ArmA 2 what the hell?

[drkailinium]

I got ArmA recently non pirated on the day of its uk release and have had huge performance issues i am playing all medium with one option high and one low 1680x1050 1600m view and 100% filtrate and im only getting 10 fps?with 13 max i didnt get under 25fps on crysis very high 1680x1050.
specs
Q6600, 4gb ram, 2x8800 GTS 512
what is wrong i have the 1.01 patch installed but it made no difference.

but i should not be that bad espcially under the current settings it looks comparble to cod 2
