Default [FS] 3D Performance with ARMA II Demo
Quote:
If you’ve grown tired of the fast-paced yet linear style of military shooters like Call of Duty 4 and want to step up to something more realistic with more open world exploration, Bohemia Interactive's latest tactical simulation, ARMA II is a compelling alternative. Just be prepared to spend an hour or two getting familiar with the game’s controls: when we say this game is a sim, we mean it. If you’re the type who misses the days when sims from companies like Microprose, Spectrum Holobyte, and Jane’s Longbow series were the norm rather than the exception, you’ll feel right at home with ARMA II (with the only omission being the 200-page manuals that shipped with the aforementioned games).

Hm, I wonder how my system with a Q6600 and GTX 280 will perform at 1680x1050. The GTX 280 seemed to do fine with the i7-965, but when they ran the Very High tests using the Q8400 it kinda struggled with 24fps. I'm assuming my OC to 3.4Ghz will help some, but I'm not sure how much.

What do you guys think?

Some are reporting that an overclock yielded them a 10FPS gain. Sanders reported results that differ from the findings. Again this game is highly unoptimized and I recommend waiting for a slew of patches to address current issues with performance.

Not even close.



You'd be lucky to break 5 fps with settings like that in crysis.

No tests with dual-core chips? It'd be nice to see how truly multi-threaded this game is for comparison.

I just HATE the mouse smoothing/acceleration. And I have no idea how to disable it. Being a competitive CS:S player, this is just way too disorienting for me.
