  • Right click on Arma 3 in your Steam library, choose "Properties"
  • Select the "BETAS" tab
  • Copy/paste the code CautionSpecialProfilingAndTestingBranchArma3 then "CHECK CODE"
  • Finally, still in this "BETAS" tab, use the dropdown list to select the branch "profiling - Performance Profiling Build"

  • Please adjust your graphic settings according to you PC specifications. You are the only master of these settings, which will significantly impact your FPS in game; do not be too greedy ;)
Tip
  • Small trick in game: hold CTRL (left) + SHIFT (left) + "-" (numeric keypad) and type "FLUSH"
    (Simply, it allows to update memory of the game which stores all objects when you travel on map)

@SoraDraft Sadly (as you can see into "Memory Allocator" selector) there is no option for AMD processors.
