Spec's: https://pastebin.com/q2D0simH DXDIAG: https://pastebin.com/43nh2uff The Game somewhat starts, but is only showing in the Task-Manager, as You can see here: https://imageshack.com/a/img922/3716/00P5cu.jpg There is no Game-Window etc.pp. showing-up. When I try to start the game in "windowed Mode", then I get this here: ... but the game starts at least. So how do we fix this ?

Luckily that I never upgraded for ARMA-3 in the past. A CPU + MoBo - Upgrade would most likely help, but as the fps-amount is getting lower and lower over the time, you are investing even more money only to try to stay on an fps-amount from ~6-9 month ago, which is really unbelievable. One day we have to play on the lowest settings just to be able to get 25-30fps, if we are unable to keep upgrading our PC's regularly. :(

I may upgrade my MoBo + CPU after I got a better screen. The sad thing is, that the fps went further down, since I had a look into it last time:

I thought after I swapped my 2x GTX780-Ti-GHz-Edition-3GB (under Water) with 2x GTX980-Ti-OC-STRIX-6GB (not under water yet), that I would come back and have a fast bench of the game and had big hopes, because I didn't touch the game for quite some time, but here are the depressing numbers: Dev-Build v1.53.132245 Stratis: Low: 87fps Standard: 71fps High: 54fps Very High: 43fps Ultra: 35fps My Rig, except the GPU's: Click My GPU's think, that I'm still in 2D-Mode when doing then Benchmarks, because they don't even enter the Boost-State, not that they would need the Boost. :huh:

DX12 Can Handle 600K Draw Calls, Increasing AMD GPU Performance by 600% DirectX 12 early tests: 400% performance increase on AMD GPUs, 150% on Nvidia So just wait and everything will become awesome, or maybe not ? :bounce3:

Yeah, I would say so. I'm unfortunately unable to push the CPU any further. :)

PhysX is CPU-only in ARMA-3 and can't be turned off. :)

Maxed-Out-Settings @1920x1080: Stratis = 31fps Altis = 16fps :)

Yeah, there was already not much of a difference between running my rig with a GTX670-OC / 2x GTX680-SOC or now the 2x GTX780-Ti-GHz-Edition. I already use 2400MHz-RAM and my CPU doesn't let me push it any further. If I want to have more power for other games, then I have to go for a new MoBo + CPU + DDR4, but I will most likely only get a ROG-Swift-Screen within the next 6 month or so. :)

It's unfortunately not impressive, but I didn't try it maxed-out this time. Just tried the normal "Ultra"-Profile: http://imageshack.com/a/img538/1039/qfueU5.jpg (130 kB) May try it completely maxed-out on the weekend if I have some spare-time. @forteh: I luckily didn't upgrade for ARMA-3 alone. ;)

My (upgraded) Rig: Stratis @Ultra-Settings = 42fps Altis @Ultra-Settings = 39fps After water-cooling my GPU's as well and pushing the Core-Voltage up to 1.313V and pushing the Clocks from 1150MHz / 7000MHz to 1431MHz / 7354MHz and even pushing the Power-Target to 130% via Bios-Mod, I gained 3fps in the Stratis-Benchmark and 2fps in the Altis-Benchmark. I'm really amazed ! :)

It seems to be NOT Windows-8.1-related, as mine is loading fine (Dev.-Branch). :)

I still wonder why some get more fps with faster RAM and some not. There seems to be no pattern. :confused:

Thanks for the info ! :)

-exThreads as well ? :confused:

Thanks for the Info / Confirmation ! :)

I totally agree with you and hope that the RC-MP-Server-Test will help to improve things a bit for you. After such a long time without major improvements I just pretty much gave-up on it. Lesson learned and there will be no more supporter-editions / pre-orders for me for BIS-Products. :)

Then everything is good I would say. Enjoy ! You can still try to squeeze more out of your system, but if you are happy how it is, then I would not bother so much about it. :)

I belong to the group which doesn't enjoy playing games with ~25-30fps and that is why I stopped playing ARMA-3 a long time ago. Dark, Night Vision on. The mission "Bingo Fuel." Friggin' hell, I've died so many times in this mission already, lol. http://i60.tinypic.com/2diojsh.png (137 kB) I didn't try many night-missions, so I'm not sure how they perform compared to day-missions. How did you enjoy it so far, with the amount of fps you got right now ? :)

Ok, I wish you good luck with it. :)

The fps in the Menu are not really representative as far as I can tell. I would try to play some SP-Missions and have a look how your fps are. Just use Fraps or something to get a fps overlay in-game. If you think that the average fps in-game are to low, then you have to adjust your quality-settings. Choose a lower profile or play around with settings like view distance etc. to find the right overall settings for yourself. Some people are able to enjoy the game with ~25-30fps, but others "need" at least 60fps to be able to enjoy the game. :)

Ok, that's good then. If you would like to push your RAM further, that better head over to the G.Skill-Forums They are a nice bunch of people which are very helpful. :)

Have a look about your HD-Graphic's from page 3-33: Click Then RAM-Timings seem not to match the ones from here: Click (under Specifications) :)

So you got at the end more fps. It's unfortunately not like in other games, where you would see bigger improvements. :)

Yeah, we can't fix that unfortunately. But you would be still able to fine-tune his ARMA-3-Settings, like View-Distance etc. , that he would get the best possible experience. At the end he has spent less money on his rig than me and ends up getting a few more fps, so the outcome is not really bad. :)
