arma 3 PC upgrade

[Kramal6]

Hey there

I've recently been playing a lot of arma 3 overpoch with my friends, but now I want to be able to crank up the graphics. I've got a 2gb 770 and an i5-4670 and playing on a 1080p144hz monitor. I've read that arma3 uses physx but mainly on the CPU. So my question is which piece of hardware I should upgrade and to what ?

Uhh, what settings do you normally play on in Arma 3?

Å mix between standard and high

I have a gtx 770 2gb and a 4690k @ 4.3 ghz and I play on some things high but the rest is ultra 0__0

Hmmm it might be the cPu then.. mine is a non k running at stock

Also have the 2GB 770, Xeon 1230v3 and play it at ultra @60fpsish how much FPS do you have ?

This is also dependent on how well the server owner has done his custom coding or add on coding. so it will very from server to server even if they are similar game types (i.e. Wasteland, Epoch, KotH)

[HmmR]

arma 3 is a not gpu intensive game so it depends on cpu like minecraft

[Kramal6]

Yeah I've noticed that different servers vary in terms of fps, I'm at around 40-50 on the most though

Yeah, just like with Arma 2. You will definitely know when you log in and find a bad one.

Your CPU will be the limiting factor here, unfortunately there's nothing you can really upgrade to. The reason the game runs so poorly is because it is terribly multithreaded. It uses like one core for the game and one for audio.
