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

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... By feb - march i should have 512mb DDR RAM -1024mb 128b ATI radeon 9250 - something under £100 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 |

The 8800 is currently the highend, with that one you are one the safe side for this year 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.

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 ) 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 (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) |

You may check different benchmark checks before buying a VGA card. Higher numbers not always mean more power -------------------- Former "Uber"-Administrator.

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 -------------------- Schüchtern.

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! -------------------- AMD Athlon 64 3400 2gig RAM 650w Atrix PSU Saphire Radeon X1950 512mb AGP |
