ArmA III Megathread - Games

So can anyone tell me if my laptop will be set on fire? SPECS AS FOLLOWS: Intel i7 2630QM 2.0 GHz And HD 6770m 1 GB 8 GB RAM

Recommended: 7750 I have 6870, I still have a feeling it will run like shit.

Are system requirements final or subject to change?

I wonder how my 2 6970s will handle it.

I'm going to purchase it even if I run it like crap on my current computer: [t] http://i.imgur.com/fnb7dzh.jpg [/t] Arma 2 ran pretty decent on my computer.

The pics still have a tiny bit of the fuzziness that was present in Arma 2, but overall it looks terrific.

It looks like it has that "Battlefield 3" tone to it..

You guys think my laptop can handle this game? (Dual graphics card) AMD A8-3500M APU with Radeon HD graphics, 1.50 GHz 6gb RAM

[QUOTE=Kath;39780652]It looks like it has that "Battlefield 3" tone to it..[/QUOTE] Nothing looks tinted blue to me.

I hope this game doesn't lag so much online. Could never find a server under 200 ping in arma 2.

[QUOTE=ijyt;39779414]Oh man, such a nice change from blue.[/QUOTE] I know most people won't reciprocate this feeling, but I really like the futuristic weaponry and vehicles in this game.

No, you won't be able to play it; I don't think.

Of course real performance will differ, but I would not be too bothered. Of course the power drain of the 6870 is a lot higher because of the older manufacturing process. 40 nm vs. 28 nm

Well apparently the auto-detection system is a lot better, and there is a lot more room to tailor the video settings to what you think is a good trade or balance. I just hope they will optimize it some more, I mean I am not expected to run this game on all high or anything, but I am hoping to run it at least a bit better than arma 2.

Which I'm sure is doable now just not feasible. So I don't get why people are opposed to some slightly advanced tech.

I'm really hoping my rig (i7 920, 12 gigs of ram, and i think a 280 (I'm going to get a 7970 though, this runs too hot)) can run the alpha decently.

I, for one, love the concept of throwing current and planned tech in the people in the arma community opposing are just sticklers for realism, nothing wrong with that definitely wager that someone will make an addon which cuts the available tech down to current day standards, and if ACE is picked up again I'm sure there will be an option within that

Do you guys think that you will be able to tweak some "settings.ini" file and enable super-low settings? I did that with Planetside 2, and I need to know if you can do it in Arma 2/3.

[QUOTE=NoDachi;39771399]Oculus Rift isn't going to have the desired resolution. You'll be severely handicapped. Not yet anyway. We'll see what the consumer version actually is like. And with the eyes on screen head turning thing? Its never a problem because it's not 1:1 movement.[/QUOTE] Surely because of the 3D effect, ARMA will be rendered twice for each eye? Thus killing your computer. I have two 7950s but I am still cautious about this.

I will stay with my TrackIR.

[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;39782699]oculus people say you [I]need [/I]60fps locked at all times (no drops at all) or it'll give you motion sickness yep[/QUOTE] I get motion sickness under 60FPS anyway.
