Arma 3 issues

Kermit · July 11, 2015

Is it normal to have 15 fps on Multiplayer low settings, and around 20 on ultra? I really want the absolute max fps i can get, and 20 really doesnt cut it....

I just got a new CPU from my pentium (see my signiture) and have a 280x... Is this normal?

I have arma on my HDD

sounds like a bottleneck

edit: your CPU is bottlenecking your 280X

sounds like its not an issue with your pc its more likly an issue with the server, just remember your going to have more benefit by overclocking and having your ram at least at 2000mhz with arma.

its odd though having lower fps on lower settings. as for wanting high fps the normal is around 45 on multiplayer when there's afew on the server

I haven't played it but many people have told that Arma 3 is badly optimized and should be avoided

fps on arms is hit and miss. i have an i5 2500k and a 980ti, at 1440p all ultra i get 50fps+ and at 4k all high settings i get 40-50fps.

its a very cpu intensive and gpu intensive game. this biggest killer is draw distance and game detail at distance. lower these and you should get a better experience. also turn shadows off. no AA and set the clouds and sky to low/off. these are the things that will hammer your gpu and cpu.
