Im a little lost! I have a GTX295, what do I need to edit - do i need to adjust my VRAM details and adjust the sceneComplexity to =160000.

You BI fella's are having a laugh right? You have the ordasity to ask what we think of a patch that has no dedicated server updates, so unless we run a server with the CD in the drive and use the -server switch then no updated servers. I think you fella's are a laughing stock - that's what I and the majority of the community think. I also think you need to rethink your updates via STEAM. Having to re-download the game content isn't the norm, in fact I have never heard of it before. Did you fella's do that for a laugh or are you serious that every update requires this.

Mine is a Inno3d Single PCB version of the GTX295.

Yeah and it doesnt work for me that profile. VSYNC int he profile is off but without vsync off globally i get a fps cap of 6, so the profile doesn't work... that's with steam version of Arma.

After a whole day of testing with different drivers and Vista builds, x86 , x64 as well as Windows 7 I have found the fix. And although I am getting 70+fps in some cases, its still not good enough. I have posted screenshots of in game fps with fraps. The settings are all 2500 view distance with high detail at 1920x1200. Please double click the thumbnails to make the pics bigger. Sorry for the large amount of screenshots, I wanted to show just how much fps has improved with varying sections of the game with landscapes etc. EDIT: Just discovered we can only have 5 pics per post Detail settings: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/warpy_au/Arma%202/arma22009-08-0217-37-40-55.jpg In game shots: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/warpy_au/Arma%202/arma22009-08-0117-40-19-95-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/warpy_au/Arma%202/arma22009-08-0119-29-57-68.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/warpy_au/Arma%202/arma22009-08-0119-30-18-27.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/warpy_au/Arma%202/arma22009-08-0119-31-13-22.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/warpy_au/Arma%202/arma22009-08-0119-32-15-33.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/warpy_au/Arma%202/arma22009-08-0117-33-07-38.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/warpy_au/Arma%202/arma22009-08-0117-37-25-19.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/warpy_au/Arma%202/arma22009-08-0117-37-50-55.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/warpy_au/Arma%202/arma22009-08-0117-39-52-87.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/warpy_au/Arma%202/arma22009-08-0117-42-25-02.jpg Solution was simple... Installed Nvidia 190.38 offical drivers and set vsync to "OFF" forced, I didn't touch any profiles and whats funny is, if I installed nhancer it made things worse, so don't install that or any SLI patch.

May as well add me to this, spent so much cash on my system and the performance is shocking with Arma II. I have heard a Bohemia rep say, the drivers are the cause and "we have contacted the respectable companies, ATI and Nvidia". I'm not sure if this is a typical "pass the hot potato stunt" were Bohemia don't want to accept ownership of the problem or not. I'd like to see some more input from the devs on this please.
