Ok so I have seen many twitch streams like timmac and I have gotten really interested in arma 3 but I have one huge worry before buying the game. It is if I'll be able to run it with decent fps. We all know games aren't fun if it is always laggy so can someone help me determine if mine wiwill work fine. I also run 3 monitors which I do not know if that decreasession fps but that would be good to know if it does.
specs:
750ti gigabyte edition 2gb
amd fx 6200
8 gb ram
asrock extreme 970 r2

I've seen online benchmarks but they are all over the place and they are all in ultra graphics which I would love to run in but if I can't get a smooth playable fps I don't want to run it in that so all in all can i run the game in any resolution with a good playablearning fps. I also stream alot and would like to stream it so would I be able to?
 
All I know is that ARMA 3 is quite CPU intensive as well and GPU intensive. Even if your GPU can keep your head above water, I would suspect your CPU will let you down here. If you also throw 3 monitors and streaming into the mix, then I would say you're gonna have a bad time. Time to consider upgrading your rig.
 
Well I'm not trying to expand the game across all screens I just want to play it on one...does that change anything? Should I look into over clicking as I do not have the money to upgrade?
 


If your budget is too tight to consider upgrading at the moment, then you should be able to get ARMA3 running ok on your system. You will definitely want to consider overclocking your CPU specifically, but keep a close eye on the temperature increase while attempting this, and make sure your system is well ventilated. Here are some benchmark stats for your card running ARMA3, albeit the test system is using a more powerful CPU, but your rig should pump out 30-60 fps as long as you keep details lower and AA low or off, and draw/object distances low too.

The good thing about ARMA series is that it is very grfx scalable, and you should be able to get it running well with some details tweaking.

 
I can run DayZ Standalone on a LAPTOP. My specs are Intel i7 4700hq 2.4 GHz Nvidia GeForce GTX 765m 8gbs ram and 1tb hdd. The modlel is ASUS G750JW BBI7NO5. If i can run DayZ Standalone on a laptop 30fps stead you can play ARMA3. PLUS i played Arma 3 on my laptop with 30fps Steady also. So most likely you can run it to.
 


That laptop has in many respects a higher spec than a lot of desktop systems. An i7 and a GTX765 with 8Gig of RAM is not a bad setup. That laptop probably cost more than most desktop systems when it was released.



 
Ok well I'm just going to take my chances and bu it because it is 50 % off and I will not have enough for the full price. I am also sure that the game will stay popular for a little bit so when I get home today I'll purchase it and reply back how it goes with the solution. Thanks guys!
