Can I run arma 2: OA?

Ozar · Jul 17, 2014

A8-6600k 3.9GHz
8570 (intergrated)
8GB ram
1TB HDD

Can I run arma 2 OA Takistan life? With these specs? What FPS?

Also,

Also if I add a gtx 780 what settings will I get? The CPU is rated good.

im pretty sure that arma2 is largely cpu dependant, and the cpu side of that APU is pretty meager. the game might run, and depending on resolution/setting it may even be playable...but a GTX780 will be massive overkill and i would expect any APU to bottleneck pretty severely on that game title with that video card.
plus, youd likely need a new PSU. that card can draw a pretty good bit of power

that being said, if you had enough PSU for a780 it may be worth buying now and upgrading mobo/cpu later down the road

justaguywithagun :

if i buy a r9 sapphire will it run good with that CPU? Remember i can turn the intergrated off on this CPU and use the r9. so the cpu is good with graphics cards and i have read good reviews

the cpu cores on apus are weak, and would bottleneck a 780 or 290 on cpu-dependant games like arma and skyrim. if you have the budget for either of those gpus id say its best to get a new cpu, mobo, and gpu which would provide better all around performance.

what r9 sapphire are you talking about?

jshoop :

270 r9.

And im using the APU right now and i can smooth ultra settings on skyrim.

And my friend uses a GTX 660 and a A8-6600K and he disabled the intergrated and he can get ultra on BF4.....

So it is a good CPU all together and with the APU turned OFF.

with apu turned off the cores are still somewhat weak. what resolution are you both playing at, and what fps are you getting?

the r9 270 would be about the highest id go with an a8.

jshoop :

What settings would I get with the r9 and CPU?

I'm sure it will be high/ultra it's good man...

jshoop · Jul 18, 2014

probably ultra if your friend can get ultra with the 660. the 270 is better than the 660, by a little bit. you might be able to max out some games.

im guessing your playing at 720p?

jshoop :

My resolution is 1280 x 1024

jshoop · Jul 18, 2014

the 270 can play high settings at 1080p, so it shouldnt have any problem at that resolution, youre good to go

you'll be able to use it in the future if you upgrade to a higher resolution too
