Yes, as minimum I recommend: ATI 1600 or Geforce 7800. It may run properly on older VGA cards aswell, but these are the current "standard". The 8800 is currently the highend, with that one you are one the safe side for this year wink.gif

If you recommend an ATI 1600 you'd better recommend a GeForce 7600 as they have comparable performace. Also it makes a lot of difference if you have the 1600 Pro/XT and also the GF7600 GS/GT differ a lot. (sorry for bad english)
found that out after reading some benchmarks...

hope i'm right as i'm going to purchase a GF7600...

the ATI 9250 is waste of money imo...for 100 dollars or less you can have an X1300!!! that's way better
or an nVidia of course 7300 or something like that

I have the Czech version patched to english and find that my ATI X800X 256mb rund ArmA very nicely indeed.

Apart from that running 3.2Ghz P4, 1Gb RAM (sorry I have no other details, I'm on a mine site).

ATI X800X highly recommended for ArmA.

Thanks.

Processor: Intel® Pentium® Dual Core CPU 3.20GHz
Memory: 2048MB RAM
Hard Drive: 300 GB
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7500 LE - 512mb Memory
Operating System:
Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2
------------

First version of game was unplayable on even very low settings. Now on very low settings I get 25 fps in an average fight with about 20 people and a small town.
I know the problem, its my graphics card.. i'm looking for a new one but just picking a good one is the main thing. I'm thinking Nvidia GF 7600 - 7800 if I cant find a better price on the new 8 series.

The cheapest ive found for the Geforce 8 is £380 w/ VAT. Just wait for the R600 to come out and it should drop quite a bit, or just get the R600 and get a better card.

You dont want to play ArmA with something slower then a x1600XT (which you can easily get for those 150€ smile.gif )

@Jason, hope you learned to never buy a dell anymore wink.gif

A nice trick for SLI users to imporove performance is to go to the root folder, and rename your arma.exe (not sure of the name, I have the demo tongue.gif) to FEAR.exe
FEAR is a stable SLI-using game, and makes full use of the technology through fooling your PC into thinking it's running a SLI-using game smile.gif (apparently)
Worked wonders for me, I'm currently playing all settings @ V. High and getting 30-40fps constant (apart from the inevitable mass foliage areas where it drops to around 20-25) laugh.gif

You may check different benchmark checks before buying a VGA card. Higher numbers not always mean more power wink.gif

Sapphire X1600 Pro 512MB DDR2

Ok, So I got the demo and It was rather unplayable. Even with the lowest settings I still got video lag.


3.00 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4
8 kilobyte primary memory cache
512 kilobyte secondary memory cache

241.98 Gigabytes Usable Hard Drive Capacity
WDC WD1600JB-00REA0 [Hard drive]
RADEON X700 Series [Display adapter]
1024 Megabytes Installed Memory

Is it my video card?? For serious... WTF.

Im missing out on the greatest game ever.

Its probably your x700, they are quite slow.
What is your FPS in
1. Desert
2. Forests
3. Cities
(download FRAPS if you cant see your FPS)

I'm running ArmA - newest version - on a nforce2 mobo based Athlon XP 2400+ system with 0.75 gigs of memory and a Radeon 9800 pro 128mb - no serious lagging or problems yet, a lot smoother than some other new games (like F.E.A.R Extraction point). On pretty low settings, of course, but it's very playable and that's the main point for me :-)

Of course my Windows installation is fine tuned and hard drives are defragged and other basic stuff to make sure I'm not wasting resources.

actually i'm using a Geforce 7800 GS AGP, and forget the 9250, it's to old.
The problem with agp is the cars are much more expensive, my geforce for example ist worth 240 Euros

AMD 64 3400 (2.2GHZ)
2mb ram
256mb rad 9800 CAT drivers 7.3

the game is terrible even on low slow fps, jumpy,blocky colours all wrong white sky......

If i chose to go for new 512 rad card would this make a difference bearing in mind i wanted cheaper option instead of new pc. I just upgraded ram from 1mb to 2mb.
Or am I throwing away more money and my AMD is just not worth updating and I should go for one of these new dual processor super pci fandango things next year? with 2 graphiocs cards in it!
