This has got to be the worst game hands down I've ever encountered or even bothered trying to play.

System Specs:
Core i7 950 @ 4ghz
Diamond hd Radeon 7970 3GB @ 1125/1575 overclock
Corsair 750TX
GIGABYTE x58a-ud3r mobo
12 gigs triple channel 1600mhz g.skill sniper memory.

and a whopping 20 fps on arma 3 on all settings regardless of how I tweak it, this game really does just suck. Don't ever waste your money on such junk. Can't even play it because it doesn't even run to begin with. If I could refund this it I gladly would.

Damn look at that hot gpu usage in main menu with those godly settings!!

Such good game glad I can't even play it on the lowest settings it has to offer.

Any other games works perfectly fine, 75-160 fps on bf4 ultra 1920x1080p at all times..

The sad thing is that I meet poorly optimized games more and more now than ever before. I started playing Karateka on a 8-bit PC in 1986 and been gaming ever since but the last couple of years companies have managed to spawn more unoptimized games than for the last 25 -30 years.

This is Arma 3 for you. A terrible, rushed and poorly optimised game. They obviously didn't learn from the mistakes in Arma 2. Basically, it's so poor because the engine renders someone who is 2000m away behind a house in full 3D at full quality. This is because Bohemia are not the most experienced of programmers, and their fame/popularity is now mostly based on DayZ. I was hoping for something far better than Arma 3 with all the funds and popularity they gained.

Although this isn't a discussion, i thought i would discuss this ;)
Standalone actually runs far better than any other ArmA game, and this month they have a brilliant plan that will make it run perfectly, with the new multiplayer client to server messaging system.

Wow, didn't know they improved it. I better give it a try! Last time I checked everyone was complaining about how poorly optimized it was just like Arma 3 I believe or maybe it was the lack of content. I may be mistaken!

Lack of content, and lack of players per server. However as i mentioned, the player count per server will increase as they've found a solution to server instability and crashing. will be around 125 players per server. Atm though, very boring, not much human encounter and nothing to do when fully geared, which only takes about an hour.

Nope doesn't even make this thing begin to start working, sits around 20% usage.
