Spec's + Performance

[Ablack77]

Be interested to see what sort of specs ppl are using and what sort of performance they're getting on ARMA.
It seems that even if you've got a super computer you don't seem to get much more than 35 fps
(luckily the human eye can't distinguish anything over 24 fps) :blink:

My specs:
Pent. 4, 2.8ghz
2gb RAM
Nvidia 7600gt agp

fps using fraps:
Usually sits between about 30-15

Most settings are on low or norm, no AA, no AF

[Lucid Nightmare]

AMD 3200+
2gb ram
Radeon 9600xt

Everything on low/off except for terrain detail which is at normal.

I'd guess between 20-30 fps on average.

[Amril]

as per sig
got about 80+ when I played that campfest at a lan once

[Tubby]

MMM, I got an old P4 3ghz, 1.5gb RAM and a 6800GS and fraps tells me I get anything up to 80fps....usually sits between 60-70fps

Opps Sorry. Didnt read that bit.

[Uncle_Darth]

AMD 3800 X2 CPU (939 socket)
2 Gb ram DDR400 4x512 in matched pairs
300gb sata hhd
X-Fi sound card
XFX 7800GT oc graphics
Win XP + sp2

i get around 25-30 FPS
Have performed some minor ingame tweeks to get better response.
Some settings high, some low and most medium.

That FPS is very playable for this type of game due to it being alot slower and more tactical than PR

[Lucid Nightmare]

New computer for me by the end of next week. No crappy graphics for me!

[daveee]

3800+ x2 @ 2.3ghz
2gb ram
800gb~ of hdd space

other things that make the computer work
a mouse and keyboard

everything on high, 40-50

[Porridge]

Wow a 3800+ with an 8800GTS :S that must be interesting especially a socket 939. Lucid I don't know with your setup wether to go mental or not :P I could go Quad Core and Dual SLI? ttyl on msn.

I only got ArmA Demo, but on this with Fraps I get 70+

E6600 (Overlocked it to a stable 3.5Ghz from its default 2.4Ghz on stock cooling! DAM AWESOME :D)

[Ablack77]

I imagine your talking about SP ???

Sorry I should have specified that I meant MP!

You usually get more fps in SP, it's MP that tests out your comp.

Not really interesting. Sure there is a bottleneck but I don't really play many games that are CPU intensive so it goes together quite nicely and I can run everything on high and get good frames.

Pretty well suited components for the few games I do play.

[bigbossmatt]

(luckily the human eye can't distinguish anything over 24 fps) :blink:


We can perceive blinking of an led light up to around 60fps at that time it becomes perceived as a constant light. That is why I turn monitor refresh rates to the option above 60Hz (ie to 75Hz) but after that you aren't getting any benefit in terms of what you perceive, its all smooth after you pass the threshold + a bit of leeway.

http://www.100fps.com/how_many_frames_can_ humans_see.htm

[Lucid Nightmare]

It's 24fps in movies and whatnot because they have motion blur. Games do not. Nor does a blinking led.

[-=Delta723=-]

these are my specs:

Galaxy 8800gt 512mb
Amd x2 4800+ (2.5ghz)
2gb ddr2 ram 800mhz

And i get around 40-70 fps on all on high in single player and in multiplayer i get a rediculous 15-25 on high, sometimes it drops to 9 fps in a city online.

Not really meant to be an e-peen stroking type thread about what specs you have, was more for interest sake of how your specs related to the performance you get in ARMA (not PR)

[James_Patterson]

Any guess on how many FPS I will get if I play ARMA?

Rig in Sig.

You pick the one that's quota free :)

[Captain_Wolf]

Should run quite well. Though your CPU is probably your weakest link and ArmA is quite CPU intensive.

[Fallen.]

probably about 40-50 fps at 1280 x 1024 med to high settings.

:hi:

[James_Patterson]

Cheers all, I'll download the demo if I get the chance.

[Shady]

Ok be prepared for my mind blowing rig....

Pentium 4 2.66 ghz
Nvidia Geforce 6200
1 GB ram
38 GB HDD





It brings shame on me....

[pogoman]

lol ^^. reminds me of the days when i tried to play bf2 with the nvidia 5600xt. tried and failed heh

[Shady]

Because you guys know so much more about good pc's than me....

quick look at static ice for prices of components:

Intel Q6600 QUAD CORE 2.4Ghz 195
Generic Nvidia 9600GT 119
Gigabyte GA-EP31-DS3L 82
4GB KIT 800MHz 92
SAMSUNG 20x DVD Burner BLACK SATA 27
Western Digital W.D. WD 640GB SATA II 94
Thermaltake Soprano Case, Black, with Window, 430W PSU 118
Total $727*

not including any delivery costs if necessary.

My suggestion - if you are confident that you can build it yourself (and it doesn't take much nouse) check out the whirlpool forums recommended builds for your budget.

[Shady]

wow I could save a lot of money.....
But i Don't trust myself to build it at all, and i wanted something already made and ready to go.
Also if i buy it in pieces i have to buy an OS as well...

[champsky]

**** mine cost me 3k

[Shady]

yet you still lag on Quin ling....

[Noddy]

not sure that PC you referenced has an OS - certainly didn't see one mentioned.

have you only got an oem version of windows on your existing box?

[Bahlye]

AMD Alhlon(tm)64X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+
4 gig Transcend DDR2
8600gt
Trendy Black case
500gb sata HDD.


Runs like a dream 100fps on all maps..(A bit laggy in Qinling in the choppers..but that them and can be avoided..;))

built it myself.
$780...with parts that were in stock at the time at my local nerd toy shop.

:)


But then again the old one(nearly as shaby as Shady's...)ran the Arma demo fine..

[champsky]

yet you still lag on Quin ling....

sometimes , any idea what could cause that , graphics card maybe ?

ran the arma demo like a dream

its funny though because the gsa server seemss to be the only one i lag on

[Bahlye]

Could be card related..
What background programs do you have running while PRing?.

I use "end it all " to close/kill unneeded background tasks..

http://www.docsdownloads.co m/enditall-1.htm

[champsky]

i never have anything running in background but i do have vista so anything is possible

im thinking packet loss could be the cause , man i despise pb

[Bahlye]

Vista has ****loads of processes running usually....way more than XP..
Check your processes (task manager) without pr running,and with..?,

It'll tell you your CP usage (%)as well.

DFI nf4 SLI-DR motherboard
2gb OCZ platinum series

hangs at around 20 fps with everything on low and basic AA/AF. Also on 1280x1024 - on a 24" it's really crap :(

[Captain_Wolf]

SmoovDogg the full and patched version of ArmA runs about 300 times better than the demo.

Your flaw being you cant run any pre 1.12v on arma as it cant handle over 3gb ram... I found out that the hard way.. I just get my computer to boot up with 3gb ram on msconfig.exe

Why would you need to run anything but 1.14?

pfftt... your loss. arma without multiplayer is crap

[ACC1]

pfftt... your loss. arma without multiplayer is crap

I dont play games that arent multi lol.

Unless they are extremely good and in depth without flaws.. I cant count more then a handfull of games...

And I they usualy dont last long till im over it!

Edit, Just hosted a game of ARMA - jailbreak on my pc and had 6 or 7 guys jump in with me.. Went well!

[Alithian.mac.au]

15.4" Macbook Pro:
2.2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo

[EvilRooter]

Are any of you ARMA guys besides ACC1 running VISTA 64 with more than 3 gigs ram?

Just finished doing my upgrade and ARMA is not happy.

Apparently it doesn't like VISTA64 with more than 3gb RAM..

I can use msconfig to get back to 3gb but that's just not cricket. Anyone else experience this? How did you get around it?

[Bigsmokeee]

yeah im runnin arma on 64x vista with 4gb ram. runs fine for me you need to patch up too 1.14 tho im sure

[Psyrus]

I can use msconfig to get back to 3gb but that's just not cricket. Anyone else experience this? How did you get around it?
For me I just had to startup with 3GB once, put the 1.14 patch on, start up a game, load in, quit out, restart in 4GB mode and it should be fine. It runs just fine on my x64 Vista ult & my server 2003 versions, both with 4gb ram.

OK thanks Psyrus,, so you think it would be best to start up in 3bg mode before patch to 1.14 ...then patch up 1.14 and run in normal with 8gig...

Fingers crossed thanks...will try tonight

[Captain_Wolf]

...run in normal with 8gig...

Thats very interesting i am stuck in windowed mode to use 4GB

[Gu^n3r]

lol im still runnin the old single core Pentium 4 :D

10fps ftw!

I am also with you SNR..running windowed or in 3gb setup..if only i could have Psyrus's config....whats your fav Psyrus? :P

[Gu^n3r]

i just realised u guys sound likes girls talking about their favorite dress or outfit...


creepy....

[EvilRooter]

Ewww stop it..dirty boy!

[Gu^n3r]

some one call a doctor... because ur tastes in fashion are sickening!

:P

ive totally lost my sanity today, must be this heat...HOT!!!!!!!!!!

[Psyrus]

I am also with you SNR..running windowed or in 3gb setup..if only i could have Psyrus's config....whats your fav Psyrus? :P
Did you try my way?

Also, it's been ages since I installed the game... does it ordinarily require a cd to be in the drive? I have a feeling I may be using a cracked exe which doesn't require the cd and perhaps... doesn't suffer the same issues as the regular game? I seem to recall being at this page before:
http://www.megagames.com/cracks/html/c922390_0.htm

But anyway, yeah I dunno. Btw what's a fav?
http://www.tomtownsend-toyland.com/toyland/FAV1.JPG

now why couldnt BF2 have DPVs like that?

[EvilRooter]

Ahh sounds like you got lucky..

the FAV....I missed the word...BEER..

Ahh sounds like you got lucky..

the FAV....I missed the word...BEER..
Favorite beer = the one that I don't have to go near. Can't stand the stuff :) It's an *acquired taste*, or so they tell me. Blaugh.

Anyway, is your ARMA directory in your Program files or your Program Files (x86)?

Be interested to see what sort of specs ppl are using and what sort of performance they're getting on ARMA.

The idea of this thread was to see what sort of performance your getting on ARMA
Its weird sometimes a sooped-up PC doesn't get the best fps :confused:

So what sort of fps you getting Pill?

Guess I should up date my pc and performance:

Yeah that is odd could be because of vista or something i dont know =/

[(ironchef)spook*AUS*]

20 -25 FPS

Gigabyte GTX260OC 896mb
4gig 800mhz RAM (3.25 rec by windows)
32 bit XP
Gigabyte K8N Pro Sli mobo

I think my CPU is letting me down. An investment of around $400 in the new year will fix that with new CPU, MOBO and RAM.

I cant see that happening in big games, in forests etc. with a decent VD.

Edit,

Yeah I have zero problems with arma 2 (demo) on an ATI card. No CTD's with a stable 40+ FPS

As I suspected, a more realistic number you posted In a different thread.. Big variation in those numbers for some reason. Get confused or something?



lol..

[Bigsmokeee]

maybe this threads about arma not arma2 and the difference in fps he''s getting are because a) thats what fps he's getting in arma1 b) hes confused

[ACC1]

comon' smoke you know im always right and you never question me..
lol

It could be arma1.

Tho even 80 in arma 1 is a bit high.

Anywhodillyo why are people still playing arma1? :p

Then I wonder why the black is playing to? arma 1 or 2

From now one everyones gonna have to mention or make it clear what arma it is they are talking about lol

[BL4CK1E]

Then I wonder what the black is playing to? arma 1 or 2



I was talking about arma 1
Arma 2 i only get like 20-40 fps

[Kushluk]

I think there are 3 of us here giving specs for 3 different games lol

[BL4CK1E]

Lol im confused:blowup:

[Daffan]

arma 2 LOL

Specs..

E8500 overclocked to 4.0ghz
HD4850 overclocked...
4gigs of ram
vista 64 32 bit (ewh)

custom cooling loads of other stuff
1920x1080, everything "very high" including shadows and AF...
3916meters on view distance, any higher and my very high on texture details or something goes to high (Impossible to select very high anymore)
with low on anti-aliasing ( normal/high) doesnt change anything and makes fps lower atm.
Post-Processing is turned off because bloom and motion blur kind of suck, the end.


in about 40 minutes i'm going to be hard-wiring my new HD4890 overclock and overclock some more


oh and about 40-50 fps currently in action

will update with new GPU specs soonish.

[S.O.P]

How much RAM on the 4850?

[Rx]

People should be posting screen resolution as well. FPS means nothing without a res to go along with it.

I posted mine, 1920x1080 (full hd 24")

How much RAM on the 4850?

512MB and 4890 is 1 gig..

And i just played arma 2 now, I think for the little while i tested it i was getting probally a alright increase.

[S.O.P]

Crazy then, 4850 512 with 1920 is pretty large. I wouldn't, with my 512 4850, even try that, I usually keep it to 1650.

Does the overclocking make any difference, as in, have you actually tried it OC'd and not?

[EvilRooter]

OCing CPU make a big difference to my machine.

[householddog]

One major slowdown is the HDD.

If you have a second hard drive then you can move some of the files to that drive and speed it up a bit.

[S.O.P]

Should of iterated, does overclocking the GPU have any difference?

My 4850 ran 1920x1080 over 1650x1080 essentialy the same fps. It was overclocked. I my 4890 is also overclocked massively ( from 850MHZ to 1000 on the gpu not memory)

I just played my 1st game on it...need to raise the desk a few inches now...for personal reasons.

Could the thread title be moderated to say:

ARMA1 Spec's + Performance

And then a ARMA2 specs & performance thread created?

just drill a strategically placed hole

its easier

[Chalice]

LOL..great idea

[Pill Monster]

A drill. That's it?

[jamtheman_m]

A drill. That's it?

You would need one hell of a drill bit, now that I think about it.

Pretty random 3d resolution, why not bump it to your native 1680x1050?

hmm, you should be able to squeeze alot more out of that machine on ARMA 2, well atleast i did. (w/overclocking)

[bigbossmatt]

i dont even know what the 3d resolution does. i turned it down at some point because im not using it and i didnt want it to use resources.

also, my native is 1680x1050

[Bigsmokeee]

the 3d res.. is the actual game's res the other is interface.
