Best CPU for Arma 3

[ewenjo]

What is the best CPU I can get to play arma 3? Unlimited budget.

The game is old and single threaded so... A Pentium G4560

ARMA 3 doesn't exactly run "great" on anything, but you should be aiming for a CPU with high single-threaded performance. I'd recommend a i7-7700K and fast DDR4 memory.

Is Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000MHz 2x8GB good enough ram?

It's good. But, eh, not what I'd pick if I had an "unlimited budget".

What do you recommend?

You're going to be CPU-bottlenecked in ARMA 3... so if you have a generous budget, I'd get a 16GB kit of 3600MHz TridentZs.

Ok, thank you for your time. The corsair ram was just something I had laying around so.

Oh, if you have the RAM already, I'd just use it. No need to buy another kit.

Arma III loves fast memory. I'd say 3000–3200 MHz at least, and if you can overclock beyond that, it still appears to help.

 

I don't think any CPU out there is going to do any better than an overclocked 7700K in this game, if it's as reliant on individual thread performance as it sounds.

I will try with the ram I've got now with a i7 7700k and upgrade if It's not good enough

Lol for an unoptimized game. Funny guy
