ok.. so im curious how much difference there was with your graphics card upgrade. im using a gtx260 but my cpu is quadcore bulldozer 3.6ghz and i have 8 gigs ram. framrate kinda sucks on toh but not arma. was it way better??

is anyone else having crash to desktop issues? doesnt seem to happen in ArmA2 but TOH does it alot. also, ArmA2 runs way smoother on Full settings then ToH... well... not full settings.. i do keep the draw distance down a bit.

with my gtx 260 it wasnt workn bad but not perfect so i set the default to "high" instead of very high and it was super smooth but i still went back and tweaked things one at a time till i found the perfect setting balance between Framrate and nice textures.

this is good.. i think im goin 23 23 23, the outer 2 will be cheap hdtv's though. gonna be awsome

I was having the exact same stuttering issues as i said in my previous post.. frustrated i went into my task manager and looked at the resource monitor and realized my cpu was sitting at 54% usage with no programs running in the tray.. not even steam. found out it was my Nvidia auto update system somehow running up the cpu. turned off the auto update, cpu dropped to 1% game runs on almost full settings now and like i said, gtx 260, older dual core processor, 4 gigs of ram. hard drive is a nothing special 500 gig drive that i never defrag. i guess it was some sort of glitch with the nvidia updater, not the hard drive for me. runs awesome, now i love this sim! flight sim with the added touch of having a storyline and being able to get out and interact with stuff... amazing!! ps, i hate computers!

Yes mine is doing the same thing. I want to go out and upgrade my machine, right now i have all the "recommended" hardware.. exactly the same stuttering issue right from the openning screen with the heli doing flybys. but if the HDD is an issue. and i do get a SSD, how do i run the game on the ssd if i bought the game off of steam? TBH i dont even really know how steam works but i cant even find the games location and do i just run steam off of the SSD? any help would be great.. and i think i will still upgrade my comp anyway b/c the hardware is gettn a little outdated, amd duel core, 4 gigs of RAM, gtx 260, windows 7 64. I can run any sim and or game that i have on FULL settings with no problem.. until now.

I am also having 2-3 second freezes during flight.. actually even if im sitting on the ground. EVEN when the main title screen is up.. with the heli flying around... i get 3 second freezes. really starting to get frustrating. i like the gameplay and simulator aspects enough to go out and upgrade my mobo, processor and RAM as i am running an amd duel core with 4 gigs of ram and a gtx 260 witch are all the "recommended" hardware. I cant see it being a drive issue, ive never had a drive speed issue with any large scale simulators before. Again.. no problems with any other simulators set on FULL settings across the board. and also if I bought the game on steam.. how do i go about putting it on an SSD if i do give up and get all new hardware??

Yeah looks like others may be having problems too, but i thought i would post a thread. I have a GTX 260, 4G RAM and a decent processor, windows 7 64, basically all the "recommended" hardware. i feel like i should be able to crank up most settings to at least high detail and at least 3/4 on draw distance. I get major framerate drop near seattle, it just doesnt seem right. most other games i have i can run everything on max with no problems. anyone have any solutions? or answers? I am running TOH on steam.
