ARMA 3 FPS

[EXP || MJ]

I don't know why the fps goes to 20 fps and it's not very normal. In games that weigh much more it works perfectly for me and I have a very good PC, does anyone know how to solve it?

Welcome to ArmA, this is normal for it.

Some way to deal with it is to turn render distance down.

You don't.

Its all about server performance and mission design. We play with 50-60+ constantly with no issues.

Problem: Arma depends more on your CPU than your GPU. Then Arma only uses a small portion of your CPU. This is why it is expected to get low FPS.

Solution: Lower render distance in Video Settings. And avoid being near a high number or objects, smoke, and explosions.

This is mostly incorrect.
Smoke and explosions are rendered with PhysX using your GPU. Objects inherently do not cause low FPS.

You do not have to expect to get low FPS. As stated above a totally reasonable framerate is quite achievable.

ArmAs AI calculations will be some of the heaviest hitting. If you are loading large amounts of groups or units then that can be one of the first that will bring things to a halt.

Consider using well made missions, or if designing yourself then try and use the minimum of AI, vehicles, and any physics based or ai based objects. Alternatively also use a caching script, it can help quite a lot.

Pretty sure the devs said they moved the PhysX processing over to the CPU years ago.

stutters on every configuration.?...how why?? i9 w 2070 super and the game is unplayable 20 fps w massive stutters. Manipulated all the in game settings and the nvidia control panel. Nothing but stutterszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!

Wrong PhysX ain't as old as flashpoint. "It was first introduced in Mafia II in August 2010" so it's too young for even Arma 2.


I'm sure Arma 3 started with them attempting to use GPU but reverted back and announcing it.

In what world is a Intel i9 not enough for a 2070? Seems like you're the "bad troll" here.
