AMD FX-8120 with Arma 3 Beta

dustinma324 · Jan 16, 2014

Before i get Arma 3 beta, I want to make sure that my computer can run it at a high FPS.
Also, when running Dayz SA I'm getting FPS Max: 40 Min: 18, how could I increase that?

Specs:
CPU: AMD FX-8120 CPU (8x 3.10GHz/8MB L2 Cache)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti - 2GB
Memory: 8 GB [4 GB X2] DDR3-1600 Memory Module
Resolution: 1920x1080 (1080p)

Thanks,
Dustin

do you have the latest drivers?

what you can also do is give your CPU and GPU some minor overclocks and see if that can give you a few extra frames

I do have the latest driver. I'll give it a minor tweek with the overclocking

thanks

Arma 3 is more CPU heavy, it's probably the FX 8120 that's holding him back, it's a Bulldozer CPU afterall

I would get the best air cooler you can get for the money and overclock. Considering you have a viable MoBo.

Im currently using a liquid CPU cooling system [AMD] - ARC silent high performance fan, i feel like it would hold up right?

lmaonade200 · Jan 17, 2014

oh good, since you're using a liquid cooler give you CPU a strong overclock, taking it up to about 3.6/3.7 Ghz should be no problem, just read up on guides on how to best go about it for best results

I would grab an 8350 and shoot for 4.8+ with liquid. Every little bit helps.
Not really the most ergonomically solution, but it should def. be considered while playing Day Z: SA
But for now practice on that 8120...see if it helps enough.

SA is on a sort of arma 2.5 engine not arma 3, when playing the mod once I was discussing fps in side chat, didnt seem to matter that much which setup or video setting everyone was getting the same fps and fps drops in the same places whether amd, i3, i5, or i7. hmmm

Yea it's server related...It's the same thing with Arma 3.
The extra horsepower does help, but not as much as it should. Just about any CPU is gunna need an overclock for Arma there really isn't much of a frame difference in performance when your talking bottlenecks in the 20's.

If your getting 20 in an area don't expect much more from a more powerful CPU...really no CPU is going to scale preformacen 200% and give anyone 60 FPS.
