(I myself run this) ( -high -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=8 -maxmem=2047 -noPause -nosplash -skipintro -world=empty -nologs) Your launch options should read like this for quad-core systems. world=empty Starts up the game faster as it loads empty level. noSplash Gets rid of the intro stuff at startup. noPause Does not pause the ArmA window when alt-tabbed in Fullscreen window mode, good for multi-taskers and streamers. maxMem = set this to 2048 or about 1GB (1024) less than your maximum RAM, I am not sure if higher values have an effect. high sets ArmA 3 as a high value CPU process. exThreads = use 3 for dual-core and 7 for quad-core and only if you have an Intel CPU. cpuCount = set this to however many physical CPU's you have either 2 or 4. You can also use the startup parameters to increase performance slightly by right-clicking ArmA 2 in Steam > Properties > Set Launch Options and entering the following. GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1 This may help smooth your frames and/or increase performance. Vsync: Off unless you are experiencing screen tearing or have a very high spec computer that is always 60fps+ r efresh=120 This will make VSync work better if you need it. Interface Size: Normal+ if you want to be able to read the degrees on the compass. Postprocess Effects: Set to Off or Very Low, Low+ enables motion blur of which there is too much for most people. PPAA: Set to FXAA - Low, other settings don't seem better. HDR Quality: Set to Normal, higher settings are purely cosmetic. Shadow Detail: This setting can result in a moderate to major performance hit, use as needed. Object Detail : As Terrain Detail except this also influences the distance at which you can spot men, however unless you are zoomed in or using optics they will still be difficult to see. Terrain Detail : Up to your system specs, use as needed but generally either Low or High. Video Memory : Set to Default otherwise ArmA will not use your card fullyĪnisotropic Filtering: Set to Very High, same reason as Texture DetailĪntialiasing: Using this setting will result in major performance hits unless you have a fast CPU/GPU combo, use low if you can as anything higher seems a waste.ĪTOC: Disabled for performance, else either all trees or all trees + grass with a good CPU/GPU. Texture Detail : Set this to Very High unless your graphics card has less than 1GB RAM then incrementally go down a setting per ~256MB
