Video memory, it's the most tricky thing, because you're actually setting whether it should be somewhere completely else, you're setting how much video memory is dedicated to the game. Even things like chunks of data, if you have very high quality, it's a bigger chunk and it's easier to load.īuchta: Yeah. If it's on normal, it's run by the CPU, if it's set to high it's on the graphics card. Because it puts everything onto the CPU.Ĭrowe: Yeah, like shadows for example. Hall: : But part of the problem is, people think, “Oh, I've got a moderate system, I'm going to set everything to low,” but you can actually get bad performance from doing that. So then somebody says, “Why would I put it on stupid? Just put it on high.”īuchta: Maybe we can rename the options to "reasonably good," "pretty okay," "really nice," and "insane." Turn down the view distance, maybe? The simplest thing I might do for graphics settings in Arma 3 is rename "very high" to "stupid." And then just bump everything down. These guys really want to have great, great cockpit resolutions, so you're going to have to increase their 3D resolution, but they're going to have to sacrifice something else, because then the graphics card is working 150 percent. We really started to take on a bit more with Take On Helicopters. There's a lot of things that can completely break the game. It's definitely giving a lot of power to the players to break their own game, and that's true of modding as well. If you can run Arma 2 you can run Arma 3.Ĭrowe: I could easily have broken the E3 demo just by putting view distance from three to six. You can have one setting be wrong and it ruins the whole thing.
#ARMA 3 PUSH TO TALK UPGRADE#
Everyone's saying they'll need to upgrade their computer-you'll need a reasonable graphics card, but the average user doesn't need a latest-generation graphics card.ĭslyecxi: One part of it, also, it's so easy for people to set their settings wrong. If you can run Arma 2 you can run Arma 3. Hall: : I mean, my personal computer isn't anything kick-ass. In fact I'm going to print out that DirectX config, post it up and say, “Guys, this will run smooth, we're happy with it.” It's all little bits of good components, overall, that make the game smoother. I think 560 on an i7, 3.2GHz or whatever? The SSD helps.
My system that we captured the videos on, that's a special one. What were you guys running Arma 3 on at E3?Ĭrowe: 580s and i7s.
