Haha yeah bud! look out for me im Hopesy btw ;)

Hey again Snow (if you see this!), well i changed my ingame settings along with the 3D settings, OC'd the CPU to: FBS 310 and voltage at 1.35 and the speed is now 2.56 and it's running much smoother so thx m8!

Thx m8! yeah ive only OC'd the FSB on the CPU as im a bit of a pansy (and numpty) when it comes to oc'ing hardware!

Thx Snow! going to check through your settings now ;) And holy cow my temp whilst running ArmA was at 95oC!! changed the settings to: core bus 656Mhz memory bus 977Mhz using direct fan control at 64% EDIT** Snow what have you got the core/memory bus set at then?

Hey guys been messing about with different things to try and get ArmA to run sweet plus look great. This morn i OC'd the 8800 with Ntune (couldn't get Rivatuner to work as it's missing a driver when installing, im using Vista64) to this: core 680 memory 999, couldn't see the shader slider so just opted for those 2, ran arma and it was ok untill about 5mins into the game and it crashed! So what i was going to ask is what settings has anyone found to be ok? my card has the stock fan on and im using an Antec Nine Hundred Gaming Case with aall fans on High (http://www.antec.com/Believe_it/product.php?id=MTEyOQ==). One thing im going to do is buy some sort of artic cooler for the GPU as im guessing it's getting too hot and crashing (temp on the GPU was 83oC, idle it's 66). Thx if any1 can help and sorry for the rushed post im off on the school run! :eek: One more thing, can any1 give me some pointers on what my settings should be in the 3D settings of the Nvidia control panel? They are as follows starting from Ambient Occlusion right down to the bottom which is v-sync (i have that on becuase of image tearing). off off on off none off use hardware off off none 8 multiple display performance mode off allow quality on on off force on drivers are 185.05

^^ me neither!

Don't worry m8 there is nothing worse than loving a game to find that it is basically unplayable, atm mine is running not too bad but in all it looks total arse! You find that you are fannying about with settings and viewing forums to get it running ok than actually playing the bloody thing and that there is where the frustration comes in! Hope you get it sorted soon bud! :cool:

Ahhh Mantis thx m8 really appreciated for the reply! i'll try what you have said there, thx again! edit*** heres my cfg file btw: language="English"; adapter=-1; 3D_Performance=93750; Resolution_Bpp=32; Resolution_W=1680; Resolution_H=1050; refresh=60; Render_W=1280; Render_H=800; FSAA=0; postFX=2; HDRPrecision=8; lastDeviceId=""; localVRAM=526319616; nonlocalVRAM=1308225536;

Sorry for the double post in this thread but is there anything else i need to change in 3D settings and the cfg file guys? Guys can any of you give me any pointers on better performance, my specs are: Vista 64bit SP2 Nvidia 8800GT 512MB 185.5 drivers Core Duo 2 E6400@2.13(2CPU's),~2.4GHz Asus PB5 Deluxe Motherboard 4gig Corsair XMS2 DDR2 5400 Antec Nine Hundred gaming case with fans set at high, no other cooling. Samsung Syncmaster 1680x1050 LCD In the 3D Global settings for the Nvidia panel i have everything set to application controlled with v-sync on max pre-rendered frames at 8.

Oh come on this is a joke topic right? there is noway anyone would of thought that is how the game looks and that there wasn't a problem going on with either drivers or hardware? lmao!

Anything else i need to do??

Everything on low and no shadows! hell man!

Thx for the replies guys, i am actually thinking of upgrading to this: Asus P5Q Pro board IC2 Q6700 Zotac Geforce 260GTX 4GB OCZ Platinum XTC Atm cash is not available for another 2month so getting as much performance out of this piece of junk is what i'll have to do in the mean time hehe! *edit can't seem to find that single screen performance mode?

What do you guys have your 3D settings set at in the Global tab of the Nvidia Control panel?? Also what settings are you running in the Arma II video/advanced menu of the game? Are there any other tweeks i should be doing to get more performance?
