ArmaHolic ArmA 2 Optimization

[galid123]

Thank you very much for this. I can play the game at enjoyable settings with a nice framerate 25-30. My computer doesn't have recommended specs either. My card is also not running at full capacity since my power supply is about half the recommended voltage, therefore for my card to run safely, the cards performance is not at its best. The parameter change with nosplash and win xp helped me the most

galid123: welcome to the community! Until we know your PC's specifications it's difficult to help you any more.
Until then, I suggest that you try these tweaks:

you can use "start" command options to do that.
generally its [reasonably]not recomended to messing/fiddling with priority/affinity of already/launched/working processes/services/applications.
flush-out anything related with energy-saving in firmware/BIOS and operating system, grab Autoruns from Sysinternals suite and disable anything you see reasonably redundant, including [most of. except one]Task Sheduler jobs. or do EXTREME stripping-down of Windows distro by vLite/RT7Lite.

basically best use of extra-threads is attempt to combine launch of dedicated server on one of them and client - on different cores ;-)
CPU saturation start skyrocketing AGAIN

Hi im sifting through these forums slowly and getting some slightly better performance.
Just need help understanding why these settings have so many numbers? what is it measured in?

localVRAM=1055588352;
nonlocalVRAM=1048576; <i changed this to what i thought would be my 1024mb graphics card memory but then realised there were so many numbers for the localVRAM/ (pagefile?). Im guesssing its not in kb's?

any help would be much appreciated

These numbers are in bytes and changing them makes no difference.

Changing localVRAM / nonlocalVRAM have the same effect as adding line bestPerformance=1, or leetSuperDuperHaxor=1337.

The VRAM values are only written by the game, never read.
