80 player on a server - workaround?


Capwned

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

running Arma as follows:

 

CPU:  AMD FX-8350 8 x 4GHz

RAM: 16GB

GPU: NVIDIA GTX 770

 

Arma is installed on my SSD (if that matters somehow).

 

I'm playing on GPDE02 with 50 players max and i always have 40-60 FPS on somewhat low/mid settings. And I'm quite happy with that. I Never experienced some drastic frame drops. Even on a 80 players server i have constant FPS. View distance is a real frame killer, so i keep mine somewhere around that point, where no changes happen on the horizon (usually around the middle of the view distance slider).

 

What are your Startup params?

 

Cheers

My start param :

 

-mod=@Epoch -nosplash -maxMem=8192 -maxVRAM=2047 -world=empty -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=7

 

My Rig :

 

CPU : AMD Phenom Black Edition II x4 955  3.2 GHz

GPU : EVGA Geforce GTX 470 Superclocked+

HDD :  Samsung EVO 250 GB SSD

RAM : Corsair Vengance 8 GB 1866 MHz

OS: Win 7 Profesional 64 Bit#

Mousepad: my desk

skill : my brain result in very high

 

lol when i compare my rig to SmokeMcPot.....same FPS like he with my 4 year old Rig  :D

 

 

any ideas to upgrade my parameters ?

and fuck no, don´t tell me: upgrade your Rig....

 

btw, can anyone explain me what this exThreads is for ?

 

i used a Parameter generator.....

 

thx in advance  :)

Why would you take any parameters which you dont know how they work or what they result !?

I read that you shouldnt go over 2048 mb ram. Arma doesnt take more. Of course i hit in my 16gb. After that i had like stuttering 30 frames. I turned it back to 2048 and it went well again. :P

My parameters:

-enableHT -maxMem=2048 -maxVram=4096  -noBenchmark -noLogs -noPause -noSplash -world=empty


Enable HT stands for hyperthreading. If activated dont use max.cpu.cores!!

I guess ex threads is the amount of virtual cores you got. CPU count 4. 7 virtual cores.

Just remove those options if u have no idea what your cpu actually does.

I will try the hyperthreding parameter.

 

The mod´s should make this post to a sticky or we should create a tweak guide thread with useful and helpful parameter.

 

What you could try too is to reduce/deactivate post fx. If I'm not mistaken, that helped me to get some extra fps. But not sure on this one.

-nosplash             

Disables splash screens.

 

-world=empty

For faster game loading (no default world loaded and world intro in the main menu, only at game start, disabled): -world=empty.

 

-skipIntro

Disables world intros in the main menu permanently.

 

-maxMem=<number>

256 is hard-coded minimum (anything lower falls backs to 256). 2047 is hard-coded maximum (anything higher falls back to 2047).

 

-cpuCount=<number>

Change to a number less or equal than numbers of available cores. This will override auto detection (which equate to native cores).

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma3:_Startup_Parameters#cpuCount

 

-exThreads=<number>

Change to a number 0,1,3,5,7. This will override auto detection (which use 3 for dualcore and 7 for quadcore).

 

-noLogs

Be aware this means none errors saved to RPT file (report log). Yet in case of crash the fault address block info is saved.

-enableHT

Enables the use of hyper-threading CPU cores which might slightly improve performance in certain scenarios. Note that this option may be overriden by -cpuCount so if you want to use maximum number of CPU cores use -enableHT without -cpuCount.

================================================

 

I would use on none HT CPUs with 4 cores:

 

-nosplash             

-world=empty

-skipIntro

-maxMem=2047

-cpuCount=4

-exThreads=7

-noLogs

 

================================================

 

I would use on HT CPUs:

 

-nosplash             

-world=empty

-skipIntro

-maxMem=2047

-exThreads=7

-noLogs

-enableHT
