Low FPS In Arma 3

Hey guys. I have been getting quite annoyed as recently i have for no reason started to get 30-40 fps in Arma 3. Changing my settings in game does not make a big difference. I use to be getting 100fps average. So i find it quite weird that i have all of a sudden dropped to 30. I wonder if there is a reason for this, and if anyone could help me fix it, i would greatly appreciate it.

System Specs:

2 titan x ( Not SLI ) 

64GB of ram (Other 64gb not usable :/ )

5960x at 4ghz

Rampage V Extreme

2 Samsung 850 Pro

Get that CPU overclocked more! Arma 3 is massively a CPU based game. (I have a 4690k clocked to 4.5ghz and get 50-60fps easily)

But no matter the specs, Some servers will limit your max FPS due to bad service. 

 
Got to ask why on earth you need 128 gb of ram? 

Anyway, there are some options that aren't really necessary but have large impact like Shadows. Search for an optimisation guide, they helped me. I find I get better FPS when running on higher graphics (which makes no sense)

This. If you built that PC, then why splash on so much RAM if you can't even use that much?

On the other hand, your processor is a bit 'weak' in terms of speed, try overclocking it.

its because Arma shifts processing to the GPU as it is more demanding... Why though I have no idea !!

 
Sometimes putting some settings on Ultra makes that "run" on your graphic card instead of your CPU which gives more performance for your CPU

 
Well i have my cpu overclocked to 4.5ghz, sorry i typed 4 but i meant 4.5. And i have had my game running 100fps average until a few days ago, until its suddenly dropped to 30-40. I really don't know why. I have reinstalled arma 3 and deleted the arma3.cfg so it can be rebuilt, and none of this help.

Yea it was a big mistake getting 128 instead of 64. But i can have it ready for any future upgrades ect. I may even do a giveaway for it idk.

Its not just the 30fps tho, i will get a moment when all the characters freeze and go all weird looking. And it will last for 10-20 seconds, and i have to exit my game it is that bad.

well i get you, you did get a pc for running these game's good so i get why you are pissed. anyway i have been expierencing frame drops since the last update's too. did you try checking fps on a different server?

I will go check on a different server now

EDIT: @Ronnie PickeringOk, so i have just tested on a dif server, and i get the 100fps. So it must be server side idk.

yeah, many people have been expierencing some fps issues. can't really help you here buddy. guess you gonna have to stick with 30 - 40 fps for a while.

:(. How long will this last? As i am having to take all my settings to low to even get 30fps where a few days ago i could have everything on ultra and get 100fps.

is your fps that low ? even on low graphigs? i mean there are all sorts of things to help you get better fps but with that rig you shouldn't even need to do tweaks.

Ik...... It can go to 70 when in the wilderness, but when in cities, it goes to 30-40 :/

Yea i thought this system wouldn't need tweaks. 

I guess i just wait for them to fix the fps issue if there is one.
