G F 1470 Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 When I play arma 3 no matter what server I go onto my FPS stutters and drops to around 3fps and then goes back up also this is sometimes combined with the texture bug fix that gets enabled, I will list my specs underneath this if you guy's have any recommendations or feedback or even anything that could possibly help please comment it below. It really does effect my gameplay and limits me to how I can perform. I have already tried messing with my in-game video settings and have also researched for a solution but can't find anything helpful enough. Im coming to the conclusion that it could possibly be a memory leak but I am not entirely sure.

The disk reaches 100% but I often use the run command WRP -cancel to lower it for the time being were as the memory it's normally at around 70% but I can't seen to reduce it. 8 minutes ago, ThatNerdyGuy said: Processor isn’t powerful anymore, 8gb shouldn’t be an issue but having an SSD will help FPS What ssd would you recommend.

Senior Developer codeYeTi 780 Posted July 16, 2018 Senior Developer Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 What's your graphics card look like? Or are you using on-board? Is your CPU getting thermal throttled? Why do you have so much swap memory configured? 1 Quote Link to comment

It's not being throttled, also I have no idea on why I have so much swap memory configured or even how to solve it. If you haven't figured it out yet I don't really know what im doing ahahaha. Also it's not onboard I have a GTX 1050 Ti. Quote Link to comment

Longsly 0 Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) While an SSD will help improve his load times... it's not going to do much for his FPS. Your cpu is throttling your gpu not allowing it to perform at its max. You need to replace your motherboard and get a new cpu. That will increase your frames way better than a new SSD. You might also want to look at how much power your computer needs overall. I recommend an i3 8350k. It's overclockable and will still perform decent with your 1050. You WILL have to switch out your motherboard to buy that processor. Also make sure that your graphics card is getting enough power to supply both the card and cpu with enough left over for everything else. Edited July 17, 2018 by Longsly Quote Link to comment

Thanks for the response, also how would I makes sure that my graphics card is getting enough power and stop my cpu throttling? Edited July 17, 2018 by Tempah Quote Link to comment
WhoIsKimchi 7 Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) Go to your gpu specs and check how much volts, a i3 8350k only takes 90v, would recommend a 600 power supply, and get a z270 motherboard, if you ever want to upgrade be better Edited: also prefer to have more ram, prefer another 8gb ram Edited July 17, 2018 by WhoIsKimchi Quote Link to comment
