I don't know if this should go in the optimization thread, but I'd hardly call it optimization, as the game is unplayable for me.
My specs:
- Core 2 Duo E6600 @ Stock
- Asus P5KC
- 2GB CellShock DDR2
- NVIDIA 8800 GTS 640MB (Latest driver)
- 500 GB Maxtor hard drive.
- Windows 7 (Fresh install, nothing but Steam and Arma II)
I've performed all the steps recommended on this board to get performance out of this game, but to little avail. It seems there is very little difference between Very Low and High.
My framerate is decent on the first level (the forest), but drags to a screeching halt as soon as I enter a city.
Especially in vehicles, I have serious issues, but generally whenever I change direction with the mouse, it's choppy to the point of being completely unplayable. I've noticed that there appears to be a lot of hard drive activity when the worst choppiness occurs.
I know I don't have a monster rig, but I'd still like to think that it should be able to pull off this game - at least on Normal or Low. (I can play Crysis on normal without a hitch)
Should I just wait for a patch, or is there actually anything I can do - short of ordering a SLi i7 powerhouse?
