Ok, I bought Arma 3 as soon as it came out. I experienced poor performance from the beginning, but after I downloaded the new beta drivers from AMD 13.3 b2 I have gotten much better performance.
Before the update I got 35-60 fps in multiplayer if it was a good server depending on where I was on the island.
The same at helicopters showcase.
I got better fps in editor mode.I got 60-70 fps.
This was before I updated drivers.
Now I get 50-90 fps in multiplayer. Depending on the server of course.
still get bad fps on helicopters showcase. 35-60 fps
Editor mode I get 55-105 fps.
My GPU is working 99% now and the multiplayer mode editor. sometimes it falls a bit depending on where I am on the island. but on Helicopters showcase the work of up to 60% only.
CPU alternates between all core, ranging from 30-85% sometimes working several simultaneously.
As you can see, this is my first post here on the forum, but I have felt with all the posts from day one.
anyway I just wanted to share this information. Maybe it can help someone get a better experience of this fantastic game.
