Wow, thanks for the quick response guys, thats fantastic! I've lowered the res to 1024x768, and set the graphics to their lowest level. Its bumped it up to between 28-34 fps now. Surely I should expect a larger return than that? going from 1680x1050 all medium high, to 1024x768 with everything on lowest. looking at my cpu usage it never actually maxes out any of the threads. It taxes the 1st 1 pretty hard, and the rest are all running at 50-60%. Even when I set arma 2 to run 'high priority' in task manager. Going into the armoury and playing about in the environment I can hit 50-60fps at nearly all the highest settings, so I dont think im limited by my graphics card. Infact, credit to Bohemia, this game really does look incredible when it wants to. Im gonna rummage around all the performance tweak guides available, but does anyone know off the top of their head im BIS are gonna patch the campaign or anything? Maybe tweek performance or anything like that? Im not a graphics whore or anything like that, but I really cant stand choppy gameplay. I look at videos on youtube of people playing the campaign on slightly older hardware and their performance seems to be leagues ahead of mine. Again thanks for the quick response

I have windows 7, core i7 920, 4 gig ram, radeon 4890 and my performance is awful. sometimes get just over 30 fps at medium-high settings. On mission harvest red and its between 17-29 fps. Pretty unplayable considering the spec. Any ideas how I could improve performance? Game is updated, hard drive de-fragged.

sorry! I know this has been an ongoing issue and people are posting the same threads. Ive had this game since launch and I really do get awful performance. For Example: Im on mission Harvest Red, in the town, and my fps is averaging around the 24 mark. Minimum 19, max 27. It is extremely jerky and bordering unplayable. I understand its a demanding game, and I can see its giving my processor a decent workout under the task manager. Am i doing something wrong? Or is there some trick people have to improve the performance? I seem to come accross people in these forums and they're saying they get about 30-60 fps and im getting nowhere near that. Any help really would be appreciated. I do believe its a processor related problem as the there is not a massive difference when i change graphic levels. I play at 1680x1050 and just set the graphics to medium-high. Thanks in advance Windows 7 64 bit Core I7 920 & 2.66ghz 4 gig Ram at 1066 ati radeon 4890 Its running on a 7200rpm hard drive (just defraged) all latest drivers
