Looking at the i5-4670K --3.4ghz..., turbo to 3.8ghz, unlocked, 'bout $50 dollars more here in Canada.

Found this youtube tweak guide from Jshock:

As Forteh mentioned, K series i5 are 'unlocked', allowing for overclocking. Look for an i5 in your price range, "Haswell" i5's are powerful cpus ..., think 3.5ghz or better.

Performance has gone down for me since v1.38. Altis benchmark was 47, now it's 42. Was on the Bis server (chimera koth) yesterday.., full, 102 players, and frames were low about 23fps. ..., tho we are talking 100+ players which is an amazing thing in itself. I'm on the same server now, alone, pulling 70+fps --so to me it looks like v1.44 needs work to get back up to par with large player counts. I played a full 60 slot server and frames were good in the 40s. Today gonna play a 75 slot server ..., see how it goes.... Forgot to mention bis test servers will be running in de-bug mode, so that eats frames too.

I would not buy a 3.2ghz cpu --more powerful cpu = higher frames.

Try twisting the dials ..., Up the bass & cut the treble helps alot. If you got graphic EQ, can shape the sound band by band.

You guys look at 'Tao Folding Map' mod?: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?148517-Tao-Folding-Map&highlight=map

Feeling guilty being overly harsh on you ... sound ingame needs work, the work they are doing now is causing new problems. There are things i tweak for better sound.: Best thing i got is a sound driver with an 8-band graphic EQ. --comes with my razer mouse. An EQ can clean the sound. Bass/Treble -- i use heavy bass, brings out the under-tones, like gunfire, footsteps, and suppresses overtones, like sonic cracks. Look at this Razer youtube to see the the driver: Keith Richards once said, "If I don't like the sound, I twist the dials..."

"....they probably think that playing with a average of 40 fps is good...." Haters gonna hate. Tho i have no idea how 40fps-steady is bad for muli-player --in my aviation games it's common to limit frames to 40 for a smooth ride. Why do you think people use vsync? Perhaps your issue is, "Big rig; small mind."? --where the rig goes from 100fps to 40fps every second causing screen tear. Frames ain't up to your standards?, there's x-box. Meanwhile, 11,733 players are online right now: http://arma3.swec.se/server/list So, 11 thousand odd players must be the, "...dont listen to these people..." guys. Pitiful. "....do not know any better." --et toi?

Guess this thread only ever had one way to go ....

Hey, good news! I don't use launcher either. Add the to your start-up: -noLauncher

May well still be sweetFX .dll's still there in the Dir. Was a big problem last year. People would remove the folder, but not the .dll. Gonna search old threads.... ---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ---------- Have you got " dxgi.dll " in the Dir? If so, rename it with a semi-colon " ;dxgi.dll " to disable it. ---------- Post added at 06:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 PM ---------- Or cut it out. dxgi.dll

Players Online: 10539 Servers Online: 6191 http://arma3.swec.se/server/list Guess somebody forgot to tell these guys ingame right now about that....

Suggest you read the audio thread in dev branch: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?154605-Audio-Tweaking-(dev-branch) They got a new team on sounds, so they break stuff as they fix others, wip.

When you say, "get into the game", what are you trying to play? Corrupted savegames? Can you get into the editor? Did you ever use 'sweetFX'? --those .dll need to go. Steam workshop missions? Delete'em. Steam streaming? Steam overlay? Steam ui enabled? Temp folders like, %APPDATA%\..\local\arma 3\SteamMissionsCache .Rtp crash logs? --forgot where they are... Guess you can try a re-install again --but delete everthing left after uninstalling thru steam: arma Dir, temp files. profiles ought to be safe.

Humm..., maybe re-install the 'vcredist' thingy?: Go into arma3 Dir, open '_CommonRedist' folder; open 'vcredist'; open '2013' folder; run the vcredist_x64, or _x86 for 32-bit os. Follow with a defrag & re-boot the 'puter. Keep us posted, good luck.

Some good news in today's dev branch changelog: DATA •Tweaked: Changed audibility of footsteps Still a work-in-progress.

They don't need to..., they got the airforce.

Thought the 1x-2x was accounting for the ingame soldiers vision, his ability to zoom. Played the new 'America's Army' and your soldier has no zoom on his vision. Was alittle strange after playing arma for so long.

Hehe..., i've fallen in love with the Cyrus. A battle rifle full of 9.3mm sweetness. I will pay for my ..., Precious! ========= There, i got it. Mother would be chasing me with a wooden spoon if she knew i paid full price! God bless her.

Well, tho it's not "pay-to-win" --it sure the hell is, "pay-to-not-be-annoyed". I'm ok with the watermarks; I'm ok with the 'buy-box' on the right of the screen; But the banner blocking my aim every 10 minutes or so is just plain wrong! I'll admit i'm cheap ..., twas my scotish mother's fault! For the love of Mike! --I need a steam sale!

An out-fall pipe straight out to sea --like in Canada. Not kidding, there's a large city on the west coast that does exactly that..., pipe runs near 5 miles out. Sewage plant? --We don't need no stinkin' sewage plant!

Wondering if you can push it off the screen in the 'lay-out' settings?

Yeah whatever. I play mp near every day. Full servers running up to 120 slots without a hitch --all on a low-end system. That's a fact, not a slanted opinion.

Turbo boost is automatic. It's a power saving feature. Here's a settings guide for arma: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?164958-ArmA-3-Performance-Tweaks-and-Settings-Guide
