FPS compared to Arma 3

[Snakelore]

Hey, I’m looking to get the game but I’m not really interested if the performance is very comparable to Arma 3 (KotH). I’ve messed with my settings in Arma 3 and usually my FPS can drop to 20 when in the middle of towns and fire fights on low/medium. If you have experience with both games, could you please give me a general rundown on fps comparability (Walking around, in towns, gun fights, etc.). I don’t mind playing the game on low/medium settings, I’m just curious if the game will have decent fps even when in more intensive situations, as that’s kind of what stops me from playing Arma often.

Specs:
R7 3700x
2070 Super
32 GB DDR4
Will be running it from an M.2

Thanks!

Runs pretty good for me to be honest and it definetly runs better than Arma 3 in most scenarios overall. even if theres like 60 people crammed together you won't lose much fps as long as your settings aren't cranked tf up.

beware though that for some people the game servers can just decide to never work no matter how many times you uninstall and reinstall, verify files etc

but your game will run, i'm running on a ryzen 5 3600 and 1660 super and its working (however i've been called a rage baiter and troll because my specs "don't work" according to some keyboard warriors)

Generally speaking, it runs a little bit better than A3, but it will see frame drops in demanding situations.

Sorry, there is no scenario in Reforger that compares to a full Arma3 KOTH server with 100+ players using the same amount of different weapons, equipment and vehicles in various big destryable towns.

And there is no way to emulate it in Reforger for now, because Reforger has not implemented some, any and sure not every gameplay function available in Arma3 now. If Reforger had to do what is possible in Arma3, then... but only then would a performance comparison be fair.
But who knows how long we need to wait for a feature rich game like Arma3 again.




And yes. Reforger will run just as fine as playing a Patrol mission in Arma3 coop on your PC.
Because there is never going on a lot.

FPS is good but it's a stuttery mess.

Game will run fine on OP's computer. He just gotta tweak the settings to a mix of medium/high. And maybe set resolution to 80% with FSR turned ON. If he wants to play in 1440p. If he however wants to play on a 1080p monitor, im sure it runs fine without lowering resolution and using FSR.

I'd go as far as to say Reforger has MUCH better performance than ARMA 3 in any situation given the same hardware.

First of all in ArmA3 you cannot have more fps than the server itself. If the server drops down to 20 fps, guess who is getting 20 fps? (every player on the server).

Second A3 was very CPU heavy and only used 1 core pretty much. GPU practically does not matter at all when it comes to FPS, at least when you have a GPU that is not 10 years old. That's the usual issue with FPS in A3.

That said, GPU in Reforger does matter and the new engine runs much smoother overall.

That's really funny considering up until I upgraded the GPU to a 3060 that was the exact rig on was originally running the game on and it worked perfectly fine.

The 3060 does run the game better but the biggest improvement was that the card was no longer randomly overheating because *MY* 1660 super had that problem

it will work great for you dont worry, Arma 3 youll get 20 fps on a supercomputer

Just don't set the "Environment Quality" setting any higher than low!

Ultra just does almost nothing except eat 20 fps lol

Ignore CalicoJack, He spams these forums with "Reforger doesn't compare to Amra 3 KOTH" quite often, and quite literally doesn't know what he's talking about. I even provided him video proof and he found literally 1 second where the frames dipped and used it as a way to "prove" that Reforger runs worse than Arma 3. Dude's a clown.

Intense battles with 80-100 players around one major city on WCS realism servers with tons of mods, helicopters, tanks, artillery, modded weapons, etc.... 3440x1440p resolution, graphics on high-Ultra (clouds set to low because they're bugged), I'm getting 120-160 fps. Ryzen 7800x3d and a 4080 super.

Obviously that's high end stuff, but also my settings and resolution are quite high. If you have a mid-end PC or higher, Arma Reforger will scale better performance wise than Arma 3. Its a demonstrable fact and clowns like CalicoJack are just haters who can't stop riding Arma 3's junk and keep whining that Reforger doesn't have a lot going on while clearly never playing the modded servers and seeing for himself that there's a ton going on and it runs much better than Arma 3.

That's a pretty dubious claim, even if there is some truth to it, that's not most people's experience.

if I can get close to 60 at a mid range rig, he absolutely can reach higher with a better one.
