So I have been playing ARMA 3 recently and I would like to max out all of my graphics settings. Everything is set to the highest setting other than my render/view distances. These settings include "overall", "object", and "shadow".
With all settings on ultra and the rendering set to the default values my fps usually hovers around 27-30 (which seems low for my machine). When I attempt to increase the rendering distances I experience massive fps drops (usually down to about 19-22 fps).
I have been monitoring my GPU/CPU usage and it seems that neither my GPU or CPU is struggling. I can't remember my CPU usage exactly, but it was nowhere near maxed out (which I wouldn't expect anyway since I know the game is more reliant on the GPU). My GPU hovers around 46% usage with ultra settings and default rendering distances. It increases to (and stays around) about 52% usage with rendering distance maxed out. Sometimes it jumps to around 70% and other times drops and stays around 38%.
All of my temps seem fine (CPU 34 degrees / GPU 55 degrees)
I know it sounds picky to want all of the settings 100% maxed out, but I feel like I might as well try for it.
What could be causing these FPS problem? Many Thanks!
