Hello, just bought ArmA and loving the gameplay, but my performance has been somewhat hindering enjoyment. I get very poor performance. I've read around on this forum and the official forums and it seems like your settings need to be tweaked a certain way for your hardware set-up, so I was wondering if you guys could recommend what I should set things on. Processor: Intel® Core2 Duo CPU T5550 @ 1.83GHz (2 CPUs), ~1.8GHz Memory: 4094MB RAM Hard Drive: 304 GB Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800M GTS Operating System: Windows Vistaâ„¢ Home Premium (6.0, Build 6001) Service Pack 1 (6001.vistasp1_gdr.080917-1612) I'm using the beta version 1.16 and all my drivers are up to date as far as I know.

Nice! That GameBooster program helped a lot. Before I was getting like 5-15 FPS but now it's about 20-30, which is much more playable. I have everything on low/disabled, except textures which is on Default. I heard changing it from default can cause problems.

Ah well.. that's a shame, I could really get into it if it ran well. Thanks all for the help. :)

I'd rather not overclock, so I should just put ArmA away and wait for 2?

It is a laptop, it's a gaming laptop, a Gateway FX system. I understand that it's weaker than a desktop but it can run other things very well. However I know this particular game is processor intensive, but I believe my processor passes minimum requirements. I know people have all kinds of notions about gaming laptops but I'd rather not hear them.

I don't know what that is. EDIT: After looking that up, I do not use that inteface, I'm using a Windows Classic inteface.

It's dual core, so wouldn't that put it above 2 GHz?

My max resolution is 1440x900 and I usually run other games on that setting with no problems.
