your good man, If you're getting bad frames, Overclock the CPU

its a pretty intensive CPU game

[Atmos]

your cpu is going to bottleneck. But considering my 4.6-7ghz 4790k bottlenecks be constantly in that game; you're going to be about as good as it gets.

Its fine, arma 3 is a CPU demanding game. The better the CPU the better the performance. And if your interested I am apart of a group (Mil-sim) If your interested you can hope on our TS: ts114.light-speed.com:4568

[blackadder]

So i have a 4690k and 970,everything is fine untill you play online. Honestly still a fun game. Mostly in the 40s online with dips in 20s with high/ultra.

You'll be fine - but avoid OCing - the NEX PSUs are crappy.

I'd drop the SSD for now and pick up a GTX 980, then down the road pick up a SSD. You'll be trading off boot speed for now, but you'll have more gaming horsepower.

Oh, you already have it built? I thought you were talking about building a PC and you were worried you wouldn't be able to run it.

[themaniac]

EVGA B1, G1 and NEX are bad

dont forget the W1's

[don_svetlio]

dont forget the W1's

Don't know W1, linky please

[themaniac]

Don't know W1, linky please

Arma 3 is great game but the optimization is pathetic.

I have no problem running it on Ultra in SP or COOP with few friends and stay above 60FPS but if I go MP King of the Hill 100 players I will drop to 20FPS no matter the settings. Even on the lowest settings.

Game only utilizes my CPU at 40% max (i7 4770k OC to 4.5GHz) and GPU at around 70% (GTX 770).

So yes, you can run it. It will run bad on most MP 50 player servers.

Also I would like to say that FPS in this game really depends on server you connect to. Good servers are usually full because of that so you may wait in a line.

The more scripts there is the lower the FPS gets.

to late bro.

you picked right any ways an ssd is good for arma, make sure your ram is running at 1866 since arma likes fast ram too

most of it has to do with server side performance, the wasteland I usally play on with about 50 - 60 others I rarely drop under the 50's

the game isnt "un optimized" its just doing alot of more things then the typical fps hence why arma is usally classed as a sim

Yes as I said.

I used to play Wasteland on some Russian server that was really lightweight and I got 70FPS no problem even if there were 80 people. Then there were servers where I was happy with 30FPS with only 30 people.

-This guide is the best guide i found, http://wiki.day0.com.au/ArmA_3_Performance_Tweaks_and_Settings_Guide

 

-OC-ing my CPU to 4.4Ghz gave me about 10 more fps (i5 4690K)

 

-dont expect more than 25 fps on a 80 player king of the hill server

 

-set up view distance depending what you play (max view distance for air vehicles, *example)

 

-a fast drive will help you with popin, because of how scopes are made, zooming with an LRPS scope, inside of kavala, youll get some stutters from realoding the textures when you zoomout (*wasteland server*, on my 170 MB/s HDD,its pretty full and i have to defrag it)

 

i have about 80 fps on an empty map , singleplayer

30-60 on A3 wasteland, 70p server (armajunkies wasteland)

same with altis life 100p server (grandfatheraltis.co.uk)

[kuddlesworth9419]

No set-up will run this game well in multilayer. It's very server dependant and most servers in multilayer are not very good.

You have better specs than myself, and I can run it; so shouldn't be a problem.
