USCCHRIS Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) Processor: Phenom II X4 965 (3.4 GHz) Ram: 5 GB Kingston DDR3 1333 MHz @ CL11 Video Card: Asus GTX 970 Strix Resolution: 1400 x 1050 I've recently upgraded my video card from a 560 to a 970, yet my frame rate has remained the same in game. Normally I get anywhere from 15-30 fps, while in a benchmark I get almost 100 frames. What suggestions can you give me to help make my frame rate better?

TheCrestedPenguin Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 more ram....even my shitty pc had more. thats all i know Link to comment
Jaylen Sarrett Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) that's some dooky ram you got, 1600mhz and 8 gigs at the least (yes i know arma only uses 4 but windows needs some memory to) a better cpu would do you well too.. though, i can't say much i got amd fx6300 6 core 4.0ghz gtx 660 2gb but i got 8 gigs of ddr3 1600 i get 30 fps in pyrgos, 45 outside of the cities, 40 in athira, and anywhere from 15-30 in kavala (usually on the lower side) Edited June 4, 2016 by Jaylen Sarrett Link to comment
Jaylen Sarrett Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 btw, what kind of resolution is that? What kinda monitor do you have? Link to comment
Sentinel Diesel Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 how do you get 5 gigs of ram... like 1- 2gb stick and 3- 1gb stick... I've never seen an odd combination before like that lol Cassettes likes this Link to comment
Crossfade Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 AMD FX-8350 MSI 970A-G43 (MS-7693) 32.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 859MHz 4096MB ATI AMD Radeon R9 200 Series (MSI) i get about 35-40 fps in towns. 50+ our of towns, mid fight with all the gunfire it tends to go about 25-30 in towns, 40+ out of towns.

Raptor -JTRP Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Well I have an i5 6600k OCed to 4.4 ghz a gtx 970 super clocked and overclocked 16 gigs of hyperx black OCed to 2500 MHz (upgrading to 32 in quad channel) and I get 60-80 fps maxed out at 1080p out side of town inside of kavala when 100 people on about 40-50 Link to comment
Raptor -JTRP Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Also you have a HUGE CPU and RAM bottle neck when you upgrade one upgrade the other I would recommend a new mobo and a 6600k with ddr4 Link to comment

Yep get some more ram that would definitely help. And if you wanna get it to next lvl then get a at lest a Intel i5 4690k. As far as i know you can get MB and cpu for 300$ Here is mine. Intel i5 4690k ( running at 4.4 overclock) 16 GB ripjaws ram 1866mhz EVGA 980 acx. ( Running at 1170 MHz Base Clock 1416 MHz Boost Clock overclocked) Resolution is 1920/1080 I get around solid 70fps almost everywhere. As far I know about arma and pc its your cpu that holding back your frams. Link to comment

Gatorade Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) A. Optimize your game - will improve it atleast 5-10 fps alone B. Choose the correct settings, low isn;'t always the best option C. You need more RAM. You are using nearly 1-2 gigs of ram for your Operating system alone , that leaves you less then the recommended 4 dedicated gigs of ram for the game it self not to mention the teamspeak in your background. Side notes this is hard to believe but your CPU isn't holding you back that much. Arma just like most games is coded in a 2 core specifications. It does not perform better with more cores. 3.4 is what most i5 mid tier CPU;s come as original clock and should be getting you around 40 outside of town and 20 in with decent settings. With that being said you do not have a future proof computer by any means and need to get just about a whole new machine eventually. Things to Optimize: 1. Your CFG Files 2. Your parameters 3. Your Launcher Settings 4. Your ingame settings 5. Your NVIDEA geforce control panel settings 6. Your Power Settings 7. LAST CHANCE if neccisary you can alter the performance at which your CPU regards the task i.e High performance. This will eventually kill the life of your CPU but it could give you proper frames till you purchase the new one. 8. Download Razer Cortex Game Booster and close out some extra things allocating more RAM for the mean time. 9. Play on full screen / Full screen window if you are not 10. Close out anti virus / any recording software you might have running in the background 11. Close out skype and the internet 12. Close out steam over lay / Steam messages / Steam Friends List 13. Close out arma launcher Edited June 4, 2016 by Sugarfoot USCCHRIS likes this Link to comment

Even with phase change cooling, the highest clock speed is 4.4. The stock speed of this CPU is 3.0. you are telling me you are getting an extra 2.4ghz. Lets see a screenshot of your bios Edited June 4, 2016 by TheRealLethal Link to comment

I will grab you a SC. There's loads on super-clocking the processor. 40 minutes ago, TheRealLethal said: nice meme dude, no possible way you are getting 5.4Ghz.

Robbo Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Here's another question for people, I am pretty good at building but when it comes to windows and diagnosing things meh maybe not that great.. Since I built this machine, I can play arma no problems, for 20 hours if I wish with no temp rises, or anything. If I play a game which is a bit graphically intense which arma really isn't lets say BF4 on the specs above, I can only play maybe a hour and a bit and I get this PC crash. https://gyazo.com/548ada9247a5b842a9cbd219f3aec55c That is a SC from the event viewer, I have spoken to a few people about it, but I can't quite grasp why its crashing. Microsoft are idiots when giving out BugCheckCodes so I did the usual google etc. Most people are saying its something to do with over heating. I know this might be possible with the shit I run or maybe the OC is too high, I am not too sure. Has anyone else experienced this type of crash before and does anyone have any solutions? Thought since we all geeking out about PC's someone might have a idea. Link to comment

ANd btw, i did google, In linus's testing, he found that the max safe OC was around 4.4-4.5 Robbo likes this Link to comment
