I want to max this game out at 60+ FPS with out a doubt, here is what I am aiming for: Could this build pull it off? I will Be over clocking both CPU and GPU http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=22672066 Case: COOLER MASTER HAF X RC-942-KKN1 Black Steel/ Plastic ATX Full Tower Mother Board: ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX I GPU: x2 Sli EVGA 04G-P4-2690-KR GeForce GTX 690 4GB 512-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000 CPU Cooler: CORSAIR Hydro series H50 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler PSU: COOLER MASTER Silent Pro Gold Series RSA00-80GAD3-US 1000W ATX 12V v2.3 / EPS 12V v2.92 SLI Ready SSD: SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series MZ-7PD256BW 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Monitor: BenQ XL2420T Black-Red 24" 5ms (2ms GTG) HDMI Widescreen LED Backlight Height & Pivot Adjustable 120Hz 3D-Ready LCD Monitor

I know about OC'ing. Do you really think the i7-3970k is necessary over i5-3570K for gaming?

Your absolutely I didn't notice the socket on the CPU. I was looking for a 6 core CPU because i know arma is cpu hungry. ---------- Post added at 18:28 ---------- Previous post was at 18:23 ---------- I have been looking into CPU water cooling. But im not a fan im not sure witch one is good or not. And if its really worth it...

Your absolutely I didn't notice the socket on the CPU. I was looking for a 6 core CPU because i know arma is cpu hungry.

Why go with Nvidia? I did my research and the HD 7970 GHz Edition beats the GTX 680. If its about Physx, Arma 3 Physx runs on CPU not gpu.

Thx, I was looking around to see were i could make my thread didn't see that section.

Im going to build me a new gaming rig just for Arma 3. Here is what i came up with, I believe this should be able to run Arma 3 at Fps 60+ with out a sweat with every thing on ultra. My question is could it easily run arma 3 with out a prob on ultra? I need suggestions.

I use these setting and my game works great: -maxMem=8176 -maxvram=2048 -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=7 -noSplash -skipintro

This worked for me and increased my fps by 15. Thought i shared it with you guys. I take no credit for this found it on another website. Hope it helps Enjoy. Arma 3 CPU Optimization 1. Go to Steam Library 2. Go to "Arma 3" Right Click then select "Properties" 3. Select "Set Launch Options" 4. Copy and paste the correct launch command line below to what your system is setup for and click "OK". For AMD CPU users: AMD Dual Core with 4GB System Ram: "-noSplash -cpuCount=2 -high" AMD Quad Core with 4GB Ram: "-noSplash -cpuCount=4 -high" AMD Six Core with 4GB Ram: "-noSplash -cpuCount=6 -high" AMD Eight Core with 4GB Ram: "-noSplash -cpuCount=8 -high" ______________________________________________ If your running more than 8GB Ram then apply this to the end of the launch line: "-maxMem=8192" This will allow your game to utilize 8GB system Ram instead of 4GB. ______________________________________________ Intel CPU: For Hyperthreaded CPU's such as a Quad Core you will apply this: -cpuCount=8 This will enable your Hyperthreads on your CPU so your CPU will act as an eight core when running Arma 3. If you are running a Hyperthreaded Six Core then: -cpuCount=12 If you are running a Hyperthreaded Eight Core or Eight Core Xeon then apply this: -cpuCount=16 If you are running just a non Hyperthreaded CPU such as a Quad Core then select "4" instead of "8" same for a Dual Core you will select "2" instead of "4". All AMD CPU's are NOT Hyperthreaded so Hyperthreaded options is highly not recommended as this can cause system failure or damage. I will not be responible for system failure and damage if you choose to select more cores then you have on your command line! -high: makes your operating system prioritize services and processes to run your game better but this can cause system failure and instability if you dont have a good running system. If you Overclock this can cause system instability. -noSplash: disables startup videos and advertisements. -cpuCount=#: enables extra CPU cores and Hyperthreads. -maxMem=#: when set to "6144" (6GB) and up lets your game use more system Ram then 4GB. Do not set to higher than 4GB if you dont have at least 8GB. You can set to "8192" (8GB) if you have 12GB+ Ram.

Does this lower FPS?

OK today hacking has gotten allot worst every game i join No less than 30min into the game every one gets turned into a seagull or grenades start spawning every where..... WTF???? Needs to be fixed soon
