I'm getting absolutely abysmal performance when in game. I get like 18-22 fps at lowest possible settings, and 15-18 at highest possible settings. However, in the main menu I get 80-100 fps on all maxxed settings. It's only when I get ingame that the fps drops tremendously. Anyone know what could be causing the issue?
I tried changing the ATOC settings in the config file but it didn't help at all.
HD 6870
Phenom II x6 1090T 3.2Ghz
8GB DDR3 1600Mhz RAM
2TB HD 3200RPM
Windows 7 SP1
3200rpm HDD? Or did u just mis-write 7200?
Anyway, install www.playclaw.com trial and use the overlay to see on the fly in-game how the game is using your GPU and CPU and monitor temps as well. That should give you a start at least to try to figure out what is holding you back.
At that resolution it does have to do with your CPU, there isn't adequate distribution of load with the GPU: set textures on High, Objects, Terrain & AF - VERY High, PP - Medium at least & then play with the view distance.Originally Posted by WallyWombat
That way you'll get your 43 FPS everywhere.
Shadows are a massive frames murderer, i have mine on normal cos i get around 25 frames with it very high, on normal i get 35+
Spoiler:
Not at that res, he's not utilising the max of his SLI configuration. You'd rather the CPU do the rendering with the normal settings?
What about "High" ? Have you tried that? Because as Iroquois points out when it comes to Shadows (somewhat counter-intuitively) many users will experience increases in framerates:
Low: CPU-calculated
Normal: CPU-calculated
High: GPU-calculated
Very High: GPU-calculated
Lo guys, ive recently been playing alot ArmA and a few mods but my Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 just doesnt cut it when theres alot of AI in the mission so ive been looking at the Q9550/Q9650 as a last upgrade for this PC. Will I get a more stable frame rate from the quad core over the dual core cpu? Spec below and ingame gfx settings.
E84000 @ 4.2
Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3LR
Kingston Hyper-X 4GB KIT PC2-8500
Gigabyte GTX 460
Western Digital Black 600
Corsair 650W TX
Samsung 2232 bw
Yes I meant 7200.
There is no CPU information on the overlay, butt he GPU info says that my temperature is between 55-60 at all times, and it is always using 100% of the GPU.
The weird thing is that switching all of the settings to the lowest possible value still doesn't have any kind of performance increase, it still stays at about 22 fps. That just seems ridiculous.
Crank Anisotropic filtering, Object, Terrain, Shadow Quality to V. High, textures High, vid. memory Default, Post-Proc. effects to normal, unless it's your preference for it to be disabled.

If I was looking into a quad, I'd go for i5 2500K; read the previous posts on CPU dependency/bottleneck.
neomatrix248, do the same & disable anti-aliasing. With those rigs you should be playing @ very high.
