Probably asked a hundred times, but how would a GeForce 9800 GTX run the game?

My machines always punched above its weight for some reason. Video card it is then, I'll post the exact specs later but I have to go out now.

Basically I can play Arma2 on low settings, but beyond small firefights it gets so choppy it's distracting. I have 3GB of RAM and a GeForce 8400 graphics card, I'm a bit skint atm and can only improve one or the other, which improvement is likely to bring a greater performance increase, another GB of RAM, or getting a new video card a notch up from the one I currently have? I'm guessing video card, but thought it would be a good idea to check with someone who knows more about computers than me.

I'm aware there's a rabbit one, any others? I know there's animals on Arma2 but my system isn't quite good enough to run it (not very well anyway).

Anybody?

Soldiers with a middle eastern complexion. If there is already a mod like it then i'd be grateful if somebody could point me in the right direction :cool:

Thinking of buying Arma2 but i just want to make sure its going to be an all round more realistic combat experience than the first one. One thing i have noticed in Arma 1 is that the urban areas always seem a little too quiet, especially when making your own missions. Is there a way to get the civilians to 'talk' to each other and some decent ambient background sounds that you can add into your missions? I just want it to feel a little more like im fighting in a town thats inhabited by people rather than a ghost town :)

Just a hunch but i'm guessing this is a fairly common problem, had a quick search but couldn't find a solution. Just installed the game and the sky is screwed, the sky is like just grey with no textures anywhere. Anybody else with this issue?

Except...i have to do the same thing everytime i start the game for some reason.

Just patched the game. Running it on Windows Vista on low video settings. My graphics card is a Nvidia GeForce 8400, just downloaded a driver for it but hasn't made a difference. I can see the light from the sun in the sky but the sky itself is just a grey textureless colour. Framerate wise its running fine on low settings but planning on getting another stick of RAM so i can crank it up a little bit. I can remember having a similar problem with the first game once. Edit: Problem solved. Just needed to turn the Video Memory Settings up to very high and bingo i can see the sky :-]

Would a GeForce 8400 GS run this game? I think my system meets the minimum specs but i'm thinking of upgrading my RAM from 2GB to 3GB just to be safe. Im not bothered if i can't play it on high settings or whatever, i lose interest in the campaigns + the games editor is of much greater interest to me. Im thinking performance could be improved further if i downloaded the mod that lets you play maps like Razani and Avgani on ArmA2. Thanks
