Ok, here's the problem. Arma is so poorly optimized.

BUT many of the things that will determine whether or not you will have a good FPS:
1. Amount of players on the server
2. In-game settings
3. Which mod you're playing
4. The map you're playing on
5. Where you are on the map
6. How well the mod is optimized
7. Your specs

Now, that being said, your CPU is not good enough... at all.. I don't believe you will have a pleasant experience. Sure, you might be able to play it, but I guess it's all up to your tolerance to low FPS.

Hello Ian_33,

Arma 3 is a game that requires more processing power from the CPU.

Your current system will run Arma 3.
Running at lowest settings could yield some very playable frame rates. Changing or disabling more demanding settings like PIP (Picture-in-picture) and Anti-aliasing would help out. For multiplayer servers, you may have to reduce settings slightly. Arma 3 tends to drop frames when trying to handle lots of players on larger servers. In the settings menu of the game, it will show the FPS you are getting with the current settings, adjusting and finding a frame rate that works for you is the best way to do it.

An upgrade would help out, but if you are okay with running at lower settings (I had to do this for a while before I got myself a new system, it's not that bad) than your system will do it.

Hopefully this helps,
-Nick

Thanks. As I expected. I'm planning on upgrading my cpu and mobo. Would an i5 4760 be good enough?

Yes, that will do you well for Arma 3 and other games.
