ArmA2 / OA (low) performance issues

[Sweeps28]

Alright cool. Im getting a new case to fit the new power supply and graphics card, then hopefully that should do it. Thanks for all the help guys

Try turning down some settings maybe? If you are truly running everything at "Very High" then things like HDR Precision and Terrain Detail are going to hurt your FPS a lot at Very High. Also, set Video Memory to Default if you haven't already. Try using less Anti-Aliasing as well and use FXAA or SMAA instead (enabled from the .cfg file).

What resolution are you running? What View Distance?

The 560 Ti is a good card but you're probably not going to be able to max out.

please post all the settings and run the benchmark 01 and e08 scenario's. that way we can compare.

Month ago i bought new CPU for my computer and reinstalled Windows. Now when i got ArmA 2 installed I have been experiencing weird thing: ArmA 2 has 10-20 FPS all time even I have Quad Core and play on lowest settings. (Older one was AMD Athlon II x2). ArmA 2 with my old CPU could run high settings without any problems and had FPS around 30-40 at all times.

Here is my rig:

OS is Windows 7 64bit
AS ROCK N68C-S UCC
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition
Radeon HD 6870 1024MB GDDR5
4GB RAM

strange, your computer works fine in all other games? normal benchmark scores etc?

On some yes, i have been experiencing same problems with Men of War & Battlefield 3. On my other games they work like normal.

your bios supports the cpu (might be a new stepping) and is not in some sort of incredibly slow compatibility mode?

I have a decent vid card - Radeon HD6870 - and I can drop into an empty Chernarus or a simple mission and get 60+ fps on high settings, but any time I join a multiplayer game or attempt complex missions, my fps drops down to 20 or so. My CPU is an Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 2.8Ghz (OCed to 3.2). Am I correct in assuming this is what's holding me back? And if so, is there any way to optimize the game for CPU performance rather than VPU? Because when I lower graphics settings it doesn't effect framerate at all.

It would really suck if I can't enjoy multiplayer or some of the dynamic full-map missions. I've already put 200+ hours into the editor and SP missions, so I can't really complain, but I just really wish MP was an option. This is the only game this rig is incapable of playing, regardless of graphics settings. Bummer!

*EDIT* - Also, I just read on RockPaperShotgun that ARMA gets better framerates online because the server does all the large CPU calculation work for you. Is there any truth to this? I find quite the opposite, I can't even play simple MP games without a framerate of 20!

I think so, i edited some settings on BIOS, but ArmA2 is still lagging
