PIP can half your frame rate while in or close to vehicles, even when on lowest quality, I suggest you just turn it off and take the loss of rear vision mirrors in cars

I went from 50-60 frames to 80-100, thanks for the help. Although there is a couple settings you recommended that are counter productive such as hyper threading. This just lost frames for me so i turned it off. Thank you for the guide tho you helped a bunch. To anyone debating it, definitely get process lasso. Ive had it for a while now trying to boost frames in tarkov and it definitely works.

As someone with a cheaper pc and just averages 100-200 fps on the menu, knowing the engine work, it just makes me know how new you are.Go in a 80+ player server. See FPS then, that's the only true gauge, because they kept single-threaded networking. Getting smooth FPS in singleplayer is way easier than with players in multiplayer. They were known for covering up and tweaking this detail for years, banning people, until finally acknowledging their issue, thus why they are trying to take the leap to a multithreaded engine. Still 35 to 40+ fps in online is all you need on this game on any setup.

Your thread is complete nonsense. Why do you leave the object view distance at 3800? Set it to 1500 (slower cpu to 1000- 1250), that alone will quadruple your fps. Foresight on 2500-3000, bip off, terrain and objects on standard... I play at 70 fps. And setting it via the launcher only helps very badly, maybe +3 fps.

@nannertime

Жыл бұрын

3800 is useful is you fly vehicles high. Definitely set it lower to max out FPS, unfortunately, it does not affect my FPS much at these levels. But, also, there is the Perceptive mod in my Quality of Life mods video that overrides this problem.

You can also set your launch options to allow more cpu cores, threads and limit your system memory and gpu memory limits while running the app. I have an 8-core cpu with 16-threads, when enabling the extra cores and threads, my fps went from 25 to 60. Doesn't seem like much but Arma is and has always been CPU labor intensive over GPU intensive like Battlefield or COD. Offloading extra resources from your CPU to your GPU by making some settings changes "May" help. When Bohemia actually starts to either develop an engine that utilizes both CPU/GPU or adapting to an existing one like Unreal or CryEngine, We won't see FPS above 75 stable without fluctuations. Also consider that the Arma engine is almost 20 years old.

On a busy server, I can go from 1km, to 10km view distance and the FPS difference is 1-3 FPS on a 4070ti.
