NVIDIA video card(s) owners read here!

I'm running 258.96 and they run great - For some reason, can't think of it right now I didn't want to go up to 260's..... Though I believe the 260 have a great full clean and install option now ...So you dont need to use driver cleaners..

[Spamurai]

Installed an MSi GTX460 Cyclone, which is overclocked.


Oddly enough... there is very little discernible improvement in FPS right off. I noted framerates for a variety of settings on my old card and with predictable/repeatable scenes. At best, I can only sense that maybe the framerate is a little more stable with less fluctuations.


ArmA2 bottlenecks Computers somewhere... and the more I fiddle, the more I know it's not the video card. But what exactly is the restricting hurdle?

Am I getting decent performace, would others say??

I'm coming from a 8800GT (in which I had most setttings on normal with PP OFF and Anti on low). On the benchmarks I would run 37-40 FPS -

My settings now are High mostly (with object details and terrain details set to Normal). I still have PP and Shadows OFF -

I'm now getting 57-59 FPS (though I think I"m getting a slut stutter from time to time, that I don't recall getting with my 8800GT).

Does this seem decent or not?? The game defintely looks better, I'm just wondering on the performacne overall and the possible slight stutter...

What exactly is "video memory"..... And how do you know where you should have this set to? Low, Normal, High, etc???

I have a new EVGA GTX 460 1028 MB

I have a probelm with my Gigabyte GTX460 1GB. If video memory is set to default the game crashes with artifacts. Anyone else experiance this if video memory is set to default on any GTX 460 card.

I too have just experienced this (game locking crashing with artefacts) with my VRAM set to default. It was happily using 2GB on my GTX 295 for at least 2 months until 2 days ago when I had these errors and tried reducing memory clocks at first (from my overclocked settings), then the video memory usage.

I haven't updated to the latest beta since the official patch release but with the new 1.57 i will when servers start to use it, I just hope it is not a hardware issue as it didnt appear to coincide with any software changes. I will post an update when i know more.

Heh ])rStrangelove

btw you should put Anisotropic filter on 16x and Antialiasing on 4x

I waiting for better version of GTX580 with better cooler than normal one or GTX595

There won't be a 'better' version of the 580. 40nm is at the end of the line. You may see a 580 with more RAM but Nvidia's (and AMD's for that matter) next cards will be a 'next gen' part at 28nm

As for a dual GPU card, there might be one from Nvidia but I sincerely hope they don't waste their time. Dual GPU cards are a PITA and I much prefer to simply add another card should it become necessary.

Apart from anything else, it maintains redundancy.
