So do you need a super computer to play this game on high settings, I have the following and with everything on medium it runs pretty baddly, low fps and sluggish: i7 950 @ 3.4ghz 6GB gskill DDR3 tri channel XFX ATI 5870 I get blistering performance in any other game, on fully maxed out settings, so whats the deal is the 1300 GBP my pc cost me not enought to run this thing or am i missing something. I played around with the settings but didnt really make much difference.

yeh comes back to my point of the game seeming to have problems utilizing multicore cpu's past anything with more than 2. Like yourself having better performance with an older cpu and older gcard. I think its just down to poor design of the game and lack of forsight.

If you actually bother reading posts I was talking about PR, not standard BF2. The only program running in the background whilst playing is bitdefender antivirus. Im at work at the moment so I cant give specific map fps info etc. @MadDogX Thnx for the info i ll try that and let you know how it goes.

To be honest i dont really fancy buying another gcard or set of cards just for one game. So its a problem with ATI cards then.... ?

its so annoying because im a big fan of project reality for bf2 and this game looks amazing as a miltary simulator :(

yup AA is already off in the driver settings. @swissMAG I can't remember if i turned off vysnc pretty sure i did. I think its still application controlled, is there an option for it in OA?

Hey, Yup im on win 7 64bit ultimate, fresh install as of yesterday, Arma OA is the first thing to be installed (apart from drivers etc). Running on a Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache. Havent tried disabling HT in bios but will do when i get home, also i'll try those settings, however im not too optimisitc.

yeh im starting to think the game might have a cap on multicore rendering at 2 cores. Im seeing tons of posts from people saying they get great performance on dual core systems and the same ammount of people scratching their heads at why their performance is so crap on quad of i7 systems. ---------- Post added at 09:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 AM ---------- Indeed, well i can tell you my problem does not stem from my LCD monitor.

VGA? who said anything about vga, im running on dvi m8 HD signal Would be using HDMI but windows 7 has an annoying problem with the resolutions.

yes im running it on a samsung 27" hd screen @ 1920 x 1200 or whatever the precise res is :P

I don't really understand it, i've got a second pc that has a very similar setup, i7 920 and a ati 5850 and arma 2 runs really baddly on that such to the extent that i would have to turn everything down to low. Seems crazy to me. Is it a problem with the games design, not utilizing multicore architecture properly or something?
