    Just to add my 2-cents because I recently upgraded to a 27'' Monitor (1080x1920) and it works fine all maxed out with my old cpu and 3 GByte RAM and quite old graphiccard - see spoiler.

    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.

    first - BF2 as military simulator ? heh, does it simulate balistic kinetics ?

    nevermind

    please type your exact ingame result :

    FPS, which island, how many units on map

    maybe other software in background eats memory or what ?

    lot of people here have much weaker and cheaper PCs and run Arma2 well

    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.

    Based on my experience with ATI (HD4870 1GB) you should disable AA (or at least experiment with the different AA parameters available in your driver control panel) and instead go with a greater than 100% 3D resolution (i.e. Super Sampling/Full Screen AA). Worth a try anyway.

    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?

    WRONG!

    With his setup, he can easely run the Game.

    Im running 6032 x 1080 ingame and its working perfectly fine with about 5k VD. See PC Specs below.

    There are some basics about the whole Video Settings.

    Render Resolution to 100%

    Video Memory to Very High

    Postprocess Renering to Very Low (looks even better)

    Shadow to High (so its calculated on the Graphiccard)

    AA to Normal (no big visuals there)

    Viewdistance to about 3.5k

    Object, Terrain & Textur to High

    Are you running a 64Bit Windows to adress the 6Gb of Ram? Did you Defrag your HDD (with like GameBooster)? You have enough free Space on your HDD? What kind of HDD?

    If all of this doesnt help, try disable HT in BIOS and clean up your system. With some cleanups it sould run without Problems.

    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.

    Thanks

    oo and i have XP SP2

    maybe new Windows sucks ?

    i have models and textures on very high, render 100%

    rest is on normal, terrain on low and post proces disabled (i dont like it at all)

    Im beggining to doubt your ability to give advice :P

    It is odd. I have also an old 2-core AMD and a Nvidia 8800GTS and the game runs pretty smooth with 1920x1200.

    I've never tested how many FPS it is because it does not matter. If it's ok, then it's ok.

    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.

    i don't know this new types of PC, HD, TV etc.

    i have set-up which i said, all for me works well at this setup although it is 3 years old

    my VGA is GTS 250 and i have average 30 FPS on Chernarus at 1280*1024 at 19 LCD

    Indeed, well i can tell you my problem does not stem from my LCD monitor.

    you have stong PC, maybe you use 1900*1200 pixel screen ???

    i have in home

    AMD 6000+ (dual core from 2008) , i have 2 GB Ram, i have GTS250 VGA and ... i have 30 FPS on Chernarus with high tex and models, rest on average, terrain on very low (i like OFP feel without grass)

    and it works good for me at 1280*1024 19 LCD

    my PC is from 2008/2007 and all works okay

    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?

    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.
