I just got the game but my pc is struggling to to hold 60 fps on low settings

[Major Lee Ree]

I thought my ryzen 5 5500 and a 4060 with 16gb ram would be enough but apparently not which is ok just wanted to know what spec you guys are running at to get 1440 at a solid 60 fps or higher

[Jrm]

With the way the game is, a huge sandbox mil sim it eats CPU resources and also requires a good Gpu at the same time.

With just the regular High Preset at 1440p Native no upscale I can achieve around 90+ FPS avg if I play Solo using the game master. If I do a mix of high and a few things upped to ultra preset then I get around 80's Fps avg, but it might dip down into 70's range on rare occasion if a lot of things are going on. I notice if I record with high bitrate like 70 MBps, this game is already so CPU heavy that it will take a decent hit to the FPS counter as well.

I have a 5800X3d with 6900xt that is overclocked to match a stock 6950xt, 32gb ram, nvme.

If you are playing online especially large servers with tons of things going on the server performance will dip down and you will see it on your client side too.

If you want to achieve 60+ at all times with higher settings than a PS5 PRO and not even using Upscale, a 7800xt and 5700x would do it. Or a 7800xt / 5700X3D.

That combo above will run HIGH preset at 1440p native 60+ fps.

Don't feel bad, even the PS5 pro on performance mode dips down into 40's when you look through a scope and back out.

A ps5 pro gpu is between a 4060 - 4060 ti max and probably uses medium settings at most, plus it uses upscale.


**EDIT**
I never needed to use upscale in this game ever, but I tested it for you and you can gain a boost in fps if you follow 2 steps.

1. Turn on FidelityFX Super Resolution 1.0 to YES
2. right above that look for Render Scale and bump it down to 85% max.

It should boost you fps some and still look pretty good as long as you don't have a bottleneck somewhere else.

If you go below 85% it will start to look real blurry at or below 80% render scale.

I did that and it bumped up my fps by around 88fps to 105 fps in the same spot.

It might not be as much for you, but test out fsr and render scale.

You could try to use FSR upscale in the game, but be warned it is the old fsr 1 version and it will look blurry but can help your fps some.

Yeah I've played a lot of Arma over the years but even in training mode offline it's dipping below 60 on low , I think it might be my processor maybe but either way I've refunded it now and I'm gonna come back to it when i have better hardware

A ryzen 5 5500 with a 4060? You are bottle necking the **** out of that GPU. And with 16gb of Ram??..... I have a 2080 GPU with a Ryzen 7 5800x 32gb of ram... If anything im bottle necking my GPU and im running a solid 90-110 1080. If you think that any game can run 1440 60 on any graphics settings with a Ryzen 5 5500.... dude im sorry. it isnt going to happen. What is so bad running a game at 1080? Bro youre on a ryzen 5 5500. Its like a $60 processor? And if you want or expect 60+ fps at 1440 to happen in this game, then it isnt the game for you. Especially at your PC specs. Some people dont really care how many frames they can get on the highest graphics settings. We are here for the experience of the game. Not for the graphics quality of the game.

lmfao i run at 100 fps semi optimized settings with a ryzen 5 3600 and rtx 3060, don't listen to these guys

bet they'll jester award the crap out of me too, and then say my setup is trash ontop of that

A 3600 is better than a 5500 because it has more cache, a 3060 and a 3600 is also a decent pairing, unlike a 2080 and a 5500.

As others have stated the CPU is letting you down here. Running 3440x1440 on high settings with a i7 14700 and it doesn't go under 100 fps at all.

Thank you for understanding and answering the question i asked

[Major Lee Ree]

Any way I heard they just finally added multi thread support for Arma 3 so i can mess with that a bit till i upgrade.

what this guy said more or less im on a 6800 amd ref card so its more like a 6800xt doing 1440p with some personal tweaks and using fsr3 frame gen in amd menu on a 12th gen i5 getting around 90 in mp

i mean its not great but you have cores and some cache the 5500 has less cache than you

[Major Lee Ree]

I literally just brought a entry level budget build so i don't expect too much from it, I still have two empty ram slots so taking it up 32gb wont be an issue I'll probably look at the cpu after that then probably get 5070 when they drop.

Welcome to ARMA

[RunsWithScissors]

My rig is a two year old MSI gaming laptop, the GE66 Raider. Specs;

11th Gen i9
32 GB DDR4 RAM
NVidia RTX 3080 w/ 16 GB
Game running off an external SSD

I originally ran at high 30s, low 40s with default settings.

I have tried a bunch of graphics settings including bumping render quality down to 85% and AA at 2X, view distance to 2,200, turned off the environmental whatever. I now run in the 40s, occasionally low 50s. I see some of these streamers running at 160 fps and I know they have souped up desktop gaming rigs but should they really run at +300% of what I am experiencing?

[Splash]

13700k and 10gb 3080
i have from 100 to 150 fps
1440p
Textures and Filtering on Ultra
Distance 3000m
Objects and model on high
a bit antialiasing and everything else at low
idk what you doing wrong

[A TIN OF JAR]

High settings with shadows low at 1440p averaging 80-100 fps depending on the situation.

RX 7800 XT (24.1.12 driver)
5800X3D
32GB DDR4 3600MHz
Game is installed on a M.2 SSD.
