Huge boost in FPS upon RAM overclock.

[IcyTorrent]

Overclocked my ram from 2800 to 3200 and I see 10-20 more FPS in Exile now. I average 70ish with microdips to 40. Not going to bother providing proof, but I thought I would help out someone unfortunate with lower FPS.

How does one go about Over clocking ram?

I just have some ♥♥♥♥♥♥ dell provided Ram from the Alienware X51 i scrapped. (Pulled the CPU and Ram to put in a real PC)

so arma is that heavy on ram? maybe thats why my last ram got fried.

Also added 2 additional case fans since then though :P

From my own experience I can say, you gain 13-15% FPS when overclocking your RAM.
So let's say, in reality it is solid 10%.


I assume OP had to activate the overclocking mode in the BIOS,
by this some of the energy saving options have been turned off
and the high performance setting have been activated.


Only by overclocking the RAM from 2800 to 3200 you will gain 5% FPS, not more.

I can testify that overclocking northbridge/memory will lead to nice results, but keep in mind, there's a risk of corrupting your OS while doing so.

I already have all power saving modes off from overclcoking my CPU far beforehand. All I did was turn on XMP then fiddle about a little. Assumptions aren't nice.

You will not gain 20 FPS more when you overclock your RAM from 2800 to 3400.

I don't want to win a internet argument here.
I want to prevent that other ArmA players reading this and are trying to do the same.

I am happy for you that you have 20 FPS more now, no matter what caused it.

Exile is meaningless trash. Test on at least KOTH, I&A, Insurgency.

Neither do I. I think we can both agree that Arma does whatever the hell it wants to do without any sense of logic. My roomate for example has a worse computer than me in every sense, yet he gets better FPS on Arma.
