As others have already stated, your rig is really outdated, not just a bit. Arma as well as many of the near future games will be unplayable. In your shoes I wouldn't even bother waiting for "Arma's better optimization" before upgrading it as a whole, I really think it is mission impossible. Unless you re not planning to be gaming much in the future :-)

Been doing that before, tried it even harder after issue. Barely 10 light proccesses running besides arma, explorer.exe and other basic stuff. I also uninstalled and downloaded everything from scratch, ditched gamebooster and ran the game with no parameters at all, no tweaking, nothing. Default video settings, then set to Low default, then disabled/lowed everything, issue persists. =(

Driver Booster: Perfect drivers along the board -maxvram: Deleted parameter, issue persists Development version: issue persists

So yeah...after the latest update, while I did notice a significant improvement in my fps, the game is still unplayable for me due to a constant, every 3 seconds, stuttering. I was not experiencing this before. Multiplayer had FPS issues but single player missions were running perfectly smooth even in higher settings. It happens every time, in every server, in every showcase, even in a completely empty stratis map, even with 500 vision range and everything low/disabled, right off the start, non-stop, even right after turning on the PC! Windows 7 64bit - Fully updated, scanned, registry clean AMD Phenom II X6 1090T ~3.2Ghz AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series: Tried with Catalyst Version 13.09 and 13.10 beta - no difference 8192mb RAM Over 30% of HD space open, zero fragmentation Using gamebooster, same as before this problem appeared, 0 fragmentation in arma3 folder. .cfg: No vsync GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1; (tested with 1,000, 2, 3, 4) GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1; (tested with 0 too) Played with video settings a whole day, even with everything to low/disabled it would still occur. FPS could be great, but the same stuttering would not go away, even in single player I repeat. High-Ultra settings, still very playable fps wise, stutter stutter stutter. Steam&gamebooster launch parameters (same as before): -noSplash -cpuCount=6 -high -exThreads=7 -maxMem=6144 -maxvram=1024 -noLogs -world=empty -skipintro Temperatures are fine, no cores are parked, same as before. I'm aware of all the AMD issues with Arma 3 but I repeat, I did not have this before! So unless it's a huge coincidence it's probably not hardware side. I'm desperate!
