    Updated patch 1.02.58134

    this is no bueno. anyone running the Nexway version get this patch to work?
  2. i'm glad they updated the graphics. the game play of ARMA1 and ARMA2 is great, better graphics is icing on the cake.
  3. that being said, what i think soulfly is saying is that if you can upgrade to the 850w PSU for not much more money, it might be a good idea in case you decide to add a second card later on down the road.
  4. i'd say it's too risky right now. stick with a single card solution.

    ArmAII-Mark

    i will as soon as i get a chance.
  6. you have to download ATI tray tools and set up a custom game profile with Vsync forced off. i had to download the latest beta to get the option to force vsync. if you're on Vista 64 you'll need to find a way around the driver signing issue. google it, there are ways to do it. the whole process is a bit of a pain in the ass.
  7. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/download.aspx it's the same process as reinstalling your OS, or formatting your hard drive. you have to backup all important data before you do it. i have no idea how easy it is to revert back, but i bet that question is answered in that link. IMO it was absolutely worth it. i have not tried any other games though, so i don't know if i will run into compatibility issues. so far people are reporting smooth sailing with Windows 7.

    UPDATE: same settings, but switched from Vista 64 to Windows 7 64 GTX285 1GB score: 3761 (avg fps 37.61) Windows 7 is great :D
  9. i've literally only tested for 10 minutes, but so far just upgrading to Windows 7 has increased my framerate from 27 to 37 in one particular spot (single mission, fairly intensive scene). i haven't patched to 1.02 yet, but that's next on my list. i'll keep testing it out, but as of right now it looks like Windows 7 64 gives much better performance over Vista 64.

  11. i'm installing Windows 7 as i type this to see if it gives better performance than vista 64. i'll report back, but i'm doubtful.

    Vista + ATI + Vsync

    since creating this thread i've discovered that ATI tray tools fixes this issue. well it doesn't fix it, but it's a workaround.

    vertical sync

    this is what i did. however, you will have driver signing issues if you run Vista 64bit.
  14. use ATI tool. be warned though, if you're running Vista 64 you will run into driver signing issues. it's a pain.
  15. nhancer: http://www.nhancer.com/ download and force vsync off. this will do the trick. it's a well known issue that vista prevents forcing vsync on or off via the driver control panel, for both nvidia and ATI cards.
