CPU GPU Usage

[dbeast24]

So i just recently started looking at how much arma utilized my hardware and i noticed when playng on king of the hill in about an 80-90 player server that my GPU and CPU usage stays around 40-50 for my CPU and 50-60 GPU on max settings. Whenever im at the base on KOTH my GPU usage is at 99-100 with 60-70 FPS but when i go into the battle area it drops back down to 50 and my FPS takes an hit. I know the arma engine is weird so im wondering is that normal or is something not right? my current specs are i5 4440, GTX 960 SC, 8 GB of ram, view and object distance at 1000 each . Another question is will the 4690K i got coming in next week help this problem any? Any info would be highly appriciated

Hey, I got:
i5 6600 @ 3.3-3.9
GT 1070 8GB VRAM
8GB RAM DDR4

And in KOTH I got maybe 30 fps in town when many players,other servers and other gamemodes.... depends on server. Sometimes 100 fps and other times 20...

It's normal and a better CPU with higher IPC wil defintely help. Your game is limited by only one core that Arma is using, therefore stats will only show 40% for the CPU and therefore the GPU is bored cuase they ain't getting that much work in the first place.

It's the game. It has always been the game. And it always will be the poorly optimized (bad programmed) engine\game. Since 5 years.

5 years later I have 5600x and rtx 3070, same ♥♥♥♥♥♥ fps I used to get with my 4690k and 270x :)
