Will this get at least 60 FPS on Arma 3?

[mikestogy]

Fx 8350 overclocked to 4.8Ghz, gtz 770 sli, 16 GB ram

 

[mikestogy]

On ultra

This build will give you WAY over 60 FPS on most modern games, with ultra settings. No worries.

The thing is, my current build I'm running fx 8350 and a single 770. But on arma I get about 20 fps. Because arma only uses 1 thread, will overclocking it help? If my cpu is my bottlneck, will another GPU "expand" that bottleneck? It's just really frustrating because I know people with similar builds getting like 100+ on arma 3 but with intel. I don't have 700$ to spend on a new mobo and CPU though :/

YOu have nothing to worry about if you have a overclocked to 4.8Ghz. Your fps will be high... very high.

 

[mikestogy]

Then why am I getting such low fps now? Will another card + .8ghz more help that much? Again I'm being specific to arma 3 as it only uses one thread

 

[PeterRupkey]

I myself know that arma 3 is one of the top in graphics, so it should use more than one thread. But idk. That overclocked should give it powerful fps. Was this a custom build?

 

[mikestogy]

Yea custom build

 

[PeterRupkey]

Ummm, what is your video card?

 

[mikestogy]

My current build: 16 GB ram, fx 8350, one GTX 770 not overclocked. Arma 3 fps on ultra - 10-20

My build in 3 days: 16 GN ram, fx 8350 at 4.8/5.0GHZ, TWO gtx 770 overclocked a bit. Arma 3 fps - unknown.

Basically I want a rough estimate on what "unknown" would be.

 

[PeterRupkey]

Umm, that's hard to answer. You need an overclock master in this forum. Sorry I couldn't help. 🙁

 

[AFTGOG]

Alright, so with the new information that you already have an FX 8350 and Arma only runs on one thread.. You should still get over 60, but maybe not much higher. I personally have not tested how demanding Arma 3 is on the CPU, but I know from hearsay that it is extremely intensive GPU-wise, so adding a second GPU should significantly boost your performance. With that, plus the overclock, you should be fine.

 

[mikestogy]

What's weird is I get 0 fps diference from lowest settings to highest settings. 15-20 no matter what.

 

[AFTGOG]

Well, that is strange. That suggests that it is definitely because of the CPU, as there is really no way that changing the settings WOULDN'T alter FPS if it is a GPU bottleneck.
