Okay so start with rig:
Got a g45z77 mobo running an i5 3570k standard clock with a 850watt corsair psu 1tb caviar hdd gtx 780ti Asus oc version.

When I first got the gpu I was literally running maxed out at about 45 fps. And that was everything up, I've been off the pc for a while working two jobs so I've had no time really. I logged into steam updated a load of games arma being one of which and popped it on. I played the new 'fixed wing' scenario with the new warthog and was getting 20fps max on ultra and when I cracked it all down it went to about 70 fps... Until I moved then it went down to 20 again. Is there a reason for this?

Have I broke my gpu cos every other games runs sulky fps. I ran bf4 crisis 3 and dirt 3to see if it was my rig and I got 70/80 on bf 50/65 on crisis and 140+ on dirt... Has the arma engine been fudged in an update or something?

Your hardware is fine or you'd be having issues with the other games.

I'm not sure what your issue is for Arma III, but you can try verifying (if Steam), or dropping the quality settings. I recommend you play at a mostly solid 60FPS using Adaptive VSync (tweak a couple settings to stay at 60FPS about 90% of the time).

*You said ARMA III got updated and now you have issues. That coupled with the hardware working fine suggests an issue with the game, probably done in the update.
