates dropped by half and I thought perhaps there was a graphics card problem. All that happened was that my AVG anti virus decided to do a complete scan of my hard drive at that time. Something rather simple running in the background can decrease your gameplay conciderably.

    Well I use NOD32, so it doesn't do any scans when I don't want it to.

    All drivers are always up to date on my PC

    yes, Legit copy

    No, I have 2 hard drives, C: (with Windows) which is virtually empty, and F: with all my games and programs, which is 200/500GB full. And I defrag every week, so that's not problem either.

    :'(

    Arma 2 BETTER WORK!

    I only get demos mainly to see how my system will run the game, and so i can tweak with settings etc.

    I wont get this game till i've got a demo to see how my system runs the game. Its high settings or nothing.

    Might as well just leave then :P

    okay guys,

    About 2 years ago, I played ArmA on my old PC, which has a single core AMD 3200+, and a super old Nvidia FX5900 with 1gb ram.

    NOW.

    I install ArmA on this PC which is Dual Core AMD X2 6400+ at 3.2GHz with an 8800GT and 4GB RAM...and I get lag.

    Honestly this just pisses me off!! I mean, what can possibly be causing lag in ArmA. I play Crysis on HIGH!!

    Kay guys.

    I have a $300

    Myke, all I need is CPU and Mobo, and I want your CPU, what mobo should I get?

    Also can I OC a bit higher on air? And will upgrading to that AMD Phenom II X4 940 Deneb 3.0GHz from what I have and still keeping the 8800GT give me a lot better of performance in ArmA 2?

    ch_123, will this CPU not be able to go on a mobo that supports my RAM?

    That is true. I play PR. It is REALLY realistic. Especially when you're in PRT "Project Reality Tournaments" The matches go on for about 2-3 hours.

    So, I mean you can't have regular Vanilla play in ArmA2, ArmA2 should have penalties for many things. Such as a penalty if you kill a civvi, penalty if you shoot member obviously, and the Kits are the best thing of Project Reality. How you cannot have a random soldier get in a chopper.

    So therefore if in ArmA 2, you are a normal infantry, and can fly a chopper. There is that extreme lack of realism.
