I have a i7 3770 Non k 3.4 GhZ CPU along with a
Asrock z77 extreme 4
2x4 gskill sniper ram
Powercolor 2gb HD7870 GhZ Edition OC'D

When i try to play ArmA 2 i only get 45 frames and when i go near cities i get 10-20.

What's wrong????

try turn of/turn down anti-alias.
This should give you a higher framerate outcome.

meepwnd · Jan 27, 2014

That doesn't work.

whitecat · Jan 27, 2014

your processor is strong enough , so it cant bottleneck the videocard.

meepwnd · Jan 27, 2014

whitecat :

So why am i getting terrible frames?

barto · Jan 27, 2014

What settings are you playing at? Like whitecat said, your PC is powerful enough to play this game very well.

vmN · Jan 27, 2014

meepwnd :

Please list your PSU.
Might be something running in the back forcing the game to use less resources which can cause frameratedrops.
There can be hundreds of reason.

barto :

Running on normal with most settings turned off.

Thermaltake gold cert 750 PSU modular.

meepwnd :

possible reasons : overheating , psu watts are not enough , the video card is weak for the game

vmN · Jan 27, 2014

whitecat :

It shouldn't overheat, he got a 750w +80 gold which is way more than enough, and the GPU should be able to handle it at ultra.
My bets is currently that something is running in the background using resources.

I am under 50c for CPU and GPU

HD 7870 DDR5 2GB OC'D Powecolor Raedon chipset Its supposed to run farcry 3

Mr Dobing · Jan 27, 2014

Its your GPU but mainly the Arma 2 game engine. It performs bad an high end systems. I'm playing dayz SA on my rig (see sig) and I get similar frames.

This review suggests otherwise:

You should be breezing through this game at high image quality. Can you check your GPU utilization with GPU-Z when playing the game?

Murissokah :

So should i buy a new GPU?

vmN · Jan 27, 2014

meepwnd :

No, your GPU should be able to handle it on ultra.

whitecat · Jan 27, 2014

meepwnd :

download and test .Compare the result of .your videocard and other HD 7870

GPU-Z

Just for fun, crank up the settings. As Mr Dobing said, it's not uncommon for older games to play bad on high end/newer hardware.

meepwnd · Jan 27, 2014

barto :

I drop more frames when doing this.

Updating drivers from stock, seeing if that helps.

whitecat · Jan 27, 2014

turn off steam

meepwnd · Jan 28, 2014

Well i actually downgraded my driver to 13.11 9.5 and that seemed to actually fix the problem i am now like 30-40 in cherno.
