You will find your FPS to be different between the menu and in-game. I capped my FPS to 144 which is why my menu FPS maxed out at 144. In-game FPS varies lower in-game depending on AI, and single core CPU use.

I play modded servers and it’s rlly hard I get lots of stutter u got any tips I got pretty low end pc
1. Follow this video's steps.
2. Compare FPS in Vanilla servers vs Modded Servers
3. Lower View Distance until FPS is acceptable
4. If you can't get FPS to be acceptable, uograde the PC
The Beta Performance Profile states, Code Invalid, as of 10-16-2022. Tested @07:04. Must add, Performance Beta is now a tab selectable option, No longer requires a code to access.
Real silly question, but can I play on KOTH servers with the FPS boosting mods?
Great video! Gonna have to try some of these tricks. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Viper1Zero. Glad to see you entered the chat. Your videos have helped me and my friends.
Two legends in the same place... The all mighty Zeus has gifted us with more than just lightning bolts and flipped vehicles
I damn near crapped my pants when I did a full mag dump without a single frame of lag. You're a lifesaver
aw yeah! Thanks for sharing
eu caguei na calça com 150 fps !
Man, it's the best arma channel out there :) I really like this format where you're providing these cohesive lists of mods/solutions.
Now my game in runing like silk. Thank so much Man! New suscriber here
Thanks bro I really appreciate a tutorial that's not outdated great work
Arma lives! Let me know what else you would like to know
wow just doing the video settings tips vastly improved my FPS thanks a ton man
Glad it worked for you :)
damn this actually helped, thanks mate!
Excellent video. I like how you showed the impact of each tweak individually.
I was going to give up on this game and then I found this video you saved me! Deserves a subscription and a share on twitter hopefully it can help more people 🙏
Get ready! I am about to release info on increasing your FPS even more.
Omg bro! I can’t believe it! Now it’s work so much better!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Super helpful! Arma 3 is so weird with its setttings but this definitely doubled/steadied my FPS!. Thanks :)
Thank you so much. Arma 3 has always been one of my favorite game but because of the bad performance, I just couldn't play. Because of you I can enjoy this game again.
Damn…from 39 fps to 174 while flying a jet 😅 thanks bruh!
Let's GOOOOO!
im curious to see you playing on a 100 ppl KOTH server, your fps is gonna burn to 20
Yeah, the server has a hard time running that many people. Going to want to add a headless client to the server to increase FPS
Just shows how much you know. Is that why people with faster single thread performance have better FPS in koth? Lol
Yep!
never had such great FPS boost. love ya

I'm running a very cpu bottlenecked pc, so this info is a great help! (20-30 fps whenever anything is going on, despite an rtx 3060)
20 to 9 fps lesgoooo
Went from 20-30 fps while playing to 50-60!! Thank you so much (did your video options , launcher config, the regular config, and performance profile)
Perfect. Thanks for sharing with steps you followed
@@nannertime i went from 30 fps to 5fps lol im dead
@@Aktoto1 I literally laughed out loud
@@HashMaster1776 not funny
Bro you're a legend, I was at 20 fps in game and this shot me up to 50 or above, I appreciate it!
I love you, thanks!!
THE CPU PRIORITY section FIXED my long time stuttering issue. THANK YOU!!! worth downloading LASSO
Thanks for sharing with everyone!
Do you need to run Lasso each time or just once and it holds the settings?
Legend turned my 60fps to 370fps didnt even know that was possible
Unbelievable? I think not!
god damn
Wow!
i have now 700 fps
💀
This video helped me so much and made the game playable, thank you!
Thank you, now the game runs so much smoother
Excellent video! The game has been unplayable for me. I would get frame drops from 70+ down to 15. Now i get a smooth steadt 70. Thank you!
Now it's time to have some fun!
Thank you for the video. I have over 1,000 hrs in Arma and now I can finally play with smooth frame rates. The Lasso tool, automatic view distance, and simple video settings worked best for me. You da man!
😎
I’d try all that in the video but except tamper with view distance won’t be able to see sniper and ppl far out .
but u cant use the mods on servers so ?
@@Danolinithe1st not all of them, few mods like jsrs can be client based only.
Thank you So much! You made my day :)
With a video like this, you just got to sub! Love it. I am enjoying these arma 3 vids.
Thanks man! Let me know what else you would like to see
In just a few minutes i gained 100+ fps . Ur a life saver bro
Quick and easy!
This is a great list of methods.
you are such a nice person. ty so much! it worked
Happy to hear
This for sure helped me. Was running 55 fps with no action all the way down to 20, but after this im running 80-90 and 60 fps in the action.. Thank you!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I WENT FROM 40 FPS TO 110! THATS INSANE!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
thank u so much bro... i have very similar specs your computer is almost the same build as mine, and this guide helped me out so much. I'm gonna share this video with my Arma unit so they can also get the performance increase
Glad I could help
Wow 😮 bro thanks a lot for this tip, I’m on my 3rd or 4th Generation built PC and still have trouble running this game going to share this with a lot of my buds my rig 4x more powerful than mine and struggle! And works fine over my Ryzen 4.8ghz and 64gb DDR4 / 5700 XT setup :)
Thanks for this Knightin every Arma fan needs this information!
It always helps to have a decent cpu, enough ram with high frequency, along with the game on an SSD to
help with performance its a must have. Arma is to good to be running it on a potato and playing
with shit graphics and low fps.
Ha! Thanks for adding this. I meant to include a hardware section to the video, but was crunched on time and forgot.
Timings are equally as important as frequency. For example CaS 14 3200 mhz is faster than CaS 18 4000mhz ram
Good job and thx for your nice vidéo, very good work ! +1
This helped so much. I have a 13700k and 4090 and I was stuck at an unstable 50 fps. Now pinned to refresh rate in most cases.
very nice
PIP can half your frame rate while in or close to vehicles, even when on lowest quality, I suggest you just turn it off and take the loss of rear vision mirrors in cars
Awsome video, turned my fps from 35 to 80! They changed the beta password tho
what is the new beta password?
none. You dont need it anymore
You're amazing!!!
Nice video...thanks a lot 😀
Most welcome 😊
My god you helped me I went from 60 in main menu to 800 FPS in main menu god damn it you are a legend
I'm glad you found it useful!
Thank you for this video, it's helped me raise my fps slightly in ArmA 3, but even after trying all methods but the final one, my fps still doesn't exceed 20 - 25 fps even in singplayer, my specs are above the recommended specs in steam (16 gb RAM + GTX 1060 6gb + i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz 2.21 GHz) and my game is still a slideshow, do you know any causes and/or fixes for my issue?
Hi Toaster! It looks like your biggest bottleneck is your CPU. Arma 3 is an old game that generally only uses 1 CPU core. Many people suggest getting a CPU with >4 GHz. Generally, the higher the better.
Look at my pc specs, which is a pretty beefy pc, I still tend to play around 30-35 FPS inside of a singleplayer game.
@@nannertime Oh, thank you! I'll try hyper boosting my cpu since I can't overclock it. Great video by the way, it was very informative.
Nah that does not add up you have a software problem not a hardware one,my specs are i5-3rd generation something 2.0ghz rx 570 8gb 8gb ddr3 ram and i still have 50-60 fps
@@macgyver5110 I got some help and installed the proper software, now with your tips my game runs wonderfully! It went from 20 fps to 80. Thank you!
Fantastic! What proper software are you talking about?
great video! i went from 30 fps to 30 fps :) didnt even change at all
DAMNN thx u, it works well for me, my 1050 was abt to die
ah yeah
I play ARMA 3 on my laptop as I travel alot and ive never had over 60fps and averaged about 44. I just followed your basic steps up to the point where you did the parameters and checked in the menu and I'm now at 205 FPS.
From 60 - 205 FPS that's insane
How have I never known about this before.
can you tell me your specs? because i think about buying the game i have a Gtx 970 4gb, I5-2500k(Overclocked), 12gb RAM, and the official system requirements seem to be very outdated
Sure thing.
(CPU)
Intel® Core™ i7 Six Core Processor 8750H (2.2GHz, 4.1GHz Turbo)
(RAM)
16GB Corsair 2400MHz SODIMM DDR4 (2 x 8GB)
(Graphics card)
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1060 - 6.0GB GDDR5 Video RAM - DirectX® 12.1
I've had this laptop 5 years now and still runs arma 3 well. Can definitely say these changes helped alot because I play exclusively on my own so I used a ridiculous number of mods at anytime so this definitely helped.
@@Luis-ps6ek your cpu is very likely your bottleneck, I'd also go for more ram. Arma starts out at like 9gb and creeps its way up the longer you play.
menu fps means nothing bro, you turned on a static main menu image so ofc its going to shoot up in fps, and ofc this option is going to do zero for in game performance.
I understand that the one I mentioned was menu FPS. But I still had significant improvement in game as well so definitely works regardless. Was still getting 55-60fps in game at times where I use to get 35-40fps on average. And if I used it in combination with the view distance mods I'd basically have 50-60 fps almost constantly unless I did something chaotic or used way to many performance heavy mods.
This is a LIVE SAVER for my tomato PC. Upgrading soon but will use this in the meantime. Bless you
Luckily, Arma can run on potato pc's, too haha! Have fun.

Thank you!!💯👊🏻
No problem!!
thanx dude i boosted my fps from 14fps to 136 it actually helped alot
Right on! happy gaming
Holy cow! Went from 34 FPS to 274! THANK YOU!!!
hahaha
As someone with a cheaper pc and just averages 100-200 fps on the menu, knowing the engine work, it just makes me know how new you are.Go in a 80+ player server. See FPS then, that's the only true gauge, because they kept single-threaded networking. Getting smooth FPS in singleplayer is way easier than with players in multiplayer. They were known for covering up and tweaking this detail for years, banning people, until finally acknowledging their issue, thus why they are trying to take the leap to a multithreaded engine. Still 35 to 40+ fps in online is all you need on this game on any setup.
That's right! I addressed all of this information in the video.
I went from 50-60 frames to 80-100, thanks for the help. Although there is a couple settings you recommended that are counter productive such as hyper threading. This just lost frames for me so i turned it off. Thank you for the guide tho you helped a bunch. To anyone debating it, definitely get process lasso. Ive had it for a while now trying to boost frames in tarkov and it definitely works.
For me using the Windows memory allocator in the Parameters section ran a lot SLOWER than the default Intel one (66 vs 80). This is good setting for people to double check on their systems. Thanks for the vid.
Good point. Different allocators work better for different PCs
yes, the windows allocator cost me around 7 FPS
GUYS try running the launcher / game's exe as ADMINISTRATOR, it increased my FPS from 30 to 70 in KOTH
Thanks for the tip!
Legend you are pal, great vid once again, helped me out a ton!
This is only the beginning 🙃
Your thread is complete nonsense. Why do you leave the object view distance at 3800? Set it to 1500 (slower cpu to 1000- 1250), that alone will quadruple your fps. Foresight on 2500-3000, bip off, terrain and objects on standard... I play at 70 fps. And setting it via the launcher only helps very badly, maybe +3 fps.
3800 is useful is you fly vehicles high. Definitely set it lower to max out FPS, unfortunately, it does not affect my FPS much at these levels.
But, also, there is the Perceptive mod in my Quality of Life mods video that overrides this problem.
Great guide I hope you do something similar for Arma 5
Arma 5?! My great grandchildren would be having great grandchildren by then 😄
underrated video! ty bro
What was your before and after FPS?!!!!
22 to 60 even😮💨😮💨😮💨
An 8 core cpu only pulls 30 fps DAAAAMN ARMA
Went from 150+ in the menu all the way to 250+ thanks homie
I rarely comment or physically like videos but this shit was so helpful
the beta code didnt work for me says the code is invalid
You dont need it anymore
@@nannertime OK
I dont get how you make such good content,but you have 3k subs
keep up the good work pal
UA-cam can be brutal! Thanks for the encouragement. More coming :)
really helped me thx
Glad it helped
bro thank you from 40fps to 7 fps I appreciate it!
I swear to god you change my fps so much lmao
great video! I will definitely try these out when I have some time and let you know how it went. Question: Do the mods work when I play on a server, for example wasteland? Or will they get disabled? Thanks in advance!
It depends on the server
Awesome quick, and complete tutorial to increase performance for real, thanks man! About the ISLC, would be better to lower the value set on "free memory is lower than" ? To like 1/3 of your total memory for example?
arma 3 is so wonky, so I would tinker withbit if you think RAM is an issue for you.
Great!
Still saving people in 2023 brother 💪
oh damn, got my pc back from bestbuy and all of my settings are gone. this really helped thank you
See you on the battlefield!
Tysm lol
Np
Thanks i had no idea about the mods. also cpu clock speed , cpu ring ratio,and ram speed make a huge difference in arma . if you overclock your cpu and use avx offset to get a bit more of a overclock arma 3 it seems to not drop the clocks from avx but still have stable overclock i got another 200mhz.
Going to be very helpful for the new mac port! It says its playable on a macbook air M1 laptop, but im sure its not going to have great fps on standard settings.
Bro nice job ,I have a great improvement from about 90fps to 160fps with this and it looks better than before
🤩😛
Thanks for the tutorial! I have a pretty shit pc but the fps went from 15 to 40 fps! The only issue is that I cannot play on the official servers with these mods you mentioned. Well thanks anyway!
Im glad it worked out for you
20 to 42! Thank you
WOO!
The best part is i watched the entire video to just solve my lagg on servers :)
Curious as to why you didn't enable Large-page support? Does that affect your FPS?
One of the reasons I left it out was because Windows Home users can't actually get use from it.
But, if it is really significant, let me know and I will add it.
@@nannertime Only time I remember it being useful was years ago when they weren't on 64bit compatibility. The game would run out of memory and force it to use the Large-page file support to keep it stable and prevent the FPS from dropping down to 2fps after an hour or two of play. I used to get that error a lot, suddenly went from 30-50fps to 2fps. Haven't seen that issue in years though. So probably right to keep it unchecked :)
That sounds right now that you say it. Thank you!
Went from 60 to 219 FPS without the final few mods. Amazed!!!
Glad you're enjoying it
You can also set your launch options to allow more cpu cores, threads and limit your system memory and gpu memory limits while running the app. I have an 8-core cpu with 16-threads, when enabling the extra cores and threads, my fps went from 25 to 60. Doesn't seem like much but Arma is and has always been CPU labor intensive over GPU intensive like Battlefield or COD. Offloading extra resources from your CPU to your GPU by making some settings changes "May" help. When Bohemia actually starts to either develop an engine that utilizes both CPU/GPU or adapting to an existing one like Unreal or CryEngine, We won't see FPS above 75 stable without fluctuations. Also consider that the Arma engine is almost 20 years old.
Have you checked out Arma Reforger yet???
@@nannertime nah i playing with ace, kat rhs and few addition addons which destroy arma 3 engine optimization at all )
On my 13700K + 4080 i got from 44 to 88 fps in cherno on chernarus 2020 map. That's sounds great for arma but as optimization it's ruined, about reforger - yeah enfusion looks nice even as mod potential, BUT it has big problem with stability for now, netcode is pretty bad(but same i can say for arma 3 where my publicVarable not synced in MP even after it forces few time to update from server and i need to run manual updater in 2023....), also enfusion still pretty unstable as mod tool, their tool utility crashing on my pc without any reason if i try to setup a map soooo maybe in arma 4 we will see better performance, but i think 60-70fps still will be best, but with better graphic of course.
My FPS went from 60 to 305 on a medium rig (i5@10500, 64gig RAM, GPU RTX 2060 (6gig VRAM)) with just the Video settings. Played without mods. I'll see what happens with. THANK YOU for this video
EDIT: Actually played in a scenario with mods. FPS now 70 FPS. It used to be Bout 35. So these fixes are still great.
Getting my first pc nothing fancy just basic for with 2gb 1030 gpu with I.5 3.4gh I will be using this guide to boost fps
I hope it goes well!
Oh my god this actually worked for me and i have a low end pc, 24 fps to 60 average thanks man

You are the best
As someone who plays Arma 3 way to much I have yet to watch the vid but, I know it will be good.
You never mentioned whether or not you are usining (VRR) variable refresh rate/ Adaptive sync/ Freesync/Gsync? i usually run things at 1080p with Gsync on a 144hz monitor.
I run on 2k 144 Hz freesync monitor
Thank you my fps went from 10 to 21 tysm
Wooo!! 10 would have been the worst
The intelligent standby thing and the Process Lasso have to be open everytime i want to play or just a one off setup?
Those programs need to be open every time. You can run them at system startup so you don't have to tinker with them every time you play.
@@nannertime Thanks dude
best performance like for you
tank u tank u
Beta acces code invalid now, but anyway, thanks for the tips! I saw on another channel the advice to go to Launcher Options - Action after game start - "Close Launcher after clicking play"...what's your opinion on that?
You can do it! You might gain a couple of FPS from doing that. (I did gain 2-3 FPS) I honestly should have included that in my tips
You dont need the beta code anymore, so no biggy
YASSSSSSSSSS. THIS IS NEEDED FOR EVERYONE
cool, can you also explain the PPAA and The Aniso Filtering or do they not matter?
They do not make a difference for me.
@@nannertime thx
From almost 40 fps in game, to almost 90 fps, tweaking video options, parameters and using process lasso. GG
great to hear! thanks for the feedback
This tutorial saved me i went from 40 fps to 300...
This is very poggers at the first part my fps was at 30-60 then it was at 70-114
Glad to hear!
if u set the max prerendered frames to 1 it does not matter what you write in the detected frames section . The default max is 1000 and thats the only way that 2 detected frames could work . Both need to be 1 in this case .
Thanks for your input!
