Thread: Are you going to upgrade because of ARMA 3?

  1. #1

    Are you going to upgrade because of ARMA 3?

    Just curious to see how many people are going to upgrade because of this game. I will be grabbing two GTX 670's soon before the game launches. I would love to see this game in it's full glory since I had trouble optimizing for ARMA 2 and the 20k view distance might be a hassle .

    Regardless of ARMA 3, the cards would be a significant upgrade over my 5850's and I'm about due for an upgrade.

    What upgrades do you think you're getting before ARMA 3?
    If not, what are your specs?

    No - 11 chars !l33t # Specs/upgrade discussion before release are a little bit pointless.... just wait until A3 is released and watch the "A3 performance issue" threads. But if you have money to burn => buy all the BIS games!

    I prefer waiting for the release first to get new graphics card !

    I think that i7 2600k @ 5ghz is enough as a cpu.

    Yes, I am in desperate need of an upgrade.

    I'm going to make a grand entrance into the computer store and yell "show me your finest gaming PC, money is no object!"
    Well that's what I would do if I won the lottery, in the meantime I will continue to beg my wife for a new rig.

    Yes.
    GFX card No.3, my first tri-SLi setup on the way.
    And CPU upgraded to a i7-990X, probably second hand as new they are still rediculously priced but most users who buy extreme chips are too pussy to overclock them anyway so thrashed ones are few and far between.
    New motherboard and i5 CPU are possibly cheaper option but I have put a lot of work into the liquid cooling already and don't want to bin it just yet.
