I just recently bought arma 3 because it was on sale and I thought that i could run it decently smoothly on med settings at least. However I constantly get around 25 fps in high preset settings and only a 5 fps increase when in low preset settings. I have a gtx 970 and an FX-8350 processor. Any tips on good graphics settings or ways to fix this?

Edit: Just went into a altis life server and I only get 15 fps. WTF is going on!?!?!?!

This one is a very easy solution, let me give a little insight here.

I use to have an almost identical system to this
Asus crosshair v
fx 8350
8 gb ram
Msi gtx 970 (overclocked with the frequencies in my signature below)

Fx 8350 is the problem with this game, The lack of single threaded performance in literally every single amd chip at this present time really hurts it

Arma 2/3 is horribly optimized and NEEDS single threaded performance which is why intel is highly recommended for the arma series

P.S. When i upgraded to the rig in my signature now, my framerate tripled in arma 2 and 3 (between 55 to 80 in arma 2, between 60 to 120 for arma 3)
