Arma engine is really old and limited + it does not use many cores from your CPU. Best way to get best FPS in ARMA 3, Reforger and Squad like MMO games is good CPU. Invest rather in CPU than GPU Best for arma rn. will be Ryzen 7 7800x3d Do not invest in CPUs with 16 cores, arma will use like 2 cores because of its limitations. Hope this helps guys.
Man your English so amazing so i even not being native english user understood EVERYTHING. Thank you for optimization. Stay safe and healthy. Hello from Ukraine.
I did everything you said and it doesn't seem to work in Contact unfortunately. The big trick for the base game seems to be picking your setting then lowering your draw distances to take stress off the cpu until you can just about max your gpu utilization.
Its arma, based on A2 engine thats very old, it also deppends on the mission. Those settings are the best you can do atm. I can suggest lowering view distance in city to 500m. Other than that, you need skilled missionmaker to avoid those limitations by mission design
@@Hardcore_Operator I actually got a mod that automatically lowers view distance for the sake of FPS, and I’m enjoying it a lot more (I am an FPS hog). But man I really hope Arma 4 is gonna be more polished than 3 was. They need to ditch the poor optimization.
Hey man look at it like this… you can either have a super complex, dynamic open-world sandbox with lower frames or you can have 0 latency loot boxes. Always pros and cons
Keep in mind if your running on a 4k display as you will not need post processing as your rendering 4x as many pixels, thus you can turn it down else off. I also don't use vsync as this will be effected by how many mods and types of mods a server might be using. If your hosting, provisioning is prime especially if you might be using a hard drive and haven't migrated to M.2. If your a solo player, then you could use frame limiting to keep a GPU cooler. Please note that AMD does not use Hyperthreading as it uses SMT. Leave core count alone as it's kind of a relic left over as the game was released in 2013, and I've played it since Alpha. Though I do use file extra threads, but I'm not sure if it assists really that much. Leave malloc alone as Win 10 does fine enough these days. Leave ram alone as there's a design limit and it will use what it can. These are my perspectives and I've played with 32G even on my FX-8350, 2600, 3600XT and currently 5900X. The other visuals he got spot on pretty much. In closing, in 2023 your should have no real issue's anymore and you already know how the game play is going to be on your favorite server.
Probably something wrong with your hardware. I’d check SSD/HDD - RAM - GPU - CPU in that order assuming everything else outside gaming is functioning as expected.
its so fucked up , singleplayer i have 70-100 fps on ultra when I play multiplayer its always 70fps at base and when I go to the war/city area it drops to 30fps on Ultra or Lowest settings it doesn't fucking matter. I don't understand what changes
@@beastmasterbg This is arma. As mentioned at the beginning, nothing much you can do than inves heavily into a good CPU. Some settings make it so it utilizes your CPU more and strains your CPU slightly less, but do not expect black magic. Ryzen 7 7800x3d is best for arma rn
@@Hardcore_Operator Difference is noticeable, even in the video. HDR off makes it look like Arma 2, with it on colours are much more natural, and the difference in performance is negligible. I personally do not recommend sharpening, very subtle sharpening at most is acceptable, if your monitor is already calibrated.
Just as a heads up: You don't have to adjust the default viewdistance settings at all, when using my mod. Leave them at whatever value they are and when you disable Automatic View Distance the game will revert to those settings.
Thanks chief, but Imma be honest, recently I started to prefer CH View Distance. Automatic view distance is a nice concept, but when it changes view distance rapidly, it actually drops FPS (at least from what I noticed)
People still believe these so called fps boost tweaks? I mean the game engine is old and barely utilize all of the hardware and resources even if you do all of the tweaks it is only temporary. Also when joining MP session with large players on the server it is expected to encounter heavy FPS drops since the game engine barely able to compensate everything that is happening at once. Setting the graphics to standard - high on single player is fine but on multiplayer session rather set them to standard or low to compensate random pop-ins and delayed texture loading and fps drops even with the use of nvme m.2 performance won't improve that much as only Bohomia Interactive are the only one who can really fix and improve the games performance or even utilize newer hardware.
Like 80% of the arma will still run on 1 core :( The engine is really outdated, but arma 4 will be out soon enough! imo in 1,5years, or when being optimistic at the end of this year :) Thats my personal opinion from what I am seing..
@@Hardcore_Operator ArmA 4? hmm I guess in 2024-2025. But i am really upset with that old engine. Arma 3 should ran on better engine. If I could I would rengined it.
It uses as many cores as you got for it (well probably not 16) but it just doesn’t do a *good* job at it 🤣 try setting the CPU priority for your arma3.exe to the max level in task manager (I think it’s under the programs tab in the expanded view)
BRO YOU ARE THE MOTHA FING GOAT BRO THANK YOU SO MUCH. The memory allocate was the key i had all my graphics to what i knew should boost and it never would. this boosted my fps 38 intensive combat alot of mods btw to 80 fps and somehow looks better. i had been trial and erroring mods one by one trying to find culprit to no avail. And i knew my pc shouldnt be struggling even with as many mods and content. this was why i think arma was only using like half my ram
Thanks for the excellent vid. Some good, concise info there. And you certainly don't muck about with flowery presentation or extraneous bullshit. Nice one. :)
Really strongly depends on your system. On my old 1070 system one of those custom memallocs gave me a nice 10% boost but on my newer laptop it did nothing at all
When I'm playing with my friend by server host internet and there is a machine gun car firing me always I got 1FPS and get very slow! That problem could be the server? (My pc: Ryzen 9 + AMD Radeon Graphics 2GB + 32Gb RAM + SSD 500GB + Windows 11)
@@Hardcore_Operator Muzzle flash glitch is when the render setting is wrong. A server FPS can also tank from number of players, but also the type of scripts in some mods being used on the server.
koth is a shitplace.. Gamemode itself is drawing a lot of power, all of the AI etc.. engine is having hard time handling all the shit that is going on :/ Its really old
Well, if you have like 16 gigs, imo, you could sacrifice like 6gigs just for arma, it rarely uses event hat much anyways, it is very old engine.. Enfusion engine is advancing, so arma 4 is not that far away :)
V-sync is be off in all games, it caps ur fps to ur screens refresh rates meaning it'll cap at 60fps and if it drops below that it could then cap at 30fps. having it on only removes screen tearing which in most parts of play is unoticable
I personally have vsync ON in almost all games, not in fast phased FPS games as it slows down your input, but it makes the game look smoother. This option is more opinion based
it actually stabilizes your fps and saves resources by capping your fps, unless you have a 60hz+ monitor you wont notice the difference so just either use an fps limiter or vsync
Just a heads up to look into the large page support, though to use it you need to enable lock paging in your local group policy which can be pretty technical, helps boost my FPS up a lot. For me I went from 15FPS on YAAB to 20FPS. Which is great for what RAM I'm using, as this game relies on single cores and RAM speeds p much. Very happy! Thank you for the video, though it only managed to juice out 2FPS for the video settings as I think my GPU is not a bottleneck.
@@StealthCheatz use a different memory allocator with large page support 👍but you need to enable it as a group policy in windows or it won't do anything.
Seems about right, in sp missions it should be booming, but it is also very mod and mission dependent. If you are using a lot of mods + mission is done badly, welcome to garbage performance squad
@@Hardcore_Operator Its ok...i fix it somehow with 2H22 windows update or a C++ FIX maybe, seems stable now 75 90 fps on ultra sometimes some drops when loading stuuf, thanks anyway for the video and the answer.

Using this + lossless scaling makes your frames EXTREMELY better.

cool video tnks for the tips

Very well said, I can advise to use CH view distance mod where you manually set view distance with keybinds

Nice Video Mate!, Straight to the point. I Like it
