How to 60fps

[Jumpman Jordan]

People who get 50-60fps in a crowded towns, what's in your PC? Or is it not possible

[Jumpman Jordan]

Either way i still need a processor upgrade. Any recommendations?

[Jumpman Jordan]

Its crazy expensive though. Could buy another GPU for that price.

Any AMD users here? would an FX-6300 overclock work with similar performance?

EDIT: Or maybe an FX-4300 since quad core is really all you need for this game correct?

i run a i5-6600k with gtx 1070 with 16gigs of ram. I have a hyper 212 evo and my processor runs at 3.5ghz. When i am in the middle of nowhere i get around 100 fps. When i am in crowded towns it drops down to like 50-60. At cartels i get around 70-80 which usually drops to 60 if people pop a bunch of ifrit smokes. I would definitely recommend the i5-6600k i dont really think you need a 6700k because i have alot of friends running on 6700ks and gtx 1070s and i get the same performance as them. I havent really looked into kaby lake but im sure its better than skylake in someway since its a newer generation of processors so the i5-7600k and i7-7700k will probably run good. I suggest you make sure you stick to intel when you upgrade amd just doesnt do it on arma from my experiences with it. Im pretty sure I have a friend im not sure who it is but they run 60fps on a i3 6100 and a gtx 1050ti.

Im running a GTX 1070, 4770k and 16gb ram. The 64-bit update now gives me constant 60-70fps everywhere, before i would have around 30-50.

Rip I have a 750 ti with an Amd fx 8350

I'm also running the FX-6300, it's too old to be able to give you 60FPS in towns, I never even get 60 except maybe in the salt fields with view distance set to low. I bought a new GPU not too long ago and upgraded from the 750 ti to the 960 4GB to help me game for other games but it didn't do anything for Arma as I expected.

Similar to Jwilly.  i5-6600k ; GTX 970 ; 16gb of ram and my cpu runs 3.5ghz. 

I have very custom settings which I feel make the game look pretty good and still give me decent if not great frames.  

In cities other than kavala, I get like 50-70 frames, if theres not 25 people in those areas blowing up shit or pulling tons of cars. In most places such as cartels or along the roads I get about 90-120 fps.

 

I saw you mention an AMD cpu. 

If at any cost you can avoid it. Do. AMD cpus and Arma don't go well together. I'd go for an intel build

I used to run an AMD 8370 @ 4.3 GHz and it was terrible.
On a good day at a cartel, I ran 40 fps, towns were like 25 fps. 
Note: The 8370 is better than the 6300, so you wont get much out of the 6300.. So I advise you don't get it.

I believe Arma is CPU based and not GPU based.

Since GPU barely matters, I'll just go for a 1050ti.

Yep, it's likely that you wont see a difference on Arma 3 when you switch GPUs, unless you're going from like a GTX 750 to a GTX 1080.

Get a i5 intel... Amd sucks any for arma 3 performance or the new ones.

[Manolo]

it all depends on the resolution.

1080p

1440

4k

 

[Axe]

I refuse to believe any of this... 

My computer stomps most of these and it runs likes it being powered by a hamster. Arma performance is RNG  

[friendlypilot]

you have potato pcs , buy intel and nvidia problem solved

if you dont wanna spend alot of money on it and you want a processor that good for the future look for the amd ryzen(recommend the 1700)

I would still recommend the adm ryzen cause price/performance is just the best atm. Definitly if you look more into the future where games will be multithreaded. And oh dont go for the FX-6300. Basically all the amd processors before the ryzen are rather bad

Could try razor game booster that helped me on Tanoa when it was popular

You don't need to buy a good computer to get 50-60 fps. If you just throw your personal computer device out your window that should do the trick.

Just convert Arma 3 to a playstation game and im suuuuuure you would get steady 60 fps highest settings

[Gatorade]

I have like an i5 4660k over clocked to 3.6 very cheap, and a gtx 760 also cheap.

 

I get 65 everywhere , you should make sure you have an ssd first and foremost to keep fpa stable in cities and tweak your game settings , parameters , cfgs, ando generic boost settings on your pc

[HomeTrlx]

I have a i-6700k gtx 1070 and 16gb ram. It's pretty good.

Edited March 27, 2017 by HomeTrlx

[Mutiny]

CPU - I5 6600K

GPU - Radeon R9 480 8gb

16gb of RAM 

I typically get 50-60 FPS in cities and Fights at cartels. 

The R9 480 is pretty good for a budget card as it's only 280.

There are of course other opinions however I'm satisfied.

Get a decent CPU, decent speed RAM, GPU won't matter as much... could go GPUless and use several custom FPGAs to work in tandem with your CPU's.. that's what I do.
