Will Armed Assault run on my system?, Post your specs and we'll tell you. Options

I think I found out your problem.
It's not enough RAM, you should upgrade NOW.
With 2mb, you can't even play ugly CS 1.6

(na, I know you meant 2 gb, or at least I hope so)

I guess you've an AGP, so you can chose between some options :
1) Buy Crads for AGP much more expensive than PCI-e
2) Buy a new mainboard and a new porcessor for a PCI-e Videocard
3) Buy an old mainboard for your old processor for a PCI-e Videocard

Thanks for that. I take it then AGP cards are not much cop. I have tried changing AGP settings, in game I found I crash at 8x 4x is more stable.Ive never tried turning them off completely though may give it a go.
So if I go for a 512 AGP card (any tips) will my athlon be able to reap all the benefits of the extra 256 that I will be getting.Or is my processor just not gonna be able to cope with some of the games out next year because its too slow.

[Blackbuck]

whats wrong with the ATI radeon 9250?? does ArmA runs with it?
Anybody knows if the ATI x1300 is AGP?

i need an AGP card that can run Arma, do you know about one??

thanks!

No it doesn't work with the 9250...

Mine is going out the window very soon.

[Blackbuck]

Well I've decided on my stuff I'm getting.

Geil Ultra DDR2 2.0GB PC6400 Dual Channel memory kit (2 x 1GB) 800MHz

bit Fatality FP-IN9-SLi Motherboard LGA775 nForce 650i SLi Intel Core 2 Duo / Quad processors ATX

Sapphire Radeon X1950PRO 512MB DDR3, PCI-E, Dual DVI, Retail

Intel CPU Pentium 4 D 945 Dual core 2x3.4GHz 800FSB LGA775 2x2MB cache

All look sound ?

[Deadeye]

yes

yes

yes

yes

With this kid you will be able to play arma on the highest settings

[Blackbuck]

*Grins* Just a matter of finding the remaining £70 i got 350 atm

[Deadeye]

Oh wait, the CPU aint a Core2Duo? Is it an older C2D processor?

[reVealR_2012]

Helo all,

Three PCs, first one runns the game with perfection but the second and third I have not tested yet and was wonder what you guys thought.

First is a Quad Core running at 3.2gh x4 w/ a single 7950gt w/512 ram and 2gig of DDR3 OS is Vista Ulamate.

Second is an Intel 850GB Socket 423 @ 1.3gh adapted to socket 478 @ 2.8gh w/ 1.5gh of RD Rambus and a GeForce FX5950ultra w/ 250 of ram OS is XP PRO sp2.

Third is an Intel 850GH Socket 478 @ 2.4gh w/ an FX 5950 ultra 256 ram and 2gh of PC2700 OS is XP Pro sp2

Thanks Everyone!!!

FX cards and ArmA aren't a good combination.

Do I undersand it correctly you overclocked the 1.3 Gh one to 2.8? Nice.

[reVealR_2012]

I tested the 2.4 P4 w/ 1gb or ram and FX5950 ultra last night. It will run the game in VERY LOW smoothly and it is playable in LOW but anything above that is just to choppy for a vet player.

As far as the 2.8 I will test it out tonght... I look forward to this one as it has been around scence the iseption of ofp.... although she has gone threw major sergical reconstruction in order to be useable w/ modern gaming.

The chip itself is not overclocked it is an actual 2.8 Northridge P4, however the original 428 socket has been fitted w/ an inexpensive addapter that allows for the use of any 478 chipup to 2.8 gh... some say 3.0 but I have not seen a 3.0 tested yet. The only reason I use this board is it is rock solid and I realy like RD Ram.... ha ha I know its old and out dated but so am I.

Hey all, new to the forumn. NICE.
Asus K8V SE Deluxe mb
AMD 3200+ processer
1.5 gig ram
160 gig hd
Ati radeon 9550 video AGP

My question is: I want to upgrade my video card to a Sapphire ATI Radeon X1950 Pro.......
Will this run good on my system after I replace my video card?
It runs on it now with my 9550, LOW settings everywhere.... Sooooo choppy you can't play though.
Thanks in advance

[Sgt.Eisen]

Arma runs Permanently at 50FPS at verry high settings

My System:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
Intel D975XBX2
4Gb Kingston Hyper X 800 EPP
Western Digital Raptor WD1500ADFD
Ati 2900xt

@Wingman
I think it runs good with the X1950pro and your System.

[Toukairin]

I'd like to ask whether my system-to-be would run the ArmA :
-AMD X2 ?? (i forgot the whole detail)
-Mobo : DFI infinity ?? (i forgot too )
-RAM : 2x512 MB DDR2 PC5300 Corsair Value ~making it 1 GB RAM
-VGA : Zotac 7900GS DDR3 256MB 256bit

I'm going to the computer shop today to upgrade... i only have like $200 to buy with, in which i'd like to buy Zotac 7900GS and another 512 MB DDR2 PC5300 Corsair Value to fulfill the system req.above...

Would this system at least run with all settings normal(or some of them high)? Pardon my english, i'm in the south east asia...

If i were to buy 2 GB of RAM... i'd not have any money to buy a VGA card that suffice and ending up having to stick with my onboard GeForce 6150....

I need a quick reply, for any replies , thanks!

Hm yeah, well I suppose X2 means dual core? Should be ok although ArmA doesn't support dual core usage atm.
atm I'm also running on 1 gig ram but PC6400 (higher frequency), but for playing on Normal 1gig should be sufficient
The VGA might be a weakspot, but an 7900GS should be just enough to get arma running fine .
(just my intention, don't blame me when I'm wrong)

My rig :

E6600 Dual Core CPU
Geforce 7950 GT 512MB
Gigabyte DS4 Mainboard
1gig ram PC 6400

Weakspot ? I have a ATI Sapphire X1600 Pro, which is the equivalent of a Nvidia 7600. I can run ArmA smoothly on normal settings with shadows and AA turned off (even in North-Sahrani). My guess is that the 7900GS will run ArmA on normal/high settings (?). Besides, I heard the 7900GS is a easy card to overclock.

[Smoke86]

I'm sure its time to get a new computer, but......

LAPTOP (yeah ugh!, worked good for playing Americas Army and JO/JOE in Iraq)

Pentium M (1.5g)
512 Mb Memory
Raedon X300 (128MB)
60 G HD

I'm sure it won't run ArmA, but I figured I'd ask smarter people than I on this.

Thanks

[Focha]

Here are mine:

P4 2.8Ghz
1536Mb RAM (2x256 plus 2x512 both dual channel)
SATA 160Gb HD
ASUS ATI Radeon X1600XT 256Mb DDR3 (Catalyst 7.5)
WinXP SP2

Can it run well? Or maybe I have to upgrade something?

Best regards.

My newly built computer specs are

620W cosair psu
xfx 650i ultra motherboard
E6600 core 2 duo 2.4 ghz processor over clocked with onboard nvidia ntune software
bfg 8800 gtx 768 oc2 dvi graphics card
2 gbytes of cellshock ddr2 pc2-6400 800mhz dual channel kit ram
asus v60 cpu cooler
19 inch mitsubishi diamond pro 900u monitor max graphics 1600 * 1200

windows home edition 32 XP
dx 9.0c

I cannot run this game at 1600 * 1200 * 32 - it crashes after 5 minutes so I run it at 1024
* 768 * 32: my visibility is set to 1200: most advanced setting are at high except antialaising and filtering which I have set low. Game can still lock up on me. Is it true that armed assault does not support the core 2 duo processor ? Any settings advice welcome.

Because we have lot of "computer and what if -threads" lately, I opened up this thread.

Feel free to post your computer specifications here to tell us, how ArmA does run.
Furthermore we can tell you if your PC meets the minium requirement and what has to be upgraded.
ArmA runs smooth for me with average 30 FPS on following system (settings are high to very high):

AMD 64 X2 4000+ with 2048 KB L2 Cache (AM2)
Asus M2N-E nForce 570 Ultra Mainboard
2048 MB Corsair TWIN2X DDR2 PC800 RAM
Asus EN7950GT Geforce 7950GT

Windows XP Prof. SP2
DX 9.0c (latest version)

Installed on a 4 parition 250 GB SATA2 HDD.
Game drive has 80 GB left





ForceWare 93.71 driver
AntiAliasing 4x
Anisotropic Filtering 8x

[benadams169]

I have AMD Trion 64 x 2 TL-56 (1.8GHz/1MB), 1 GB of ram, ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 with 256 MB Hyper Memory, a 24X Xombo CD-RW/DVD, and Window Vista Home Basic. Will this be able to run ArmA? And if so how well?

[Jukka]

This site is pretty handy. Just choose the game(ArmA is there too) and you wil see how good the game will run on your computer.
