Will my PC Run this? What CPU/GPU to get? What settings? System Specifications.

get a I7 if you got the money, you wont need to upgrade for like 3 years, just maybe more ram,

The estimation I have made some time before in http://forums.bistudio.com/showpost....04&postcount=1 still seems to be valid.

If you are aiming for the best experience and do not care for money, buy the fastest quad you can get and you should get the best experience. However, if you have a moderate budget, for the same price you will most likely get significantly higher frequency Dual core than a Quad core would be, and in most missions this will result in better performance.

Suma, can you maybe give any informations about if the dedicated server will use multiple cores?
So finally we can have even larger battles than with 120 People playing live. (like at IC-Arma for instance).
Would be nice to hear that AI also gets their own core like in single player so there could be bigger coops and warefare with better server performance as well.

Thanks!

Well, in all fairness, a Q9650 isnt that much slower than a i7 920 (Assuming you don't bother overclocking). Better off waiting for something spectacular in future than spending hundreds to replace your motherboard and RAM.

If supported properly. Do you think that 500 + person can play at once? And what would be needed?

[Steakslim]

I don't think it'd be that extreme. I guess one could wish that we could actually get a server with more than 64 players with proper hardware support.

[ScorpionGuard]

Is 64 players the cap on ArmA 2? If so. Why the drop in the number of person that can play in MP. In ArmA 1. You could play 250 + person with the right hardware.

Like in ArmA1 they didnt say you could play 250. Never seen that many but i saw more than what was stated. Maybe the 50+ is a mark set where you wont need special hardware for good flow etc. I think its possible to go beyond it tbh.

ArmA motto: "You can do ANYTHING in ArmA". Hope that is true for ArmA2 as well. Should be.

I'm wondering what are your setups during your testing with multiplay.
i.e.=
Deicated servers?
In game server?
or like I'm doing, a dedi and gaming on the same pc?
ArmA does very well for me on this 2 cpu/4 core pc @3ghz.

would my good old E6600 be able to run the game?
