to my hd for now i only have 1 Model SAMSUNG HD103UJ ATA Device so os+files all on same. first time i have a pc like this. but it worked amazing good so far. i actually planned a small expensive fast one for os guess i will do this now! if i have defragmented my hd? no idea :) i am swiss..well i formated it as first action after buying, if thats what you mean. but it has still 400 of 930 gb free fragments are the parts on the hd right? the sectors? Total Sectors 1'953'520'065 other programs: adaware i deinstalled. avg has no automatic scans on but it is of course running in background... well steam runs ofc ;) and hamachi but disabling prozess/tree didnt help otherwise only win prozesses ati and so on all stuff you need. i check them on google regulary to check for worms and so on. so basicly i know from all those processes i need them and they dont slow me down. others i took out of boot alrdy. *I wouldn't go below the optimal resolution of your monitor though, so keep that* thats the only thing that makes it look really ugly anyway *Apart from that problem listen to kklownboy and lower your settings anyway* this made no sence in arma 2 however since i fused the game and OA missions run fine it made sence for them at least so there i get 20-30 fps with 5000 visibility AA off/ filtering high/ texture normal/ object high/post process high/ terrain normal/ like i said i only played 3 missions in OA so far. and they went good. arma 2 still fails. and one of them was this tank mission so i guess it will stay fine in OA but ya if fps drops to much i can still do it on 2500 but so far in oa missions no need for that. so it seems adjusting settings helped in OA 2 it seems fine and i can play it. while arma 2 even after fusing with Oa still stutters---> i will check my cpu video memory to see usage ---> i will buy second hd for os and change to win 7 at same time if arma 2 still stutters then i report back ;) thx for all help so far i appreciate it. i am an expirienced gamer but never played alot of shooters. no cs no battlefield no cod. only flashpoint 1 raindbow-series and fear fascinated me. and i think arma 2 would do it aswell ;) ---------- Post added at 07:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 PM ---------- Your video memory should be at High with 1GB (per GPU) or maybe try default. I wouldn't go below the optimal resolution of your monitor though, so keep that. No idea how crossfire works for you, but it's seems to be kind of hit or miss from what I read. So with a bit of luck your GPU isn't much faster than a single 4870. uhm at steam forum they told me to install gpu-z so here a screen of it http://gpuz.techpowerup.com/10/09/19/9wu.png and http://gpuz.techpowerup.com/10/09/19/3m9.png wich shows i max use 40% of my gpu so much to hard on the gpu lol

i have OA so i just have to fuse them for a start? i saw the thread on how to do it alrdy. i dont think it will fix my problem but i give it a try. for the rest you said. i have to be more clear i guess! ;) i tried out different setting including visibility down to 1000. and ofc i tried all stuff on medium low first....wich had no effect on my problem at all! well ya i got 10-20 average fps more AS LONG I RUN STRAIGHT but as fast i try to turn around the game drops to 0 fps NO MATTER WHAT MY SETTINGS ARE ON. sry for cps but its more clear that way. like i said the settings are just on high again in the screen because lowering them gave no effect on theese *0 frames for 2 second* drops when i turn around. i mean ofc i could upgrade rank 4 card to rank 1 (and i bet you mean 5970 2 gb^^) and get some fps more oh and oveclocking same there. but my point is: i am way above the minimum requirements! so i expect the game to run without dropping to 0 frames everytime i turn around (even while beeing on minimum settings) i dont want to run highest settings i am fine with AA off and stuff...i am fine with only 10 fps on high settings....i prefer it to 30 fps on low settings but it goes down to 0 when i turn around. from 10fps and from 30 fps. and this just cant be! something must be broken on my or armas 2 end and to find out what is broken i am here. i fused the game arma 2 missions still drop to 0 fps on turning around- low settings 1280x1024 the expansion missions however seem to be fine 10-35 fps depending on settings only dropped to 0 once so far first 3 missions i can even let it on 1920x1...

i have an 4870x2 aswell AMD Phenom II X4 955 Processor, 3210 Mhz, 4 Core(s) 8gb ram (kingston 1333hz) m4a79t deluxe is my motherboard vista home premium 64 bit wen i turn aa on i get 3 fps on max 10 on mid 12 on off... well that wouldnt make me come to the forums...no AA for once doesnt botter me. but my main problem is a bit worse but could be related ;) so after i dropped anti alising to off i was pleased for a short time 25 fps on first mission fluent like i am used to play games^^ but then on mission 3 or 4 i start getting fps drops. it goes down to 0 for about 2 sec very often. aslong i run straight and dont turn around it seems fine but when i turn left or right it drops to 0 i cant do screenshots Oo they are all black in paint! things i tried so far: 4. Add the following parameters: Code: -winxp -maxmem=2047 -cpuCount=4 -nosplash didnt help but when active i can do screen shots ;) why ever. http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles...109Hotfix.aspx no change dropping other settings didnt remove the problem visibility shadows and so on a bit better frames but they still drop to 0 when i turn around Oo i could link some screens ^^ the first one is amazing since it shows 2 fps and is cut on the bottom ...really strange as if it would run 2 versions 1 with 35 fps one with 12 that i see check it out http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/5953/arma2fps.jpg then with my settings like i said i tried out different ones even visibility to 1000 didnt help...as you can see only 8-12 fps http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/8191/arma2settings2.jpg and sometimes after alt tab it looks like this http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/7851/arma2fail.jpg like i said after adding Code: -winxp -maxmem=2047 -cpuCount=4 -nosplash at steam to startcommands i could make screen shots tough it limits my ram and doest fix the fps so i removed it again^^
