I went to UCI and I would travel to San Diego every couple of weeks . God I hate that freeway . <| sep |> This pretty much . It ' s really a Your Mileage May Vary kind of game . I have an i 5 6500 , which , I know isn ' t the beefiest CPU around , and a 1070 , with 16 gbs of RAM , and I typically get 2030 FPS in multiplayer , regardless of how high or low my settings are . I ' ve gone through and done all the various FPS tweaks , and it ' s made very little difference , and even then , if I was to spend some money and upgrade to an i 7 or something , from all I ' ve read I ' ll likely see very little increase in performance . I saw no performance increase at all going from a 970 to a 1070 , since GPU basically doesn ' t matter at all to arma . The game is just poorly optimized , and how well it runs is very dependant on the server , amount of players , vehicles , AI , scripting , etc etc . I ' ve had some servers where I get 4060 FPS , some where I get 2030 .
