If you want to improve Arma3 FPS, make sure your CPU has a high clock-speed. Preferably 4Ghz or over.
Arma3 engine is poorly optimised and to be honest, your GPU upgrade wont make a huge difference.
I went from a Radeon HD 5850 GPU to a Geforce GTX 980 and got a total of 7 whole FPS extra.
Friend of mine bought a new processor (i5 I think) running at 4Ghz, compared to his old 3Ghz AMD and got about a 20 FPS boost.

How can we know if you don't tell us your current set up :Confused:
Also, make sure you've got a SSD. SSD for the performance win :Cool:

Make sure if you're getting a i5k you learn how to OC it correctly with correct voltages etc. Depending on what cooler you have as well. There are many helpful guides online! 960 vs 630 is basically a given. 960 will improve your gameplay a lot!

An SSD will not give you a higher FPS. If you are running the game at 25FPS on minimum settings, you're still going to be running the game at 25FPS even with an SSD. You're highest framerate is still determined by your CPU and GPU.
An SSD will give you a higher average FPS. Arma 3 is very hard drive intensive. While a lot of people seem to think that it will improve loading times alone, they are failing to realise that Arma 3 loads constantly - it streams from the drive. If you experience stutter on high draw distances, while moving quickly across the map for example in a helicopter or as Zeus, or in built up areas, you will get a smoother experience with an SSD.
