***ArmA 3 Thread***

I asked this question in the squad thread but never got a reply, maybe they thought I was trolling them.
From watching youtube video's, squad looks like an Arma ripoff without the scale, maybe with better graphical effects. The game play looks simplified with the squad interactions and so on, again that looks like something that could easily be modded into Arma. Am i way off the mark or am I missing something?
I didn't quite put it as bluntly as that
Its deffo not a Arma ripoff, Squad comes of the back of BF2 mod Project Reality, been around like 10 years, Squad has better graphics as it uses UE4 engine, best engine out there in my opinion, it is very easy to get straight into game and join a squad, unlike arma, hence the game name Squad, remember Squad is still a Early Access Game, and not even a beta yet, and still better than a lot of triple A titles in my opinion, loads to come to Squad yet, i play both Arma 3 and Squad, but prefer Squad myself overall, but am enjoying new Arma 3 Official map, i guess Squad gameplay could be modded to Arma, some players that play BF2 Project Reality, are making a mod for Arma 3 based on Project Reality, go here https://twitter.com/RealityArmA also discord here Invite: http://discord.me/pra3

I'm a squad player that has just started playing Arma, the two are nothing alike IMO.
Apart from guns, they both have guns.

It's a great game and there's so much coming. Get your headset on, turn on mic and get involved.

To be fair, I just use the editor and make my own stuff up to shoot. but the 1070 very nearly gets me double the FPS over my old 290X .
.
How the hell you get 140fps, i have 6700K clocked 4.5 all max 1080P, i get like 90fps max normally 55/70, MP 35/60

^^What is your graphic card and memory speed ?
I showed over 200FPS till I upped all the settings to max, IE every one of the drop down menu's I chose the bottom setting.
My FPS is from the in game video settings options where you change settings and you see the FPS go up/down.
16 GB DDR4 3000, and a gtx 780ti, faster than a 970 and just below a 980, i know 1070 you have is better, but this game does not make massive difference what gpu you have, its all about the cpu.

Yes, in the editor or running a game made in the editor when making GFX changes settings as that's where I spend my game time.(so very little on the map just what I've added)
Might be something wrong with the FPS readings as its a new comp with nothing but windows10 and Arma3 on it.
@Day, I've similar 16GB DDR4 3200.
