Changing the video setting does nothing to FPS? (Arma 3)

[rice4thewin]

I cant seem to figure out what is wrong. No matter what video settings I put the fps stays about the same. I would play in ultra and the fps for multiplayer would stay around 20-30 fps. Chance the settings to low same 20-30 fps. This happens in single player too, but it would be 50-60 fps for all settings. Also I already set parameters and stuff on the arma 3 launcher and it made no difference to my fps.

That's Arma for you. You definitely can change settings to improve FPS but you have to change the right ones.

For example if you are CPU bound and in your case you definitely are as Arma is huge single thread hog, some settings on LOW use CPU and on high GPU and the other way around. So you need to find which is which and change it so that you use your CPU not as much.

Also throwing that game on SSS helps immensely with stuttering.

 

View distance, PIP, AA, PostProcess are the most demanding settings.

 

 

Also on some servers you can't do really much about it as there is a ton of scripts which mean low FPS.

 

30-40FPS on King of the Hill 100 players is actually very good even with i7 overclocked. (For reference).

I've found Arma to be poorly coded in certain calls to the CPU where the GPU (red or green) would be more efficient.
