Right.. thinking of giving Arma 2 a go again and in the process of upgrading to this: i7 930 Asus Rampage III 6gb Currently have 1 x 4890 1gb but not sure wheter to get another for CF (may not work??) or go for 5870, or go mad and get a 5970.. which option will serve me best do you think?, I suppose if I can get CF working the first option as Arma doesn't use DX11...

I tried it your way and it now works, its not perfect but it makes the LOD switching, texture loading and flickering a lot better. I just wish I had more than 6gb and could put the whole game on ramdisk..maybe finally I will start playing this game now performance is not uncomfortable..

I cannot get ramdisk to help. I am using superspeed ramdisk+ and then launching with "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2.exe" -mod=R:\AddOns but performance is no better???. I am sick of this game I have tried so many things and it still plays like a slug.

Dont worry OFP2 is out in October... :D

Not sure looks like some jaggies on the trees

Ok can all the fanboys stop denying this without proof, I have proven this problem exists on my setup now please prove it doesn't on yours or shut up.

This issue has been raised many times before, the is no fix for the problem and no one from BIS will comment so you know what that means...

Quite correct. However the initial outlay (if it costs more) is a waste of money, any Quad core system with SLI will run comfortably on a quality 650w PSU, really dont see the point in having 1kw PSU unless your running a server with 20 hard drives!.

Who said anything about cryboy?, I dont hate BIS or bash the game for no reason but the fact is the game was released in a similar shabby state to Arma. I played OFP for several years btw so I'm not just some COD player who walked into the wrong type of game. I just dont see the point of fanboys making threads purely to bait.

What a stupid and pointless fanboy started thread. Of course people were looking forward to its release, that does not excuse it being released in its current state. Of course people get frustrated and angry when it doesn't run properly (at all in some cases) yet fanboys seem to want to try and wind them up further, well enjoy the empty servers...

They only included AA in the last patch because a lot of people wanted it. I think this is probably why it is not very well optimised yet, however it should have been sorted before they even released the game *sigh*. Arma 2 looks great in screenshots but is it playable like them = no.

Interesting, does this make any difference?, I have Arma 2 on my SSD drive but the Windows pagefile is on SATA I think. I know the response time on SSD is much faster and it gives me about twice the transfer rate.

This issue seems to affect some cards more than others (especially the 4890). If no one has done so already I will create a report in the bug tracker as this is cleary a significant issue for people with this card.

http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=76498 same issue here (also on 4890).

Surely if that would help it would also help using an SSD hd which I have tried and makes no difference?.
