ArmA3Mark - Benchmark your ArmA 3

After having waited so long for a benchmark mission, no one provided to the community, I took the initiative and created the ArmA 3 Version of the toad´s arma-mark to benchmark the MilSim we all appreciate. The benchmark is still in the early phases and will be updated later on to fully utilize its potential.

Unzip the mission file and extract it into the mission folder in your steam -> arma3 directory.

Happy benchmarking.

thanks for the initiative

good enough scenarios i think, gj.

my bench:

Yep... confirmed it is now public, just downloaded it :)

This was sorely needed. I did a run and got some variable script errors in some scenes, apparently nothing show stopping. put a "-showScriptErrors" to see what i mean.

Aside of that would suggest two things, one is for the results be copyToClipboard for easy access and sharing*, another is to settle some default settings to normalize results from different users/systems.

Many thanks for this. :bounce3:

* adding this in init.sqs under #scoreloop does the job but lacks good formatting (newlines go in plain text)

copyToClipboard format["- RESULTS -\n-----------\nTest One - %1\nTest Two - %2\nTest Three - %3\nTest Four - %4\nTest Five - %5\n%7's OFPMark is %6!\n\n - press 'ESC' to quit -",(scores select 0),(scores select 1),(scores select 2),(scores select 3),(scores select 4),(((scores select 0) + (scores select 1) + (scores select 2) + (scores select 3) + (scores select 4)) / 5) * 100,(name player)]

- RESULTS -\n-----------\nTest One - 33.1077\nTest Two - 23.714\nTest Three - 19.94\nTest Four - 21.4516\nTest Five - 38.2514\nGamma's OFPMark is 2729.29!\n\n - press 'ESC' to quit -

Point of this is to have on the one hand test scenarios with little to no AI active in the scene and on the other side showcases, where there is a lot of AI calculation done in the engine evironment, referring to test 2 and 3 here mainly with the amount of AI soldiers and vehicles.

Wasn't sure of parameters in test so I used recommended Default as well as placing all settings to Standard/No AA.

Dev Build:0.53. 103478

Default Settings:

Resolution: Native 2560x1440

Texture: Very High

Objects: Ultra

Terrain: Very High

Clouds: Ultra

Shadows: Ultra

Particles: Very High

Score: 3829.01

All Standard/No AA:

Resolution: 2560x1440

All Standard

Score: 5384.37

Specs in sig. Just to note mid-range tex mod was running and when I disabled it I actually had lower scores.

Give me a moment to implement your clever suggestion....

thanks helo for the benchmark. Do we get more infantry-egoperspective-sequences in the future?

latest dev build, latest nvidia driver, AI=1 (expert)

Version 0.6 is up with the amendment that you can paste the results in a document of your choice (ctrl+v) for a more feasible reporting of results.

Thanks!

please post the Settings you benched. The result only makes no sense.:o

Check his sig ;)

Will update the results to this post later, gonna make the benchmark soon.

Check his sig ;)

with "Settings" i mean roughly the....Settings, not the System :p

~7500 with everything lowest

~5000 with 1000 object viewdistance and under quality all but particles set to high, rest of the settings should be gpu heavy and I'm not gpu limited, pip always off of course, but shouldn't impact the benchmark.

Core i5-750 4.2GHz, 8GB ddr3-1600

Nice work, I hope more people will share the results!

seems that it doesn't crossfire too well:

I get a script error

Error in expression <stop>
 Error position: <stop>
 Error Undefined variable in expression: stop

im not going to do this until you decide on a de facto quality setting to run it on, otherwise whats the point?

you can compare every setting providing that you adjust the same settings. Why a standarized setting? Everyone have other preferences related to his system and other factors.

Custom settings might of course be useful for personal evaluation, but are absolutely pointless otherwise. Defined settings is the only way to check relative performance, which is where the most interest lies for the community.

EDIT: I am not totally sure but i suspect the Presets do not affect all possible settings, but one of these could serve has a basis i think. And then there are those which have tweeked the arma profile, which would further increase deviations.

the view distance is preset by the benchmark. Defined Settings are of course more useful than customs.

I think that RAM speed is crucial in this test. On the first run I get terrible FPS in the first test due to the textures still loading, gets better with 2nd and 3rd run.

Ahhh Internet forums. Where we all get told what we need.

Drives me nuts. I mean who wants an open benchmark to see which settings make the most individual difference for ones own playing experience and to maximize ones own fps. No no. We need something totally locked so its only a competition between rigs. Ie how much one is willing to spend vs other interests.

If that's such a great idea than post a set of presets you choose and people can use that if they like and post the results from the "presets" My god. Instead people just complain that its flexible and doesn't mean they can feel like a man based on a benchmark? Done my rant....

Interestingly mine showed no difference between high and very high but tanked on ultra

Edit- and by the way.... THANKS FOR MAKING THIS TEST!!!!
