I've tried all this tips and tricks but nothing helped for me

Tried...
-various drivers, from 185-190.
-some command line options (-winxp, -cpucount=8...)
-Different CFG Settings (FSAA, HDR Precision, Scene complexity)
-All grapics quality settings from low to high, visual range from low to high
-different nHancer Settings(VSync, FSAA Transparency, SLI compatibility ...)
-with and without SLI
-Hypertreading activated/disabled
and so on...

I cant get the fps over 20-30. Even SLI off/on give me only about 3 more fps. Post Processing off about 1-2. Object Details off 1-2, Landscape Detail 1, all the other settings change nearly nothing. If SLI is enabled it shows that both GPUs load is at about 30-50%.

Any ideas? :/

This is my rig:
Core i920 @ 3Ghz
6 GB DDR3 1600 Ram
Nvidia Geforce GTX 295
Asus Rampage 2 Extreme
SB X-Fi
2 HDDs in Raid 0
Vista 64

There is nothing wrong with your pc, it's the game that doesn't use your hardware as it should. There is NO solution at this moment. Some config tweaks can enhance your frame rate.

Try: 3Dperformance: 100000 in cfg file to start. Make sure that after you have changed your config, you make the cfg file read-only, otherwise it will be overwritten. Turn off headbobbing in you profile (again: read-only).

In your nVidia control panel:

Force Vsync off
set anisotropic filtering to 8

Ingame settings:
videomemory: high
AF: disabled
AA: disabled
shadows: high
post processing: disabled
everything else: normal

And play it under windows XP 32 bit with the latest driver from nvidia.
Vista 64 bit doesn't work well with this game.

Good luck.

Thank you. I'll give it a try when i'm back home.

The game is broken so your really just spinning your wheels. Wait for the patch.

Hi Folks,
i'm not able to play the game (with Patch 1.02) with my 8800GT & latest nvidia drivers,
because i get after a few minutes in game a lot of graphic bugs.
I see only single, different "fullscreen textures" and then the game freezed.
Sometimes a bluescreen pops ups cause there problems with the nv4_disp.dll.

I'm so frustrated because I have no Idea what should do know.
I haven't not enough pc experiences to find a solution.
If anybody has an idea, please help! Thanks!

try driver 182.50 (I am also on 8800GT and find this driver hasn't returned any blue screens yet, and less crashes...only 2 crashes to desktop last night)

Turn off "threaded optimization" in your driver control panel, or via nHancer. See if that helps the BSOD's and CTD's. Did for me.

[wooly-back-jack]

yeah I did that with the 190 and it didnt help, I still turn it off (actually just checked it was on Auto, had no probs last night)with 182.50 though (with 182.50 I have got physX enabled and no probs so far, can't see any difference either mind...lol)

[Spamurai]

I have an 8800 GT, and I've tried all the drivers from 177 to the 190 beta. I have tried tweaking the various Control Panel settings suggested here in the forums, I've tried turning all kinds of in-game settings up and down... but it doesn't prevent the "Nividia Display Driver has stopped working unexpectedly" error which crashes the system.

And it happens at seemingly random intervals. Sometimes after an hour of play, sometimes with in 15 minutes.

It never happens anywhere else, except while playing ArmA 2. (Not even ArmA 1).

^^ this ^^

save your frustrations. i wasted many a weekend trying to sort it out - it's obviously in dire need of a patch by all accounts but those who would like you to buy new hardware
