my rig is very similar to yours :) I have a Phenom2 X4 965 @3.6 (about... never really understood how fast it goes!) , an Ati5870 with 2Gb and 8Gb of RAM (though I think it is @1000, not @1300 :j:) ... I tried yesterday, adding the "no blur" mod... more because I do not like the blurring effect than for the fps gain. btw, how do I find how many fps Arma2 is running during the game?

NO WAY!!:butbut: thanx for the tip, I would never have guessed it :) !! so you move the processing from the cpu (which is kind of overloaded) to the gpu (which is not as under pression)... good to know :)

sorry guys :) there is something I just can't understand :) how come you say to set shadows to "very high"?? I always thought the higher the more weight on GPU :confused: ?? what am I missing??

guys sry for stepping in :) so just to be sure I understood it correctly... is there any way to map the throttle to collective and the stick to cyclic, so that flying AA2 choppers will become exactly like flying EECH choppers? never mind instruments for now, I saw there is a mod out there that I would like to try (mod should include IHADSS for Apache), and whatever, flying a 2seat chopper by myself necessarly involves some minor compromise with reality. but what I mean is using throttle and stick in AA2 the same way you would in EECH... sort of getting an (much) improved gfx EECH (again, let alone instruments for now :) )

thanx for reply guys you gave me something to think about :) please do not hate me :) but I would like to ask you another question... Zaira, you typed you get about 25 in campaign... well, can you still enjoy the game, or it gets too slow to feel the action? whatever, as for now my card is empty, but most probably in september I will buy the game :asd: it is not just a game it is an experience, and I do not want to miss it :) !

hi there guys :) sorry for stepping in... I would like to ask you guys something about the benchmark. It has been a while since I decided to try ArmaII, which I consider one of the best games ever designed. So the day before yesterday I d/l the demo of ArmaOA (honestly I do not remember if it is Arma demo or ArmaOA demo) off steam. I tried the single player and the chopper training, and gfx run smooth... but I was alone on the battlefield, so no surprise. I then saw the "benchmark" mission and launched it. At the end of the sequence I got a "58 fps medium" result, which IMHO was kind of good. But I still have a doubt: when I tried the WIC benchmark, that was a real mess! explosions, planes strafing, dozens of troops... Arma demo was quite "light" if you know what I mean. Only 1 explosion, 1 tank and a chopper, a few soldiers... so my question is: how reliable is it? If I buy the game and find myself in a city environment, maybe fps will drop down to a point the game is unplayable. I just built my new rig which costed me a bunch of $$... I will not be able to afford a new one for a while and I just do not feel about buying a game if I cannot run it at full detail... so the 2 questions are: 1 can I trust the benchmark result to give me an idea of how good the game will run? 2 with my rig, do you think I can run it in 1680*1050 high (not "highest") detail? do you think I may run it FullHD (1920*1080 or whatever it is :) ) my rig: PhenomII X4 965 @3.6 Asus CrossHair IV Ati 5870 Toxic , 2Gb 8Gb Ram (maybe OCZ, I do not remember :/ should be @1Gh though) Win7 64 thanx for your time and attention :) Giulio ps. Crysis and Crysis Warhead run smooth on 1680*1050 and high detail, some occasional hitchup or tearing, but overall is great pps. world in conflict runs excellent on 1680*1050 and full detail
