I've detailed exactly what I've tried doing in another thread, but seeing a post in here saying that the fixes in this thread are useless because of the latest patches made me have to come here to say this: That's a lie. While the fixes might not /do/ much anymore compared to what they might have done in the past, they're still a lot better than just trusting BI to fix the optimization issues themselves. Pretty obvious from the amount of issues almost every user seems to have that this game was way ahead of its time, in the worst way possible. It might be nice to say "Hey, we made a really realistic simulator!" but it's pointless when it runs like crap on all but the most ridiculous hardware setups.
I'm having the same problem, the game is only utilizing 20-30% of my HD 7870 2GB at certain areas like chernogorsk. And my CPU should be able to handle it easily... BF3 is able to squeeze 100% out of my GPU at all times.

I hope ArmA 3 concentrates on utilizing the computers better, its just stupid that my perfectly capable GPU sits there unused at 20-30%.
