Do you have your monitor plugged into your graphics card?

System specs? I could have sworn Arma only used 1 core

Intel God :

Arma has multiple core usage...as many as you can throw at it actually.

Guest · Jun 26, 2013

so is there a better cpu or other component that will bost it or is there an error in the way i installed it

8350rocks · Jun 26, 2013

Well, for starters, while the FX6100 is a good CPU, to get what you want out of it, you might want to OC.

However, if you are willing to buy a newer CPU, you could easily grab something like the FX 6300/6350/8320/8350, drop it in and reinstall windows, etc.

The 6300 will provide better efficiency, better gaming, and higher clock speeds. If money is not an issue, you might want to look at an 8 core like the 8320 or 8350.

ive gone into bios and looked to make sure there is no integrated graphics enabled, do you think it is being bottle necked?

8350rocks · Jun 26, 2013

If your FPS is around 30-40 in Arma, that's very typical if you're trying to play on high/ultra. You might want to turn settings to medium and see if that alleviates your problem. If it does, Arma is just that demanding.

Guest · Jun 26, 2013

you see thats the thing my radeon hd 7770 got 20 on ultra and the 670 is getting 15-20 at max changing the settings has no affect on it I dont know why

Hakumisoso Terror · Jun 26, 2013

arma 3 is still in beta i doubt it is to be well optimized yet.

8350rocks · Jun 26, 2013

Probably is poorly optimized for the GTX 670 it sounds like, are you using your newest version of drivers?

Guest · Jun 26, 2013

yes, drivers are new , and is my cpu bottlenecking the 670

8350rocks · Jun 26, 2013

No. Your CPU is not bottlenecking the 670. You would have to have a dual core, something like an i3 for that.

Guest · Jun 26, 2013

is 8 gig ddr3 ram good enough i mean i know other people that get 30-40 frames on arma on ultra, i dont know what the problem is

8350rocks :

No, arma 2 and by extension arma 3 ( which uses the same engine with some updates ) is extremely cpu bound and at most uses 2 cores.

8350rocks :

Nope, in this game his cpu IS bottlenecking.

The 6100's extremely weak per core performance + extremely unoptimized code.

Guest · Jun 27, 2013

so would you recommend a good cpu that will be semi future proof, able to run bf3, planteside 2 and other games of that nature on high/ultra settings

maxalge · Jun 27, 2013

download this, run it and post back what it says under mainboard spcifically "manufacturer" and "model".

http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html

That should enable us to look up your motherboards possible cpu upgrades.

Best case scenario you are looking at about 40 - 50fps on ultra with drops when shit hits the fan in game with the better amd cpu's while heavily overclocked.

8350rocks · Jun 28, 2013

At minimum he can go to the FX6300. If his board is a 125W TDP board, then he can go all the way to the 8350.
