Arma 2's performance - some kind of bad joke ?

I play OA on spec in sig with mostly high settings, I think it performs quite admirably considering the scale and scope of the game.

Its not a fast paced game so I think I'm more forgiving about the performance, if it was a twitch shooter yeah I would be annoyed.

I also notice I get better framerates using third person view for some reason, something to consider.

3rd-person view disables some of the post processing, so that might account for that.

Ah I play with post processing off as it looks like someone has smeared the screen with vaseline.

I remember the frustration of trying to get the AI to cross a bridge in OFP and Arma. It simply would not. Have not tried in Arma2 as it just don't seem as interesting any more.

The most fun I had was taking advantage of the dodgy physics and 'tossing' cars across the map with a couple of satchels of C4.

Mine performs excellent. i get mostly above 40fps in most scenarios/maps/missions

Recently changed my ddr3 speed from 1600 to 900 and noticed it seemed to lag in game a lot more often, top fps wasnt affected.

Especially when zooming in it would drop to 20 or less which sounds a lot like the problem described

Since it does appear the game can use a lot of memory, probably pays to make it as fast as possible
