I know few games that are heavy on cpu but i don't know much game who "fully" use a quadcore or more except bf3 and crysis3. Aion,guild wars 2,wow and assassin creed 3 all of them are big titles who are cpu bound and yet they have issues with cpu/performance. I wanted too clarify things because you seem to think that making a multithreaded game "fully" using a quadcore or more is easy while in fact there are no games out there doing it and the closest i know are bf3 and crysis 3 so that make two games. Now you can prove me wrong and give me names of all the other games you're talking about doing it.

a preset overall quality would make it easier.

Changing the viewdistance still have an impact on the result. anyway here my results I've just used preset overall quality for simple comparaison with a resolution at 1920x1080 v-sync off cpu : 2600k @ 4.5 ghz ht off graphic card : gtx 580 memory : 12 gb @ 1600 mhz arma 3 on SSD preset ultra:OFPMark 3190.37 preset high:OFPMark 5088.39 preset low:OFPMark 8519.47

Not sure why you are saying this because it is matter. "Faster cpu" does increase your fps. faster hdd/ssd never improved my fps in arma. Maybe its smoother with a ssd/ramdisk than a HDD but the fps doesn't change at all while increasing your cpu clock increase your fps for sure.

On which point im wrong ? I said don't expect 100% cpu usage in a game with a quadcore,i didn't talk about gpu usage. Also i don't understand why you think its a gpu bottleneck when the indicators clearly show a cpu bottleneck like most of us.

Don't expect 100% cpu usage with a quadcore in a game and your gpu is at 40/50 % because of cpu bottleneck and your graphic settings. Also I'm suprised that your cpu usage reach 80% while most of people in this thread including me report 60% at max. Someone has any thoughts on this ?

Hello, I've added a backpack heap on the ground,all is almost working except that when i choose a backpack,it doesnt take it. It's working for one unit out of the 10 though. I've searched on the forum but i don't find what i've done wrong. A little help would be appreciated please.

The problem with the test you're showing is that its a "gpu limited scenario". Even at 2ghz/4 cores they don't get any performance change so its not surprising that between 3.3 ghz/4 cores and 3.3ghz/2 cores there is no difference. They should have done it with lower resolution to create a "cpu limited scenario" like in this and here you would have seen that the third and fourth cores give more performance when it needs it in bf3.

apparently a gtx580 3GB wouldnt change the result that much even at 1600p with AA. http://www.behardware.com/articles/844-1/geforce-gtx-580-3gb-vs-1-5gb-test-sli-and-surround.html

try shift minus and type flush. Also im not sure 1160 mb is a memory leak.

Its an invisible wall to protect respawn :)

I have a similar system 2600k/gtx580 on a ssd and im experiencing fps drop too which lead to "mini freezes" but i have no stutter when video memory is set on default. You could try that if its not done yet.

Hello, We have this error on a dedicated server running domination each time after 15/20 hours of playing. I tryed to google it but cant find info on what this error means exactly and why it does happen. the hardware is rockstable,i've done a 8 hours memtest and a prime95 for 20 hours. the server running combined operation version 1.57.(no addon) we are about 6/7 players playing on it since there is already a ticket,i just come here to know if someone found a "workaround" because we would like at least be able to finish the mission. server's specs : e8400 @ 3 ghz 4GB ram velociraptor 150 pagefile 10 go windows 7 x64 30 mb/s down/5 mb/s up thanks.

Bump. It seems now that the out of memory come faster since the patch 1.59. Anyone could confirm or found a fix for it ? I wonder why some people dont have this problem and some do but i think its related to the mission(warfare/domi) and how long it runs.

Thanks i found out later,i was asking because i have similar specs and i was getting lower results. I have closer results now. I also noticed that the gain between 2600k stock and overclocked is not that great at least in the benchs. I need to test more in game with lot of ai's to be sure of that.

Thanks for those benchs result. Could you say me please the exact settings including viewdistance you used for bm08 ?

the fps result on this benchmark is lower too ? Did you add mod/addons ? Did you update your chipset's drivers ?

Actually fraps takes more than 10 fps ^^ with the same settings(1900*1200) i get 23 fps in the first benchmark when recording and 38 fps when its not recording. gtx 580 + 2600k @ 4.7 ghz

Tmonitor :) Edit:the good version is here

Thanks, awesome work ! I noticed that you forgot to take off the debug script on the version 1.0 :P

I was asking for HT because some people reported performance loss with it enabled in Arma,otherwrise it makes no difference for me but maybe with 6 cores + HT it does.

I had a 5870 and i had no problem with performance with arma so its not ati. Anyway if you could do some arma benchmark with the settings used and say the results,it could help.

did you try with ht off and without addon ? Also is your catalyst settings by default ?

Do you have another game/bench to try ? Just to see if the problem is with arma only.

which driver you are using ? You should try with 10.4. even with only 1 gpu u should have more than that especially with this resolution. you tried with viewdistance 2.4 k ?
