It could also be minecraft, some of the updates run better than others. For me 1.8 is very stuttery.

Arma and Minecraft are both very high cpu demanding over gpu. Whereas BO2 is more gpu dependant. Although why you got more before is odd.

Willing to bet that virus protection is bogging your machine down and causing lower fps. Do you have virus protection? If so what is the virus protection (McAfee, Norton, Bitdefender, etc.)?

arma 2 : cpu = 15-19 / ram = 1 gb / gpu (if that means fps ) = 8-30
minecraft : cpu =7-9 / ram = 5 mb / gpu = (if that means fps ) 10 -200

Why are you using 3? I hope not all at the same time?

Stick with one, I would recommend avast. Anti-virus software can use alot of system resources if not used correctly. Also if you have more than one they'll interfere with each other using even more system resources.

Have more that one anti-virus on a machine does not make your more protected. This will cause major performance issues with your system, and the anti-virus will compete against eachother. Uninstall Avast and install bitdefender 2015 (the one I use), and scan your system. You can get a 30 day trial with Bitdefender clean up your system, and after the 30 days if you do not want to pay for Bitdefender you can go back to avast. Auto configure the graphic settings on the game of choice and see if that helps. Were not concerned with graphic detail right now just figuring out what your system is running games and low fps. Get back to me after you have done these steps and let me know how it goes.

Hi low fps in minecraft can also be a problem with java runtime. Update and and try, that worked for me when i was suffering from low fps. And seriously, i have no idea about arma... :|

Yes Java can be the reason for low fps on Minecraft as well, though this won't affect Arma. Try updating or reinstalling Java through the offline option on the Java website the 64bit for your system. Just to elaborate a little more on the post quoted. Also go to google and search 'system requirements lab' download the plugin and see how the game rates for your machine. This website might give you some suggestions to help update or fix an issue with the computer drivers/software.

if at all u are getting display, there is no need to worry about your adapter, any way IGP is not getting used. You do one thing, run ARMA then check your GPU and CPU ussage. If you really think like your resource are not properly used, try a patch for your game. Cz ive heard about similar issues in AC3, when we reach boston, fps will drop down from 60 to 20.
I faced it too, when i was using my NVIDIA GT 520 i was getting 20+ at boston. With my R9 280 I am getting barely 20.

Even if you have a preffy good build, if the application is not using it, its the issue with the appliaction, not with the build.

If your monitor was connected to the onboard graphics then that would be the point? To help in this community we ask questions in hopes that we can further help you. If your monitor was not connected to the installed GPU in question then yes it would very much affect the fps. So now that we have crossed another step off the list lets move forward.

**Hi, this is not a fix**
Bt did you checked you CPU and GPU usage while playing ARMA?? How much is it showing??

And did you changed anything in NVIDIA control panel?? Any override settings?
Or image quality?
Check that tooo..
Choose the option like 'let 3d application decide', I dont exactly remember the setting.. Bt check those too..

i already typed the cpu and gpu , ur lazy to read the whole thread
arma 2 : cpu = 15-19 / ram = 1 gb / gpu (if that means fps ) = 8-30
and i didnt change anything in nvidia control panel , n its : use the 3d application settings

Come on man, we are trying to help you here, show some respect.
And GPU usage is not FPS.
While playing games you can see CPU useage as 15-19%,
Like that you can also see the Load in the GPU, to see that Arma is using all GPU resource.. You can use GPU-Z or the bundled application you go with you GPU.
Its not like im lazy, you mentions GPU as FPS.. There is no use in giving that. I can see than in the question itself man.. :D
