GTX 1080 gets as low as 30fps, average seems to hover around the upper 50s.

Engine so guud.

(I get excellent performance with a 980TI on ultra. Mostly 60fps, very, very few dips. Running on ultra with view distance at around 2500 overall)

You can't bruteforce the game to run better, you can overclock your system all you want, but the game engine is not very well optimized.

To anyone mentioning the new Infusion engine on DayZ. After some playing around with it myself earlier today, it's clear it makes DayZ run better, but you fail to realize that DayZ isn't running multiplayer scenarios and mods like Arma 3 does. Adding the Infusion engine to Arma 3 and including the same scenarios and mods and you'd easily be back to square one.

Mommy bought you a new computer? Wow another rich kid with tons of money who buys every new video card every year.

Love the people defending the game so hard in this thread.

"but its CPU bound, so its all forgiven!"

I get 90-100fps on a 980 GTX on all Ultra settings, but I also had to overclock my CPU from 3.2 GHZ to 4.0 GHZ. The limiting factor was the CPU, at stock I got 30fps, but overclocking cpu bumped to a very playable 90fps.

What CPU? Just curious as I used to have an i7 2600k and OCing to anything(highest I tried was 4.6 ghz) and it did absolutely nothing.

i also got a i7 2600k and its time to buy a new one my friend. Intel second generation is just to old for arma xD

ArmA III is a CPU bound application. Performance is bound to the speed of the simulation and this does not use your GPU.

In SP, your CPU will limit your maximum performance.

In MP, your CPU and GPU are of little consideration in client performance. If the server gets bogged down your FPS will tank as the simulation speed drops below a threshold.

TL;DR:
Known issue.

Ys it is. Or you can play another game that does what ArmA does...

GTX970 on an empty map gives varied fps as well, anywhere from 25 to 60 fps. So thats not a CPU thing if the fps varies so much on an empty map. It's most likely the way how the objects are rendered that can still cripple the fps. So even with a high end graphics card you need to be careful with the view distance/object distance.

You need to tweak your settings you dumbasses.
I have a steady 60-75fps on a gtx970. Test and read about different settings and so on. So many settings can be turned down without impacting the visual quality. You dont need to see a shadow 500meters away thats hidden anyways, just as an example.
I swear that this modern PC community is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cancer. They cant even tweak settings anymore. What have we become.

ArmA 3 is awful in comparison to ArmA 2.

Then you did not play it when it was first released. A2 was awful, it took years before it could run smoothly. BUT I agree the game is not properly optimized.

The op did not say if he was running in solo/mp with mod with a 12km view distance and so on.

I doubt Arma3 will get some better engine at all.
