I don't think that I have a problem with memory at all, its my graphics card really that's the problem, and its integrated so there isn't really an option of replacing it. I've had a little look around at the external ones but they seem to be very costly, consider a lot of work and messing about to get working and I have my suspicions that it wont work too greatly. The only real solution for me right now is to buy a desktop which I am considering doing, its just a case of finding the correct one to suit me. Thanks for the help guys, I really appreciate it.

Yeah thanks jurrasstoil, I have just been over it all with a friend of mine that knows this stuff, its a shame really as its a great laptop in every other aspect, just the graphics card really lets it down.

I bought the Arma 3 Beta last night after checking out some videos of the game and thinking it seemed pretty decent, and maybe it is, if I could actually get to play the game. Okay so I have done my research looking up this problem and realised many other people are having FPS issues with the Arma 3 Beta. My problem is that I have tried all basics and still have no luck, I have tried changing the log (GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1; GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1;) and saw no effect, I have turned ALL of the game settings down to the lowest they can go. I have even resorted to trying a couple of programs, the Razer Game Booster and a Driver Booster to check if all drivers are up to date, but STILL I am getting 4~5 fps. I am getting this at the very start of the Infantry Showcase, I have tried the Scuba Showcase to see if it is any different, my FPS increased to 10 at some points but as soon as I hit land it fell down to 4/5 again. Here is a screenshot of my config page: http://imgur.com/OABcfFq Now this is the important part. YES I am running the game on a laptop, but its a new laptop, I am running Windows 8 with a i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.40 GHz, 8 GB RAM on a 64-bit OS. (Im not sure if I missed anything there or if I gave unnecessary information, I don't know a great deal about computers in that sense). Yes the computer is a laptop and laptops are not made for gaming I know, but it should be able to handle it, should it not? If I am missing any details that may be needed to help solve this issue please state what to look for and how to find it, thanks in advance! Seems like a waste of £30 to me right now. EDIT: I think I have discovered the problem. Turns out my laptop has an Intel HD Graphics 4000 video card which is supposedly rather shoddy for gaming, and its integrated so there is no way of changing it. Looks like im stuck with not being able to play the game unless I go out and buy a desktop. Pretty depressing really.
