A good gaming pc play Arma 3

[EatingHands101]

Does anyone know a inexpensive gaming pc that can play Arma 3 good. Any help on finding a good gaming would be much appreciated. I'm looking for a small case that can be easily portable. Maybe a case that is the same size or a little bigger than the ps4 and xbox one

Hi,
There ain't no laptop to run arma3 properly unless you have at least 2000$+ to pay for premium intel i7 laptops. Even with desktop builds, you will have to overclock the CPU to get the most out of arma3. I'd build a cheap 2500k (buying it second hand) or similar desktop system, overclock the hell out the cpu. That's the best - cheapest way atm.

Can you call a $2000 gaming laptop from your own experience?

Just remember mobile versions of hardware ain't great and you can get way better performance for half the price on a desktop pc.

OK. I need one that can be moved around easily because I don't have WiFi at my house so I go to a family members house.

That's "ok" but I think its best getting an Origin PC, or Ironside computer, just a computer built over $600-900 is amazing, I have a crap pc but it runs arma 3 at nearly medium to high settings. Arma 3 doesn't take much, but the only good laptop would be a razor or origin laptop.

I would say I would go 15-30, I don't really go 50+ in the game. But I recommend not using all low settings, always have the texture to high, the bloom to 100 to make it look better, and objects to low and you don't need shadows in the game tbh.

Solid deal for a pretty good gaming laptop. It's only 1080p and the screen isn't perfect, but it's only $1000.

Another good one for $950 that has a slightly lower GPU but includes a 512GB SSD and 16GB RAM isntead. Use the coupon code SPRING0410 for 5% off.

You can keep your eyes open for other deals. People who say you need to spend $2k to get a decent gaming laptop either have extremely high standards or don't know what they're talking about.

Also worth mentioning that a new line of GPUs are right around the corner, so laptop GPUs might see a decent change in price/performance pretty soon as well.

A thing about multiplayer in arma, incase anyone hasn"t already mentioned it, is that no matter how good your pc is, your fps will cap at a certain point due to some stupid thing in the engine. However, in singleplayer, your fps can be really high but in multiplayer it may not be.
