EDIT : how can I disabled Vsync with ATI? Despite disabled in ATT, Vsync is always enabled in game...

Thank you dudes for your advices :) It's sure that Vista is not a good thing for that game, but I think I have "discovered" the real cause of my bad result => it's simply my CPU frequency (I've got a i7 860 @ stock, 2.8GHz). I have overcloked (just a little : 10% => 3080MHz) my CPU and re-run the test (2 times), and the result is 7% higher (4357 at 3080Mhz versus 4056 at 2800Mhz). Arma II is VERY CPU(frequency)-limited. So, it's logical that a Quad core CPU OC at 4GHz (with the same GPU) is better than mine... I hope my explain is clear (i'm french and like all french I have a bad english :() EDIT : JW custom => I cannot disabled Vsync (I have an ATI graphic card), maybe with ATT but someone says that it's impossible despite ATT... I don't know how disabled PhysX. Yankis => I'll have Seven soon.

I did the test with same settings as your's and result is "horrible" : Settings : very high for all, AA (on high), resolution on 1680*1050 Result (second time) : 2800 !!! So, just one question : WHY with that configuration, I have this result?

So, Videos drivers : 9.9 (without Catalyst Control Center) Settings : All normal (including AA), Post-processing Low both resolutions 1680*1050 First time 3355 Second time 3935

Hi all, I'm wondering if my result is normal... Intel Core i7 860 @ stock G.Skill 4GB DDR3 PC12800 ATI HD Radeon 4890 1GB Asus P7P55D Vista 64-bit Test Settings : Video Memory - High Post Processing - Low Anti-Aliasing - Off All other settings - Normal Resolution - 1680x 1050 RESULTS : 3430 (HT disabled in bios) Is it normal for this computer? How can I increase the score (change Vista for seven)? Is the game limited by the GPU or CP first? Thanks and sorry for my bad english :)
