Tassadar

Been playing onlin shooters not toomuch of ARMA II since it seems to be hard to find a group of people that actually wants to play with real millitary tactics and alike. I am usually best suited as a vehicle driver. Recon or just the usual grunt suites me fine. GMT +1 is my timezone but I can play at mostly anyitme if needed. I am looking for serious squad/group of people that plays with army ranks and tactics. Tassadar out ***end of transmission***

I said I was goign to switch it OFF:D, not on So I fi have it swtiched off then? WIl lit iprove performance

Yeah well, I could just swtich of HT. I heard that improves performance. I could also clock the processor from 2.6 to 3,6 Ghz. Which probably will improve performance. Im just abit worried since If Armed Assault 2 has the system requiremtnets or the performance draining as this high. How long will a new monster rig be good for games today?, a year?, 6 months?

So guys, what would you say about this setup for arma II to run good. Antec Nine hudnred Asus motherboard. Asus ATI Radeon 5870 6 gig Corsair Memory 750 Corsair Powersupply Intel i7 920 processor Noctua Cooler Windows 7 64 bit Would this etup be able to run Arma II on high and even very high?on resolution 1920x1080?

Just got my money back. So guys, anyone of you have a good suggestion of a good gaming rig?

I will return the computer tomorrow and tell I want the money abck and buy a new one. I only hope I will have enough for an i7, good enough ram and a geforce card.

I bought VIsta so I got a free license for Windows 7:) I cannot seem to find that bluescreen error and then I have to admit I am not that good on finding that kind of things eitehr. another hting then why hasve not the company who buold the computer found the errrors? Since I have been getting bluescreens the last 3 weeks. More than once a day.

So it could be an option to change to Windows 7? ---------- Post added at 05:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:43 PM ---------- I just checked the logs. I did not find anything poining to any of Nvidia's drivers to be honest. I am jsut wondering. Should my rig not be able to run ArmA II on more FPS then 15-25 maximum on very high settings?

Vista 64 bit Home Premium Sp2 ---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ---------- I have around 15-25 fps wherever I am and then I have all the settings to "very high" except for AA disabled and likewsie Postprocessing. resolution 1920x1080

I have flashed BIOS. But I will check the ram speed. I did not think of that so I'll check it and this weekdn if they do not fix it. Then Ill return it and take the oney back and build me a computer instead. What specs would you guys recomend?` If I am to say some preferences I would really preffer an i7 920 processor and a 1600 Mhz ram kit and a Geforce 205 GTX card. ---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 PM ---------- Well ive tried to change the ram frquency but it did not make any differnce. Ill give him the computer tomorrow and if the error still resides on monday next week I will take the money back and buy another computer so suggestions are appreciated.

The original CPU speed ios 2.6 Ghz but have clocked it to 3.6 Ghz My rtam is 1600 Mhz OCZ and i got 6 gig. Sounds weird that it is the drivers since I actually made a whole formating of my harddrive today and I installed ArmA II with the cd and then for some reason the autoraun menu shos "install" as an option not "play" as it should. And If I click on it it says that ArmA II is alrleady installed. Before I bought my orignial copy of the game I had a pirated version. But as I have formated the drive and reinstalled everything and I am using an original copy of the game it should not be that. I have the latest drivers (190...) the latest drivers according to there website was released the 21th of August. That is the one I a now using. And I first reinstalled all the graphic drivers before I reinstalled with the latest ones. What do you mean with NB? I am sorry I am a bit of unfamilliar with BIOS terms:) Liquidpinky Quote: Originally Posted by Bulldogs Since you're getting crashes and Blue screens outside of Arma 2 then it's most likely either a faulty power supply, faulty motherboard, or another faulty component in your system, so returning it should get rid of that. A RAM test is in order I think, also if overclocked maybe a little extra voltage on the NB to stabilise the system. Is there a RAM test on the itnernet I can cehck out? If there is please link and I can see what it can do for me.

Yeah I just trioed to maximice the settings for ArmA II both in the graphics settings for the card and in the game it gave me black screen just a few minutes ago. I am going to try to formate the hard drive and see what happens. If that does not work then I will reutn it. This shit gives me headache Nope this did not make any differene and this is the bluscreen messeage I get when I try playing ArmA II: Problemsignatur: Problemhändelsens namn: BlueScreen OS-version: 6.0.6002.2.2.0.768.3 Språkvariant-ID: 1053 Ytterligare information om problemet: BCCode: 116 BCP1: FFFFFA80084834E0 BCP2: FFFFFA60024E6140 BCP3: 0000000000000000 BCP4: 0000000000000002 OS Version: 6_0_6002 Service Pack: 2_0 Product: 768_1 Filer som hjälper till att beskriva problemet: C:\Windows\Minidump\Mini092409-01.dmp C:\Windows\Temp\WER-47953-0.sysdata.xml C:\Windows\Temp\WERBCB8.tmp.version.txt Any idea what I could do about it? I read somewhere that it might be the drivers that the issue is with I am currently using the latest drivers for my card.

I hope I can get an i7 processor and the 295 GTX card then:) for that amount of money and good enough ram:) Yeah I will oook into this today since I tested Crysis last night It gave me bluescreen The only thing I am wondering of is if I will solve the problems I have now by building a new rig. I am not sure but most of it points that way. For instance it is impossible to run ArmA II stable for me I cannot even run it stable on normal/low. And the people im playin with has nearly identical rigs and they do not have any problems not close to my problems at least.

So should I go back with the computer and take the money back and buy it from another store? I am seriously thinking of that option.

So what could possibly be the solution to my problem? I mean 2 internal hard drives cannot take over 300 W in power. or can they? EVen if they are active. What I am thinking of if iti is a malfunction with the graphic card. Or just some silly comapbillity issue with Windows Vista?` It happens both when im not playing games and when I am palying games it happens alot more often. Arma II has crashed over 30 times for me today. It makes me to tired to not be able to makeit run correctly. Is my powersupply good enough?

This is the power supply I am using right now. Plazir PL1000-135AE 1000W Sil If that is not good enough tell me what I should do becuase the nvidia drivers crashes even sometimes when I am not playing any game as well but in Arma II it crashes more than 10 times in an hour.

Yeah Ill do that but 1000 should be enough though.

If this conitnue sI will do that. How much do es Antec cost? Oh sorry now Im droping form the topic here.

I hope I will see that difference as well. Would not be bad to be honest.

Yeah I have heard alot about Windows 7. I am anxious to see if it makes any difference to me. I have also heard that there seems to be less problems with ATI then Nvidia's graphic cards with ArmA II. I bought Vista so I will get a free license of Windows 7 which is feels quite good. So Let's hope it boosts my performance alot then since my hardware is way high end. I am putting in 2 SSD drives the coming weeks. One thing I was wondering is if the SSD drives requires more power then the SATA and IDE drives does? Just becuase I get black screen and driver crashes from time to time. But if I take out the other internal drives that somewhat dissapears. Strange if you ask me but it might have a good reason I do not know. So what is your FPS now compared to when you used Vista? What does OEM mean?

Could you maybe give me a link or something to the SLI patch por something? I do not honestly know how to get the SLI mode activated. But as my question was statted earlier. Shall I take Windows 7 64 bit or 32 bit? I heard there was one guy here last night who said it will probably improve my performance alot. I mean the thing is that I have 2 extra internal drives. One SATA and one IDE. The IDE drive is my old system drive from my old computer. COuld that be the case that I am from time to time getting driver crashes or is this only Vista? that is fucking aroud with me. I did regretybly change to Vista from XP. Becuase I must say I -HATE- Vista. And there were one guy who were very possitive to Windows 7 and that it might and probably will imrpove my performance. I will change to WIndows 7 the 21th of October since when I bought Vista I got a free license for Windows 7. I am just worried it is my hardware that is not good enough for hte game. About the SLI mode can someone link me drivers or tell me how to activate that? When you say that it reminds me of the ATI X2 card. So there is a possibility to get SLI between those two GPU units? With my current resolution which is 1920x1080 It seems impossible to get over 50 fps in game. I can lower the settings to normal to get like 45 but if I got up to high it is impssobie. But I hope it is ebcuase of Windows Vista. I really do since I bought this gaming rig 2 weeks ago.

I do not have 2 GTX cards yet I have one GTX 295 Why hsould I run it in SLI if I only have one card? ---------- Post added at 12:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 AM ---------- But would you suggest when I move to Windows 7 that I take a 64 bit or 32 bit?

Would you suggest i choose Windows 7 64 or 32 bit? What makes 7 work better with Vista btw? I also get dirver crashes on vista from time to time. If your words are true I am gonna be so damn happy:)

Should I reinstall it? I do not know how I put the DXdiag in spilers. ---------- Post added at 06:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 PM ---------- Here are my Dxdiag. DxDiag: And as you see I am using Windows Vista Home Premium 64 Bit. One thing to note is that I have added two hard drives a SATA and an IDE drive. When I add them the problems seems to get worse that the Nvidia drivers stops answering in Windows and alike. But Now I am using a 1000 W powersupply. Could this be the case?

I'll give you a dx diag instead of the system specifications. I am using patch 1.04 the latest one if I am correct. Here you have the Dxdiag diagnostic of my rig. I am using Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium About the graphic settings I have forced of Vertycal Sync. And I have also max rendering on 8 points.
