Performance going to shit

[tristanboy15]

Im sure its not a software related issue, however i will check if i have the latest driver.

Alfie helped me a bit earlier.

I was basically running on 1 core the entire time, my PC has 4 cores so we switched it over to 4.
Then we went to change the memory- and video allocator. Not sure how he got the numbers.

It helped my FPS on rpuk at least

how do you check to see if arma is running off 1 core ?? @Jeep_addison

check your task manager, if arma is using something like 10/20% thats a pretty good indication. also check that your parameters are set to the amount of cores you have.

 

[Smitherz]

yeah i have it set to 6 cores however in task manager is only uses about 8-14%

Have you set the video memory to match the cpu as well?

 

[Smitherz]

@Jeep_addison Change CPU and your AMD.

Problem solved.

AMD Always freaking burn, it heats too fast.

As suggested by Ayub above - arma was optimised for intel chips, specifically single core clock speeds.

I’m an example of the same issue you had - I had a shit system with a AMD 8350 or whatever, GTX1070. I upgraded my motherboard and CPU to the i7 7700k and a ROG board - I now get double the FPS I had before! Graphics cards don’t mean shit in Arma, by that I mean having a 1080ti or having a 1070 will not change performance.

If you can’t afford an i7, an i5 is just as good but lacks the hyper threading which will make certain multi thread applications run worse (if you care).

I have an 8350 and a gtx 1050 2GB (unplayable) i will get an rx 580 8GB soon enough so i hope things change.

I'm mainly getting it because i need to upgrade my gpu in order to play newer games like ghost recon wildlands etc. But it will be interesting to see how it compares to the gtx 1050. If i get like 30 fps in kavala then i will be very happy.
