HOME Aye. Thing is though, the motherboard probably won't speed things up that much, nor will overclocking. The 8600GTS was a mediocre card when it came out. By today's standards it's very lacking.

Quick question, how is Radeon 4890 1Gb in todays standards?Originally Posted by ch_123

Good. One of the best bargains out there in the mid-range of hardware, and it can run ARMA 2 well.
How about a Nvidia Geforce GTS240?
Slower than the ATI 4890. The GTS240 is a refresh of the venerable 8800GT, an excellent card for it's time (2007-2008). Have a look at the charts here and see where the 8800GT lands in comparison to the 4890.

The confidence of ignorance will always overcome indecision of knowledge.
Thanks for the link, maybe I can turn grass and shadows on now
The 4870/90 are the best price/performance ratio cards at the moment imo. Got two XFX 4870 1gb for 75 euros each and I´m very happy with it.

I haven't gone through the this topic much nor do I use forums but figured I'd share my specs with those of you whom question requirements when it comes to ArmA II. I've built a few machines - my last had dual/tri SLI 8800GTXs packed into an Antec900 in which my current machine only requires one 8800GTX!!! H311, I run CrYsis @1920x1080 on Very High with no noticeable FPS drop...
Below are my current specs for ArmA II and my PC which both work like a charm! A few buddies had me build them machines based on these these specs... took a while to match everything up in this build which cost 600ish without the card.
NOT SAYING I RECOMMEND THIS... JUST DO YOUR RESEARCH WHEN BUYING!
