I'm sure a lot of people have dropped posts for this, but this is really frustrating. MY computer. AMD athlon 8120 3.1 ghz with a 15mb cache (8 cores) 8 gigs corsair ddr3 ram at 1600 Nvidia gtx 560 firmi with 2gigs ddr5 256bit ram 700 watt power box. sata III 7200 rpm hd with a 64mb cache ASUS m5a99xevo (new upgraded version as of october 2012) upgraded gpu drivers as of yesterday Now all in all I'm pretty sure that meets the recommended requirements, yet i get from 15 to 30 fps average. The 25 to 30 parts i don't mind, this game seems quite smooth at those rates (much like crysis did), but the 15 to 20 rates, ie what i usualy am getting is allmost unplayable. I real am at a loss, even when i drop all my settings to low (which is pretty much where i am at) there is only a 5 to 7 fps difference than on high. Now at such low frame rates, that 5 to 7 is everything so thus i set them down as much as i can stand (my view distance is at 700, objects the same, shadows at 80, aa is off and anstropic is at 2, hdr and post processing are at lowest and dynamic lights are on low.... and of course, vsync is off. Something is wrong, im not sure what but it is. The odd thing is i got the same bad performance on ARMA II, only about 20 to 30 fps as my average rather than 15 to 20 (though on arma 2 that was a lot worse of a drop given that the game had so much mouselag) Ive tried setting my render rate and my resolution down and that does nothing, ive also tried overclocking my cpu to about 3.8 ghz and nothing. Could it be that the 8120 Athlon cpu just has massive issues with the game. The odd thing is my auto fan dosn't seem to be kicking in. This was the same way with arma 2, i looked and found very little of my gpu was being used at all. What the hell is wrong with my machine, and why is it only ARMA games that seem to be affected? PS ive tried the -CpuCount=8 command and that didnt realy help as far as i could tell.

im pretty sure i said that in my first post, that i was running my view distances at 700 everything in my visual options is set to low save for textures as it makes no difference infact none of the visual options makes anymore than 5 fps difference between max and low.

on the single player and the regular default coop missions. and no vsync is off, infact, thats in my original post that vsync is off, and pp is down...
