Not bad! not bad at all! @Screenfacer

I got 173fps 1080p standard with the new multithread physx profiling branch, haven't tried malloc yet, we're getting close to 200
Bass Junkie 20 Nov, 2024 @ 9:04pm 
@ Screenfacer king malloc 2.17 lock pages .dll
right click arma 3 properties then betas then selct perfomance build

google how to set windows to lock pages in memory its pretty easy

set arma 3 video settingd to 1080p standard pre set apply

one the benchmark yaab start his key press S once on key board

make sure no baack ground apps , vsync off fps cap off clean boot it for best fps
Screenfacer 20 Nov, 2024 @ 5:04pm 
I've got 9800X3D, 4090, 64GB DDR5 6000. Willing to run benchmarks. What tweaks/malloc/settings are people using these days?
Bass Junkie 12 Nov, 2024 @ 11:29pm 
scroll back i post what settings i used

14900 ks 6.2 ghz x 8 cores ( HT off ) - E cores on @ 4.7 ghz , Ring 5.2 ghz
48 gb ddr5 8,600 mhz cl 36

always 1080p standard settings

@Bass Junkie, 1080p and what preset? ive seen so many results from you but never knew which preset you even use
ZombieSon 11 Nov, 2024 @ 6:59am 
What surprised me the most is that the theoretical single-core performance of the X3D series is not outstanding, but the actual game performance is not inferior to Intel. I am curious if anyone has tested it with u9 285K?
Bass Junkie 10 Nov, 2024 @ 1:01am 
@ grazed not 1440p highest settings....
we run 1080p 1920 x1080 then when the yaab starts key press s

use the latest malloc 2.14
use the lates perofmance build under arma 3 proeprties then beta then perfomance build

make sure windows is lock pages in ram google how to .

once you haave done those 4 steps run key press s opnce it running and send us a
new picture please

post cpu speed / ram speed or tuned timmings s owe all can compare properly

slash4321 26 Oct, 2024 @ 4:41pm 
I think you should also state min FPS, not just medium
Bass Junkie 20 Oct, 2024 @ 9:31am 
remember to state if using key press s default yaab settigns or using all low settings ect ...

There's something I must be doing wrong here...
I'm rocking 14700k with 4080 super & 5600 DDR5
I'm getting +/- 80 FPS.

Using Mimalloc Lock pages...

What else am I missing (I am on 1440p if that changes anything)
Vulpecula 6 Aug, 2024 @ 11:07pm 
@Toby_283 definitely 7800x3d. The performance would be similar. My 7800x3d can get above 135 fps which around what you'll get with 14700 but it does this while staying cooler, using less energy and more importantly, staying stable. Intel 13 and 14th gen CPUs are failing en Masse right now and it looks like a big deal.
Toby_283 31 Jul, 2024 @ 5:44pm 
hey guys Ill be building myself a new PC (mostly for arma 3) and I need help with the cpu. Im curently deciding between the i7 14700 and the ryzen 7 7800x3d. As I said its mostly for arma and I just cant find any info anywhere alse about the performance in arma. Thx for help.

Mr Gramm what cpu speed and ring cahce speed ?

6.4 - 6.5 ghz ? 5.4 ghz ring clock ?

Bass Junkie 7 Dec, 2023 @ 3:48am 
sperg it would be so close you could oc to 5.5 - 5.8 ghz p cores easy maybe less ram speed vs 14900k since imc prob worse but nothing you would notice
Sperg 4 Dec, 2023 @ 6:28am 
@Bass Junkie I'm also quite curious to see what a i5 14600k would do, maybe someone will have the time to test one
Sperg 4 Dec, 2023 @ 6:23am 
@Bass Junkie Damn dude, that;s pretty insane... 14900k seems to be the way to go so far.
But I think I would rather wait for the 16900k :steamhappy:

Low 22
High 48
Average 32.6

I have no idea why it's so low. Even on fresh load I get texture popin for a second before it's fine for second/third tests. I tried doing some of those other options mentioned in other comments and I still can't even touch 60 FPS at all even at the start when dumping quality hyper low.
I'm stumped. I think This might be the lowest mark mentioned here

Running on an AMD Ryzen 7 7700X with an ASRock RX7900XTX Phantom Gaming OC...
The test runs between 50-90fps...
It only uses about 20% on the cpu and 50% on the gfx card...
I guess the game is getting too old for modern pc's...
Bass Junkie 2 Oct, 2023 @ 7:01am 
try a clean windows boot , no discord , no audio app , no chrome back ground , close out all back ground stuff task manager , try a diffrent ram maloc ?

1440p. Standard settings. only 91.7 FPS avg, 152 fps high, and 61 fps low. Not sure what's going on here... i9 13900k, no overclock other than turbo 5.8ghz, 7200 MHz CL34 DDR5. I believe CAS latency is 36-40-42-34.

Why is my FPS so horrible compared to every other comment?
AeRoTR 9 Sep, 2023 @ 10:06am 
1440p more or less same result, this game only works on cpu.
