Yes, It's worth the risk. I haven't died yet. Btw, the quote on your signature is wrong. It was Dr Michael Ellner who said it :P

Is there a way I can make my avatar keep running in the game, without having to keep the W key depressed all the time? Sometimes in CTI I am faced with a long walk, that can take 5 or even 10 minutes. It would be a good opportunity to make coffee, or even take my dog out to piss, if I could leave the keyboard. At the moment, I use a bit of blu-tac and a paperweight to keep the key depressed...

I understand that, but it still puzzles me as to why the performance is slightly worse on my new PC. The card is from my old PC. Perhaps Windows 7 causes it to run a little slower also.

thanks...appreciated!

Thanks. Next month may be. When I get paid. One thing that is really odd is that I get better performance on my older computer, that has a single core processor with a higher clock speed. Seriously. I've but the 8600 back in my old computer and fps is at 10-12 fps with everything on. Post process effects are high, higher resolution, AA and Anisotropic on low, shadows on high, post-process effects high. On the new system, with the same graphic card, fps was around 5 to 8 with those settings. It can't just be the graphic card. It must be another issue with the new hardware. Mind boggling. Anyway, turning the sliders down a bit on my old PC, I can get 15fps which is playable...and still have reasonable graphics. Turning everything off, I'm up to 24 - 28 fps!!!!! ---------- Post added at 08:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ---------- No I'm not, it's the same performance. I had 3D resolution at 50%...sorry!

Wow...good to know. Thanks. What nVidia card should I be looking at then? Best performance per dollar...preferably under $200 ---------- Post added at 06:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ---------- Cheers Dead3yez, I've been looking at your stuff earlier. What puzzles me is that I get the same performance from my old computer!

What's wrong with the GTS 250?

The costs have to be spread out over time, but the problem with a computer is that everything has to be put together at once, and everything dates so quickly.

Thanks...I'll see if I can live with the low settings until I finally get that video card!

Thanks. Right now the only video settings that seem to give me acceptable frame rates is everything minimised. Minimums. This gets me 20 -24 fps. Perhaps you can tell me which are the CPU dependant features and I can slide them up a bit? ---------- Post added at 03:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ---------- Thanks!

Thanks. I didn't realise there were other video settings. The only things is if I buy a new graphics card it will be only for this game, and I don't want waste money on that if it will provide only a slight performance increase. ---------- Post added at 02:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ---------- WeIt does indeed seem to be the video card...so far this box has cost me nearly $1000...but at least it's upgradable now. It will take an i7 and 16GB dual channel, and probably be good for graphics cards that come out over the next year. So it's just to wait and save up. Seem to be have been doing that for months, though...

If I choose "low" for performance quality, visability drops to 1200, and I get 11fps in single player. That's in a simple environment with no buildings, just walking.

Sure. Visability 1600 Brightness 1 Gamma 1 Quality Performance = High Interface Res = 1600 x 1024 x 32 3D Res = 1600 x 1024 x 32 I can't set the quality performance to "normal". It jumps to either high, or low.

I had problems with my old PC, which was: Intel P4 3Ghz (single core) 1.5GB DDR2 GeForce 8600GT 512MB I have now built a new PC with the following: Intel Core i5-750 @ 2.66GB (A quad core processor) 4GB dual Channel DDR3 I'm using the same Graphic card as before, for now, until I can afford a new one, and ok, the memory could be better, but again, it was all my budget allowed at present. But... ...the performance is utterly terrible! It is no better than on my old system. I'm getting between 5 and 8 fps in multiplayer, and between 8-15 in single player, with the following settings: Resolution (both screen and render) = 1600 x 1024 x 32 FSAA = off 3D_Performance / Scene complexity = 160000 I didn't expect a miracle with this hardware, but I did expect to be able to at least play this game, even if I could not experience the wonderfully immersive graphics. But even with this older video card, it should be higher than 5fps. 5fps is just totally unplayable. Is this normal? Very disappointing!

Where can I find ArmA II add-ons, like equipment, models, maps and so on?
