Gained 30 FPS from UNPARKING CPU cores (FX 6350 six core @ 3.9)!
I'm at average 60 FPS. Is this dangerous. From what I have researched I seems safe. Its only purpose is to conserve energy. I'm running on a gtx 770 overclocked on a windows 8 system. Educated responses only!!!

For those of you who don't know what unparking is, just look it up. My fingers are fat and lethargic, they have not the will to explain the simple complexities of unparking. Or someone explain it below. I'm not getting paid to increase your FPS.

Then your issue might be a graphics card issue

60fps avg with that cpu, of course, you forgot to say with 0 view distance..why do you keep buying that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ cpu and high end cards? It will never work, jesus.

All of my HT virtual cores were parked by Windows 7. I paid for HT features and I am not going to let Microsoft prevent me from utilizing them...

Say BI to fix. BI recommends to turn off HT for Arma.

Cores only become parked when they aren´t used to begin with.

Not too sure how that is. My cores 3-11 are not being used at all and 0-2 are, and 0-2 are parked while the rest are not.
