Hi Tom's Hardware :)

I will soon be purchasing Arma 3 but will most definitely need a new video card to go with it. The current hardware I have is an AMD Phenom II x4 910 Processor @ 2.6 GHz (the requirements say this is enough, is that true for good performance?) and an ATI Radeon HD 4350 (Definitely not good enough for Arma so I've heard...). So I'm thinking about keeping the CPU if that works and getting a new (or new-ish) GPU... Recommendations?

Thanks in advance :)

Hm that's a tough mix. I don't think anything in that budget will play Arma 3 very well at good settings. If you can get in the $200 to $300 range you have some nice choices: GTX 760 or R9 280X. If you really can't afford it, try going with the Radeon R9 270. That should come out under $200 and may do the trick for you.

For the GPU probably at least under $200. Resolution probably 1680 x 1050 or similar. Framerate hoping 40+ ?
