Burgz Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I'm not really too sure what to get. I need to upgrade my computer because it's really not that great. My FPS on Arma has never really been good, and I'm not really too sure how to improve it, or for that matter even find out what my current shit is, (my brother done it all). So if someone could please tell me how to find out my current shit and how to improve it that would great. Link to comment
Guest Astycc Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Not sure on the how to find current specs, but if you need any assistance in upgrading and choosing parts, feel free to PM me, I will always be happy to help. Link to comment
Lundborg Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Download software like Speccy and that will tell you almost everything about your current specs. Link to comment
John Shadow Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I recomend a good CPU. Arma is very CPU heavy. Before i upgraded, i had about 20 fps. But now i have around 70 Link to comment
Burgz Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 Okay, I'll get this Speccy thing and C+P what they are Link to comment
Guest Astycc Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Oh, and also make sure you upgrade to a CPU which is good with Single-Thread games like ArmA, AMD CPU's are not good with Single-Threading. Link to comment

Daryl Dixon Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 This is how you find out your current specs: - GO to start - Computer - At the TOP there should be a tab called SYSTEM PROPERTIES - From here you can see your CPU and various bit of information information However if you want to go into more depth: - In the menu you are already in on the left there should be a DEVICE MANAGER option - From here you can look at all your specs. For example go to DISPLAY ADAPTERS and click the drop down and it should show your video card. Link to comment

Daryl Dixon Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 From what I can see I wouldn't upgrade your video card because its in that £100 budget range but I will try and find some good RAM or perhaps a SSD. I cant see it being worth upgrading anything else. Link to comment

Daryl Dixon Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Solid state drive, basically its a ridiculously fast hard drive. You would run your games and operating system on this and everything would load faster. The thing is you would have to reinstall pretty much everything and then use your current hard drive for mainly storage. Lets say if you want to record you can run your OS and games on your SSD and record to the second one. If you do this you shouldn't lose any frames when writing the footage to the second drive also your performance should be better. Link to comment
