| Re: ARMA2 Settings Personally I have also dicovered that: CPU=4 does make a difference to me, so I use it. Terrain settings cripple frame rate the most, so should be first to be sacrificed for performance improvements ![]() Agent = Hardware Homosapien | Zak33 = Hardware Homonid - just call me "Lucy" |

| Re: ARMA2 Settings Not sure why this works, so I won't guess. But for me it's made a noteable smoothness difference online. Set the Interface resolution in game to match your monitors res, BUT INCREASE the 3d resolution to 133%. You can do it ingame, it only takes a few seconds to reload, and it LOOKS lush, and it moves much smoother. I don't know why and am not imagining it.. I promise. More noteable on my ATI than on Bish's 260GTX, but he's sticking with it cos it looks amazing and is no slower. I tried 125% and 150% and both were still smoother than default, but 133 seems best. I think that gets the "Very Weird Award" for this week. Increase detail to increase smoothness ![]() Agent = Hardware Homosapien | Zak33 = Hardware Homonid - just call me "Lucy" |

| Re: ARMA2 Settings The general consensus at .:iGi:. is that it seems to work better on an XP install too, so if your a die hard fan, get it installed on an XP install |

| Re: ARMA2 Settings agreed. Just installed standalone XP for this game and performance is about 25% better. Much smoother frame rate too. ![]() Agent = Hardware Homosapien | Zak33 = Hardware Homonid - just call me "Lucy" |
