Super low GPU usage on MP only???

[domokun]

How do you do that?

Open the ATi's Catalyst Control Centre (installed by default when you install ATi's video drivers), select the category "Gaming", then "3D Application Settings" and then scroll down to the section entitled "Catalyst AI" and move the slider from right to left (from Quality to High Quality).
Does that help?

I can't imagine increasing GPU load would increase framerate, but I guess it would be worth a try.

Nope, Didnt work

Bump again

Yeah, the other day I was barely breaking 50% of both CPU and GPU usage with most everything on Very High. Issue still exists even in the latest betas it seems.

Hard to diagnose, though, since it's not the same for everyone.

Problem Carries over to Iron Front

[Midhaven]

I'm running a fairly new pc.
Intel i5 3570k, GF GTX 670, 8gb ram and an SSD. Not overclocked.

Singleplayer runs perfectly, locked at 60 FPS with everything maxed out.
Go into multiplayer (Warfare) I get 45 fps at 1000 view distance (still very much playable), turn it up to 4000 and I get 25fps (playable but far from smooth).

GPU and all 4 CPU cores working at 35%. Que?
Been reading about this on a lot of forums, not one with any ideas?

Such a odd issue

[Rubber Grunt.dk]

What seems to help on my fps is:

alt+tab to windows and back to game

or

1) alt+tab to windows
2) start another instance of arma2 wait until it loads to main menu
3) alt+tab back to first instance
4) alt+tab back to 2nd instance and exit it
5) return to the first instance now with better fps (but still depends on server fps, scene complexity)

In mp warfare on Chernorus in late game where client fps drops to unplayable level, this might have to be repeated several times during the game to "clear" the fps back to a higher level.
It seems like the client fps is clogging up with time...dunno if it's some memory leak, engine limitation or "lazy" programming.

I hope this problem is not ported to Arma3...
