Congratulations, my fps since beta are even worse then alpha, BEFORE i upgraded my whole system. This is only going to get worse..

Hello there! Steam downloading arma 3 files atm.. Only for me or is anyone else getting the files ? ---------- Post added at 09:40 ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 ---------- seems quite large too

Are those really 50-60 fps all the time in the infrantry showcase ? :j: edit still kinda choppy in the village :(

I just played the infrantry showcase for the first time again since it was released and to my own suprise i do see a quite huge improvement.. But in the villages it is still very very choppy and there is no difference there in fps on low, medium or high... My cputin is at 42C at that point and my GPU with a custom cooler at 45(lol) i think there is still much more room for imrovement here but so far i wanted to give the devs heads up :)

New ATI Beta Driver is out ... Any news on FPS ?

Got the same problem with the dev build ... CPU at a max of 39C, GPU = 63C

same here

Reporting in ... Getting insane micro stuttering here since the patch .. hope for a fix!

-FPS still that low in General in both MP and SP, doesnt matter if on High or Standart -FPS still that low as soon as a few AI´s are active -FPS still as horrible when looking at a pixelated washed up little village with ~10 Houses(Infrantry Showcase) -Heli showcase maybe 3 FPS better yet all i saw that they changed is that a few AI´s go idle so the FPS wont go numnuts -GPU/CPU Utilization still as bad Thats it for me, ill be heading to other Games till i see an improvement Also here is a good Video;

i was visting my brother yesterday and tried it out on his pc, hes got a i7 2600k and a 660 ti .. i made a zombie sandbox server and via 5 minutes the game went down to 25fps with around 13zombies following me only(on high) i wonder if the developers are expecting us to simply blow away a thousand and some hundred bucks on a new pc to play it decently ... ? thats outrageous.. like i said, a statement from a dev would be nice.. i like to remember, i for myself am above that, and i cant even play it on standart with a acceptable framerate(not talking about mp, but even sp)... EDIT: sorry, im getting more and more sceptical http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=716 Yeah right.....

but i cant really believe these ~12 cpu´s put any cpu to sleep that much ... for example im playing skyrim with civil war unrest, 2k textures, ~30 retextures, enhanced distance, etc.. when im hitting a battle between the stormcloaks and the impirials(~35 cpu´s, have the spawn count on max) both with bows(arrow physics) and swords, while near a small village, my fps never drop below 40... and skyrim does looks better then this game, sorry to say.. it is also open worlded with a quite big map.. a word for future excpectations from the devs would be great...

I just clocked my cpu to 3.8 ghz again and tweaked this game for almost 10 hours .. i got it to run perfectly fluid on the infrantry showcase on mostly high, fxaa high with 57 fps at the beginning and to the approach of the first enemys .. BUT as soon as shots go off the fps fall down to ~31 .. i dont know ... what is it about these shots or these few ai movements that bring the fps down that tremendously ? maybe it is the new bullet physics they included, i just cant figure it out but the same problem was there with arma 2... EDIT: Distance: 1200/1000/100

Allright ; ) I used too have the 955 too and it goes up to 3.6, in some cases 3.7GHZ without chaning the voltage, read it up! Be warned, going higher and increasing voltage can end up bad

Still, can you downclock and overclock again and give us screenshots(matter of a few minutes) ? I cant believe that since we are both on the same CPU´s technology, and ive gone even higher then you...

Sorry, can i get pictures ? i cant believe that.. Did you play mp or sp ? Maybe youve just hit a good server...

Ive just been through a series of tests to look deeper into this problem. I (perfectly)overclocked my CPU from 3.2 to 3.6 to 4.0 NB, HT, Voltage and DRam included(notice that i have pretty good cooling and a good PSU) My results were confusing.. While the game never uses more then 75% of my GPU and 50% of my CPU it seems like a few AI´s bring the Game to its knees(max of 35% of cpu and ~37% of GPU usage) This leads me to believe that the cause of this problem is the engine, if not i would love to get a official statement from a proffesional programmer. My Results are the following, Start of the Infrantry Showcase CPU @ 3.2 GHZ, 42% usage 42.2 FPS CPU @ 3.6 GHZ 37% usage 43.1 FPS CPU @ 4.0 GHZ 35.4% usage 43.3 FPS I am now back at a clock of 3.5GHZ and got 43.2 FPS Like i stated in earlier comments that phenomenon occured quite often(the engine doesnt utilize the full capabilities of the Hardware) Maybe im getting to deep into this but the whole thing kinda confuses me, if myself, or anybody else could get a official statement/explanation to this problem i would be very happy.. What is not still can be and i already, like i said, lived through this with arma 2 and even today(way above the recommended specs) bad fps in arma 2/no full utilization

theres nothing more to say ... if the full retail or the future patches doesnt cure at least a little bit of the problem, i leave future arma titles forever, with me probably trying to get my money back but failing... im not asking for super fluid 60+ fps gameplay with ultra settings but at least 30+ gameplay all times on standart, i mean im above the recommended requirements.. It already breaks down at the heli showcase with a bunch of ai´s moving, even on 800x600/lowest rendering. I love this games gameplay and i do know its in alpha im just asking for what we deserve

20FPS+ in Coop... Ok, please explain one thing very clearly, why does only 30% of our cpu and 30% of our gpu get used ? Second, explain to me why i got the same fps´s on arma2 with my old Athlon X2 6000+, 4GB Ram and a HD 4870 that i have with my current Rig ? Third, why dont the fps´s change no matter what graphic settings we are on? The game runs not as good as it could be, but at least playabe in SP.. I think this is due to the fact that this game is horribly coded/memory leak, whatever. As soon as a bunch(~10AI´s) are moving the game breaks down to its knees You can also see alot of high end Intel users have the same problems.. Thats kinda of a paradox you got there, speaking of 20 fps´s in coop and 22 on the airbase, even i get the same. And playing around on the map(i assume Editor) i too get 60fps+ Also theres been quite a few games with this phenomenon, skyrim is the best example(20 fps+ just because of a simple fix that stated "removed bottleneck code") and suddenly my cpu and gpu were both at full 99% usage, bethesda then added this to a patch without even mentioning the original creator of the fix, i guess nobody remembers that... Same with max payne 3, disco scene, while jumping out of the window on the floor, 20 fps .... Just installed mp3 a few days ago and now im getting 50+ fps at the same scene ... What is it about that ? I know it is still an Alpha, and i will give it time... BUT Bohemia did this three times now(ARMA1/2/OA).. Im just kinda sceptical, sorry

Thanks! I hope you guys focus on both Intel AND Amd Systems.

Looking at the capabilities your Hardware holds, this is just sad, and im actually serious...

http://s7.directupload.net/images/130308/xauphfjj.jpg just leaving this here for the record ...

Definitely, same as in arma 2/OA and even ARMA 1 ....Im pretty sure the Retail will be no difference, but who knows... Same with ARMA 2, looks like sh**, performs even worse.. And till Today, nothing has been done about it.. I just cant believe they can fix something that is written bad from the beginning... Prove me different.... EDIT: And im not saying the Game itself isnt good (Gameplay Wise)....

hello everyone! my specs: AMD Phenom II X6 1055t @3.3 GHZ 8Gig of 1333 gskill ram(ripjaws) a Asrock 970 extreme 3 and a Sapphire HD 6870 1GB Gddr5 Im getting the same horrible framerate no matter if i have everything cranked as low as possible or on high(wich is around 27) when im on a multiplayer map and look at the terrain, with almost no trees or so (distance on 1600/900 shadow 80) the fps get as low as 24( on any given settings) In the current state of the game i have given up hope of playing it but i also accept tips, but im pretty sure i tested out everything :j: just leaving this here so the developers can read it and optimize it for this processor series or whatever... wasabi ---------- Post added at 06:23 ---------- Previous post was at 06:20 ---------- also the behavior of the fps´s are quite strange ... when im at the beginning of the infantry showcase, it runs quite "decent" (29-31 FPS) but as soon as nades go off or there are a few enemys it goes down(~23 fps) ---------- Post added at 07:40 ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 ---------- Mkkkkkkkkkkkkayyyy it seems like i didnt try everything ;) I changed AA to 4x and antiost. to x8 on Ati Control Center and also changed Vsync from always off to "anwendungseinstellung" wich pretty much means "use what the game is saying"... and now my fps bumped up to 50 on standart/high 2000/900/100 on the infantry showcase in the beginning ;) ---------- Post added at 08:11 ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 ---------- well, still unplayable in multiplayer(low fps while theres nothing) ... im actually starting to think something is wrong with my system ...

... i will keep looking for a way to cure this prob dont get me wrong, this game is amazing.. I just played the infran showcase about the 30st time, it doesnt get old, and it singleplayer it runs super fluid ( ~48 fps in battles and in front of towns ) .. I just cant play the damn multiplayer :( ---------- Post added at 07:34 ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 ---------- I just tested how much CPU load i get while being in a intense Situation (~30 AI´s, Grenades going off and FPS constant ~28 FPS) and it wont get any higher then 60% 30% 30% 30% 30% 30%, also my GPU does not go higher then 50% wich is pretty even to the CPU .... I do have faith in Bohemia for them to not dissapoint us and Fix this :( .... I remember when i played Skyrim i had 25 FPS in whiterun, then a fix came out wich just said "Removed Bottleneck Code" and my FPS instantly bumped to 55-60 constant in Whiterun ... so yeah, hope dies last :(
