Low gpu usage in arma 3 ?

[Wilko_Dog]

My spec is in sig , playing arma 3, all settings in afterburner are at stock, but the gpu usage doesn't go above 50% ish .. and the core clock only goes to 800 max , when the stock is 1000, i5 means my fps is around the 40 mark Tomb raider and other taxing games max both those out , is it something I'm missing or is it the game itself ??

Ah I see , this was just in single player ?

Not tried the multiplayer yet

In that case, turn up your graphics settings until the FPS drops. Turning graphics settings down in ArmA games just loads the CPU, making things slower still.

Turn them up ? That will mean less fps?

You're CPU limited in Arma3. My x58 bloomsfield struggled to feed my GPU's in that game also.

What's my best option to get a steady 60fps then ?

Cheers will have to look into it later on , my ram keeps playing up (6gb with 4 usable )

for my nvidia card i set in the driver options to always be at full performance in arma so the gpu doesnt downclock itself

Can you do this for amd ? If so how ?

 

[Wilko_Dog]

No I have not tried those , thanks a lot will give them a try next time I'm on

Do I put those exactly as they are with the = signs ?

-world=empty -noPause -noSplash -noLogs -nolauncher -maxMem=7144 -maxVram=4096 -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=8

open steam in game library click properties of arma 3

set launch options

paste that line in there presuming your rig is one in sig you'll be needing 4 cores 8 threads, you can put whatever memory you wish not sure arma 3 can even use over a certain amount I just use 7gb because I have 8gb ram

there are other tweaks you can do like maxframes ahead etc google arma 3 tweaks and you'll find it all, and whilst your at it download arma 3 launcher and paste the same startup parameters in the settings of that

Cheers that, will try it hopefully this weekend when I'm home
