Hello, I am using a amd fx8350 4hz cpu with a evga gtx 970 4gb and on arma 3 I get about 18 frames. I upgraded to the gtx 970 after using a radeon 9870 2gb card because I was getting the same frames. After upgrading I am still getting 18 frames. can anyone help?

I assume this is an issue with online play. Arma 3 plays reasonably ok from all that I've heard, but only in single player mode. When you switch to online play, the CPU becomes a HUGE bottleneck, and you have a slow CPU with a lot of unused cores because Arma games do not thread well if at all. You might be able to find a tweak guide for Arma 3 in multiplayer. Otherwise, a faster Intel CPU would help.

A tweak guide definitely is helpful, but DX12 will not help Arma 3 or any current game. DX12 will only help future games built with it, which will primarily only be AAA games, as it is too much work for most dev's to use. DX11.3 will still be used a lot. Intel's advantage will remain an advantage, even when DX12 becomes used.

the reason i was wondering because i have seen benchmarks with my cpu and a lesser card gtx 660 and they would get around 40+ fps. is there something i could have set up wrong?

Benchmarks are almost always done on single player. If the problem is in single player, there may be an issue, but in multiplayer, everything changes and the CPU demand goes up and FPS go way down.

several reasons that could be source of this problem:

- voltage regulation psu not providing required power to gpu/cpu or both and gpu/cpu downclocks.
- temps are too high so gpu/cpu downclocks
- your pc is infected by viruses/malwares

to help you determine your problem i suggest to install hwinfox64 + msi afterburner and check temps/clocks/power loads hwinfo will also show software measured voltage regulation based on mobo sensores, but they are pretty incorrect most of the time.

if you want a proper measurement of voltage regulation you will also need a device, like a DMM hook it on the 12v rail and do a sequential measurement of voltage regulation under load( advanced troubleshooting)
ATX voltage reg table:
Voltage Rail Tolerance Minimum Voltage Maximum Voltage
+3.3VDC ± 5% +3.135 VDC +3.465 VDC
+5VDC ± 5% +4.750 VDC +5.250 VDC
+5VSB ± 5% +4.750 VDC +5.250 VDC
-5VDC ± 10% -4.500 VDC -5.500 VDC
+12VDC ± 5% +11.400 VDC +12.600 VDC
-12VDC ± 10% -10.800 VDC - 13.200 VDC
