After theres a few 100 AI enemies, everything starts to lag. I've got an i7 980 at 3.8GHz, HIS HD 5870 turbo, 6GB 1660mhz ram, and i run arma from an SSD. What can I do to boost up performance? FPS drops considerably once more AI are ingame. My settings aren't all that good either.. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I've matched your settings, but not a fan of the 'sharp' edges, it looks tatty and makes the game look ugly and less life like. In my eyes, anyway :P Runs better though, I'll give you that. I think i'll sacrifice looks over performance tbh mate.

I usually get around 50-60 and it's completely smooth and perfect. When I go over big cities with enemies, it sometimes drops to 24 and be really laggy and not nice to play. Game is fully patched up :) Ill have a look at settings, cheers.

Then I can't play user made missions..

I bought ArmA 2 when it first come out, then bought the OA expansion pack. How can I combine these two to make it like combined ops? I don't fancy buying combined ops as i already got the both games, its just i can't play online cos most servers use combined ops. cheers.. :)

i want a rifleman on the floor to be injured, when we spawn so I can drag him, how do I do this? i wanna be able to drag/first aid him. i got the module set up.

Working on OA?

thank you for your superb work!

i7 will own the 720qm, end of.

Wow, Borg your new PC is the exact same as mine. i7 930 and a 5870 with 6GB DDR3 RAM. Anyway, as soon as I got my i7 930, i pushed it to its limits and got a stable overclock of 4GHz by raising my vcore only slightly, I reccomend a 3.6 overclock and you'll run ArmA 2 very, very well indeed. I run ArmA 2 from an SSD, something else thats worthwhile is a RAMDisk, with 6GB RAM you can make a 3GB ramdisk and get great performance from that then you got the other 3GB for ArmA 2 and your system.

The resolution is really high, I can see that being 'average' for such a resolution, its pretty good performance too for such a high res.

ah right, i thought ACEX pla came with ACEX, obviously not. thank you!

I cannot join a Multiplayer server, it's saying I'm missing these 2 addons; anyone know what they are, because I can hardly join any server :/ Its an ace 2 server, and ive got ace 2 fully updated

No worries ;)

Should run fine, but as I say to everyone if you overclocked your CPU from 2.6GHz to let's say 3.2GHz, you'd see a massive performance increase. I had the q6600 and kept it at 2.4, then overclocked it to 3GHz and saw a massive performance increase.

because it's a mission, and missions come under Scenarious if I'm not mistaken. go to my documenets then find the arma 2 folder and delete it from missions in there.

in theory ,yes the cpu will get warmed but you always try to find the lowest possible stable voltage without it BSOD'ing. google it, you will get a guide on the internet. look on armaholic for a good vegetation mod, i forgot the name of the one i use at the minute :)

Processor clock speed is too low for ArmA 2. For ArmA 2 you need atleast a 3GHz processor, less it just runs terribly .You also need a pretty decent graphics card, and a decent brand hard drive.

its the cpu clock speed letting you down, overclock and it'll run much better. also try a vegetation mod :)

and its the worst. Grab a 5870, good card :)

5670 is best option. ---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 PM ---------- thats because your clock speed of your CPU is far too low, plus the CPU is rubbish, the hard drive isn't fast enough, nor is the graphics card. sorry :(

When you start plaiying the real game and the real campaign, it's gonna lag like hell. My old computer was 5 times better than those specs, and it lagged like hell, couldn't shoot. Playing on a i7 930 @ 3.8GHz 6GB DDR3 1660MHZ HIS iCooler V Turbo ATI 5870 runs great, also got my arma 2 installed onto a SSD drive as opposed to a harddrive.

hi, anyone know the best way to make a close air formation when flying? I want to fly in pairs, with AI and them mirror my movement basically. we're both in harriers, whats best formation or something to get what I want? basically, fly in a close, tight formation (ie, behind me or beside me)

Motherboard shouldn't allow you to give it to much voltage to break it, they usually shut your pc down (especially newer ones)
