BlackShot Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) So, basically, I found out a way to get more FPS in prison by adjusting a few video settings in Arma 3. Those are pretty simple and might actually give you more FPS overall. I hope they work for you.1. Set your Objects setting to Low2. Set your Shadow setting to Disabled, as well as your Shadow distance to 503. Turn yourself in to a bounty hunter or to a money-hungry cop and test your new settings. Please let me know if you were successful or not. I particularly went from around 20~30 FPS to 40~50. Since prison seems to have a lot of objects, those new settings might help you increase your frames. Edited February 1, 2017 by BlackShot ILegend, FudgeR, Metz and 5 others like this Link to comment

It's not a solution, it's a workaround 2. It might work for bank since it gives you better FPS overall, but the main idea is to work for prison (I particularly don't have any problems with banks) 3. You don't need to change your video settings every time you do a prison/bank/whatever 4. Feel free to share a better solution yourself if you're so displeased Edited December 19, 2017 by BlackShot Mr. Linux, Kettles, FudgeR and 1 other like this Link to comment

I feel like you're only complaining because if people actually get their FPS fixed in there, it's one less thing to argue about changing the prison. If you are mad at how the new prison looks like, you're missing the point of this topic. Should throw your anger somewhere else, bud. It's only a guide. Kettles likes this Link to comment

Haha, those are NVIDIA's settings for Arma 3, but I guess I never bothered changing them. 8GB only, but low impact on FPS. 1 hour ago, Scott said: Those are my normal video settings.

Björn Winsmore Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 This is common sense... Well obvs u would get more fps by lowering settings... Then shadows at disabled putting shadow distance lower doesnt do shit Link to comment
no time to die Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Im preety sure the way that Arma works, the higher the settings are the more hardware the game utilizes. For example, if you have all your settings on the lowest that they can be then the game will only use CPU. If you have a mix between High and Medium it uses GPU and CPU. Still not at their full potential but it uses GPU and CPU depending on your settings. Also overlocking your CPU and GPU helps alot. Usually all GPU's have a good enough Cooling System that can support a bit of overclocking. And on the other hand CPU's just need a goodish to good Air Cooler thats like £10-£15 around 13$-20$ and you can easily overclock your CPU to its max. I got a AMD 8350 with a 120MM fan on a Medium Sized heatsink and its around 4.5Ghz and under load around 80C. Intel wont need as much cooling because they mainly have better chipsets, but anyway. Your settings dont have to be on low. Just try to get a perfect mix between Med and High settings. Link to comment
