Hardware and settings for ArmA

[Nebula]

Yep!!

I did it: I bought my new gaming laptop ..

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T7600 (2,33 GHz, 4 MB L2-cache, 667 MHz FSB)
2048MB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM (2x1024)
160 GB SATA HD (5.400 rpm)
512 MB DDR3 nVidia® GeForce™ Go 7950 GTX

I'll let you guys know what the performance is ...
If it is bad, I'm pretty much F*cked!!!!


Lets hope it works, I just neeeeeeed to play this game!!

7950GTX on a laptop nice.. should run Arma nicely.

Uh huh - that's the best specs for a laptop I've seen for a while. Nicely done.

Must have been one expensive desktop...oh and everyone probably knows this, but if you have trouble with your video card, you may want to go to the website and download the latest driver and second latest, I noticed I was having trouble with every game when I got my new upgrades.

However after uninstalling the drivers, going to the website and manual updating, it seems to work like a charm.

[Nebula]

Well, we'll see what happens when I get it.. Keep in mind that it is a 7950 GTX GO . . I'll let you guys know offcourse..

I just cant wait!!!!!

Here are my specs. I went out and buyed this about 5 years ago just for OFP. Now time for another for ARMA. I can play the tutorial and watch the armory action with ease. ***Singleplayer and Multiplayer are basically unplayable. Luckily I ordered a new rig. With a AthlonX2 3800 and motherboard that supports PCI Express video cards that I can build on. Still have a few weeks till then.

P4 1.8
1024 pc2700RAM
ATI 9600XT 128mb (AGP)

Intel P4 1.79GHz
Nvidia GeForce2 Mx 400
1 GB RAM
27GB Hard Drive

I can't run arma on this.


Wait, does having a e6600 Core 2 Duo chip slow down gameplay because ArmA can only use 1 core?

Also, where do you chance the Maxmem option for ram usage?

[xnodunitx]

Possibly, since the game is not dual core compatible you would be running one core, which would be a single 1.76ghz, which would make alot of sense as to why you cannot run it.

Its not because of the dual cores themselves, I have a P4 3.2ghz dual core and it runs great, but thats because its a single 3.2ghz running it.

Crap, I didn't realise this topic was for posting your setups etc etc...

I ordered my new computer today;

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (2 x 2.4GHz)
2 Gigs of Corsair Ram
250gig SATA II hard drive
NVidia 256Mb 8600GTS Graphics card
E-MU 1212m Soundcard (craps on all consumer cards like the x-fi range)

Any ideas on how this will handle ArmA? I'd like to know what i can expect from it.
