WILL A FX CPU BE ENOUGH ?

[Warfreak]

i have a AMD 7770 1gb ghz edition, but my cpu is only a phenom 965 x4 BE. i can play single player fine with standered graphics , but multiplayer destroys my fps like many others i get 15-20 fps and in an AO i get less, but the qusetion here, is if i change my phenom for a fx 6350 and still use my 7770 card will this increase my FPS to atleast 25 + fps. am not looking for an amazing performence boast but anything more then 20 fps will be a god send to me. i will be upgrading my card to a 7870 2gb as well later on, but am getting a new fx cpu first. it would be nice to get away with just changing my CPU. but like some advice on the FPS i should exspect to see from people who know there stuff...?

Unfortunately no, but i have a fx-8120 with GFX GTX 660 and i can get on SP around 50/70 fps ( high settings, distance 2000k, objects 1500k), on MP around 15/30 fps (same sttings) but depends on the configuration server, if i get my FX OC to 4.5 i only get a boost around 5/10 fps on MP.
So (in my mind) if you are expecting a boost of 25 fps on MP from a Phenom X4 965 to a FX-6350, forget it because this game only works with 1 or 2 cores so you need to think in OC the cpu to around 4.0Ghz to get some good FPS but not a boost of 25+ FPS.
I´m not saying that the FX-6350 it´s not a good investment, you should buy it but don´t expect any miracle on this game with it.
I was trying to upgrade my cpu to an FX-8350 and a GTX 660 TI but i only could get a GTX 660 2gb and i went from a 10/20 to about 20/30 fps on MP witch is a good improvement.

I'm curious what you are playing? Tried many different servers?

As wipeout said, the game is going to love more raw speed than more cores.

I know people who play on FX8350's and get decent results. Personally, I'd go Intel because their IPC (Instructions per Cycle) is better. So clock for clock, core for core, more gets done, this is what Arma needs, but you have to pay for it.

Don't forget this isn't just about your computer. Could be poor server hardware, could be bad mission design (which is why I'm curious what you are playing).

thats what people have said to me in past, that my specs arnt great but arma 3 multiplayer isnt optimized very good. i know intel is a better option but am sticking with amd for now, ill try adding a better cpu cooler and oc it and see what happens. i have just tried a thing off youtube that has increased my fps by 10+ really happy but am only playing on low settings and most things turned off, aa ect.. just want to hit 30+ fps and standered graphics thats my goal for the year XD

Plays nice purely to the fact its overclocked, and this game loves big cores.

Ultimately this ^^.

So many people come here to complain about the game without truely understanding where the problems are.

The mission you play and the server it's running on are 9 times out of 10 the reason for people having bad multiplayer experience.

[Warfreak]

that is somthing i have noticed, some servers i get 12+ fps other 20+ fps , maybe restarts would help..

[Sgt. Flaw]

6350's a great processor for the price..
Can always add a hypere 121 after market cooler and get it to about 4.5 for more preformance.

Agreed with this post completely
