Low FPS?

[Arcto]

Had a quick run through on the training missions last night and noticed low FPS throughout.

I'm running on the same graphical settings as I do with Arma2, which does not have the low fps count.

Any tips or tricks or is this version of the engine more advanced than Arma2/Arma2 OA's?

Did you try to disable PIP (picture in picture) yet?

The viewdistance and object drawing distance should have a significant impact too.

And some of the usual candidates:

• Ensuring you're running the latest graphics drivers
• Defragmenting your HD (the terrain textures make up the majority of data: ~8 GB; and are streamed in and out frequently)

Thanks for the tips guys. I will try the PIP and shadows and visibility,

I have the game running on an oct vertex 2 120gb SSD with 70GB free so defrag is not an option

I'm running the new GTX 5XX beta drivers (the ones released for BF3), could that be the cause?

The shadows are a massive FPS hit, try reducing their distance.
To probably well under 500 metres, they absolutely rape your system in Chernarus and will really effect flight over wooded areas due to the amount of them.

I had the same low FPS issue during the training missions, but I noticed that the regular Free Flight mode does not suffer from this problem and the frame rates are significantly higher in Free Flight. Not sure what it is about the training missions...

Same for me. In the ascending/descending training, I'm getting around 18 fps, but significantly better performance when flying around in missions.

See my EVGA Precision gpu stats here:



Note that I get strange spikes of GPU activity to 100% - fps drops to zero or thereabouts during these spikes. Other times GPU usage spikes correspond to better fps. The higher fps was when I was driving on the ground in an SUV. AVG fps while flying is in the mid 20's. Overall, the SLI profile for ToH seems to be working properly.

If you set atoc to 0 in the graphics cfg you will gain some FPS back, Ipersonally don't like the ataoc on the trees anyway.
And why isnt this an option in the graphics menu yet anyway as it is such a problem maker in the A2 problems forum as well?

Good question. AToC=7 increases likelihood of CTDs for me in A2 CO, but that seems to have improved in recent betas.

btw....what is the key command to show your FPS on screen? thanks
