Hi, new guy here and sory to have to jump straiight in with a request for advice.
Picked up arma2 a few days ago and so far it seems i'm going to be one of the many with performance issues. Doesnt seem to be hardware related though ass whatever settings i chose in game make ZERO difference to the framerate which stays between 23-26. Everything on low to everything on very high sees the same fps.
The onlly thing that does increase frames somewhat is to lower the resolutions significantly. This isnt a solution though for obvious reasons.
Ive tried a few performance mods like the low detail buildings and trees which helps a little but it seems ther problem lies elsewhere given the way the framerate seems locked despite settings.
i'll post my specs up below in the hope that someone with a similar system can advise on some things which have worked for them in getting the most out of this game. If theres nothing that can be done at this point then fair enough. 25fps isnt the end of the world and in fairness it feels fairly smooth compared to some games at that framerate.
E8500 @ 4.5ghz
6gb 1066 ddr2
GTX 280 (usually clocked to 702/1402/1202 but arma seems to dislike this)
Win7
1920*1200
running arma2 on 4x mult AA and 8xAF
everything else shouldnt be too important.....regular 7200rpm hard drive might be the only other thing.
Help is hugely appreciated.
