ArmA 3 Performance Thread

Everything maxed out, 2560x1600, view distance of sub 3k, no AA, SMAA Medium ... It's dipping below 60.

Stop It

Perfectly able to grasp the inherent value of the fishing game.
It is an alpha, of a Bohemia game... Optimization typically occurs during the post launch patch phase of the game's development.

Fixed for the reality as evidenced by ArmA/ArmA2. Not that is a bad thing as it means that usually performance gets better post launch but yeah, don't expect miracles for the Alpha.

Still, so long as it works, and doesn't end up accidentally launching a SCUD at people's computers, I'll end up buying it.

So the recommended specs were a joke as suspected? I'll wait for more consistent performance data before buying.

One of the other guys in ST mentioned that this is actually running BETTER than ARMA2 for him. I haven't had a chance to test this yet cos of work >_<

edit: And that's on a laptop.

What are your specs? That res is larger than both of my computer's monitors combined...

I DO NOT FRET
 
I'm really interested to know what it runs like on I7 2600k and Gtx 580 or equivalent at 1080. Getting married in a few weeks so have no money for toys.

If that doesn't run it perfectly fine I'll be super sad

And congratulations!!

Any word of when the invite option will be available? I want to buy the game, but not before I try it to see how well it runs.

When you want to troll, don't make it too obvious. PSX grass amaright?

I laugh every time someone says something not so positive about this game and you are right there to try and 'put them in their place'. You must be a shareholder of some sort because this is beyond just being a fan. Or are you trying to justify to yourself buying 2 Titans?

Anyone running this on a GTX 660? Wondering how well it runs on it.

Take it with a metric shit ton of grains of salt, because i have been just trying it for 15 min on the editor and the first showcase, but performance seems pretty good to me.

I tried with everything on ultra but just 2xAA and 1680x1050 and the default view distances.

I am getting arround 30-40 fps on average, dropping in places like here:

Gonna give this a shot on my laptop tonight. i7-3610QM, GTX 660M, 8GB RAM. I can run Planetside 2 at 1080p at ~30-40 FPS. Will edit and report back.

that performance is going to take a hit when you have a firefight with large scale AI

His last screenshot is nice too. A picture doesn't have to express vibrant colours to look nice.

Don't bother with him, he's just a petty troll desperate for a reaction. He hasn't even added anything to the ArmA threads - Thank god for ignore.

But any way, still disappointed with the initial performance. Looking straight into a hill has my FPS fluctuating around 50-60FPS, it has a hard time keeping 60 unless I look straight down.

Agreed, but it should show of more than 80% sky, 19% grassy hill that looks the same everywhere. I was genuinely asking what was so special about that screenshot but instead of just answering he went into the defensive because he seems to do that whenever someone doesn't like something about this game.

The game is only out for a couple of hours and I gave my thoughts on the screenshots. Unless the only thing that's 'adding' in your book is slimeballing a game like you made it yourself, then yes, I did not contribute. I just said the grass looked like shit and you got your panties in a twist. This just pretty much proves my point. How sad.

You didn't really have to ask though did you? If you don't like a screenshot then wait for more.
