You will find your FPS to be different between the menu and in-game. I capped my FPS to 144 which is why my menu FPS maxed out at 144. In-game FPS varies lower in-game depending on AI, and single core CPU use. Find more COMPLETE mod sets on my Discord server: discord.gg/Wb7Bfd5cGA Post your FPS before and after below!
1. Follow this video's steps. 2. Compare FPS in Vanilla servers vs Modded Servers 3. Lower View Distance until FPS is acceptable 4. If you can't get FPS to be acceptable, uograde the PC
The Beta Performance Profile states, Code Invalid, as of 10-16-2022. Tested @07:04. Must add, Performance Beta is now a tab selectable option, No longer requires a code to access.
Thank you so much. Arma 3 has always been one of my favorite game but because of the bad performance, I just couldn't play. Because of you I can enjoy this game again.
Thank you for the video. I have over 1,000 hrs in Arma and now I can finally play with smooth frame rates. The Lasso tool, automatic view distance, and simple video settings worked best for me. You da man!
Wow 😮 bro thanks a lot for this tip, I’m on my 3rd or 4th Generation built PC and still have trouble running this game going to share this with a lot of my buds my rig 4x more powerful than mine and struggle! And works fine over my Ryzen 4.8ghz and 64gb DDR4 / 5700 XT setup :)
This for sure helped me. Was running 55 fps with no action all the way down to 20, but after this im running 80-90 and 60 fps in the action.. Thank you!!!
thank u so much bro... i have very similar specs your computer is almost the same build as mine, and this guide helped me out so much. I'm gonna share this video with my Arma unit so they can also get the performance increase
I went from 50-60 frames to 80-100, thanks for the help. Although there is a couple settings you recommended that are counter productive such as hyper threading. This just lost frames for me so i turned it off. Thank you for the guide tho you helped a bunch. To anyone debating it, definitely get process lasso. Ive had it for a while now trying to boost frames in tarkov and it definitely works.
Thanks for this Knightin every Arma fan needs this information! It always helps to have a decent cpu, enough ram with high frequency, along with the game on an SSD to help with performance its a must have. Arma is to good to be running it on a potato and playing with shit graphics and low fps.
PIP can half your frame rate while in or close to vehicles, even when on lowest quality, I suggest you just turn it off and take the loss of rear vision mirrors in cars
I play ARMA 3 on my laptop as I travel alot and ive never had over 60fps and averaged about 44. I just followed your basic steps up to the point where you did the parameters and checked in the menu and I'm now at 205 FPS. From 60 - 205 FPS that's insane How have I never known about this before.
can you tell me your specs? because i think about buying the game i have a Gtx 970 4gb, I5-2500k(Overclocked), 12gb RAM, and the official system requirements seem to be very outdated
Sure thing. (CPU) Intel® Core™ i7 Six Core Processor 8750H (2.2GHz, 4.1GHz Turbo) (RAM) 16GB Corsair 2400MHz SODIMM DDR4 (2 x 8GB) (Graphics card) NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1060 - 6.0GB GDDR5 Video RAM - DirectX® 12.1 I've had this laptop 5 years now and still runs arma 3 well. Can definitely say these changes helped alot because I play exclusively on my own so I used a ridiculous number of mods at anytime so this definitely helped.
menu fps means nothing bro, you turned on a static main menu image so ofc its going to shoot up in fps, and ofc this option is going to do zero for in game performance.
I understand that the one I mentioned was menu FPS. But I still had significant improvement in game as well so definitely works regardless. Was still getting 55-60fps in game at times where I use to get 35-40fps on average. And if I used it in combination with the view distance mods I'd basically have 50-60 fps almost constantly unless I did something chaotic or used way to many performance heavy mods.
@@Splarkszter yeah because the game is poorly optimized for multicore CPUs despite being made in an era where they had Multi-core CPUs and hyperthreading. Either way it sucks, kid.
As someone with a cheaper pc and just averages 100-200 fps on the menu, knowing the engine work, it just makes me know how new you are.Go in a 80+ player server. See FPS then, that's the only true gauge, because they kept single-threaded networking. Getting smooth FPS in singleplayer is way easier than with players in multiplayer. They were known for covering up and tweaking this detail for years, banning people, until finally acknowledging their issue, thus why they are trying to take the leap to a multithreaded engine. Still 35 to 40+ fps in online is all you need on this game on any setup.
I was going to give up on this game and then I found this video you saved me! Deserves a subscription and a share on twitter hopefully it can help more people 🙏
Thank you for this video, it's helped me raise my fps slightly in ArmA 3, but even after trying all methods but the final one, my fps still doesn't exceed 20 - 25 fps even in singplayer, my specs are above the recommended specs in steam (16 gb RAM + GTX 1060 6gb + i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz 2.21 GHz) and my game is still a slideshow, do you know any causes and/or fixes for my issue?
Hi Toaster! It looks like your biggest bottleneck is your CPU. Arma 3 is an old game that generally only uses 1 CPU core. Many people suggest getting a CPU with >4 GHz. Generally, the higher the better. Look at my pc specs, which is a pretty beefy pc, I still tend to play around 30-35 FPS inside of a singleplayer game.
Nah that does not add up you have a software problem not a hardware one,my specs are i5-3rd generation something 2.0ghz rx 570 8gb 8gb ddr3 ram and i still have 50-60 fps
Your thread is complete nonsense. Why do you leave the object view distance at 3800? Set it to 1500 (slower cpu to 1000- 1250), that alone will quadruple your fps. Foresight on 2500-3000, bip off, terrain and objects on standard... I play at 70 fps. And setting it via the launcher only helps very badly, maybe +3 fps.
3800 is useful is you fly vehicles high. Definitely set it lower to max out FPS, unfortunately, it does not affect my FPS much at these levels. But, also, there is the Perceptive mod in my Quality of Life mods video that overrides this problem.
For me using the Windows memory allocator in the Parameters section ran a lot SLOWER than the default Intel one (66 vs 80). This is good setting for people to double check on their systems. Thanks for the vid.
My FPS went from 60 to 305 on a medium rig (i5@10500, 64gig RAM, GPU RTX 2060 (6gig VRAM)) with just the Video settings. Played without mods. I'll see what happens with. THANK YOU for this video EDIT: Actually played in a scenario with mods. FPS now 70 FPS. It used to be Bout 35. So these fixes are still great.
I tried doing everything in the "video settings" section. Before I tried, I had constant 40 fps that for some reason plummeled into 10s-20s. After doing the video settings section (putting all the settings like you pointed out, after re-defaulting them) it got into 30... I don't know if I did something wrong, or if I have to lower graphics on shadows and other shit HELP
Going to be very helpful for the new mac port! It says its playable on a macbook air M1 laptop, but im sure its not going to have great fps on standard settings.
great video! I will definitely try these out when I have some time and let you know how it went. Question: Do the mods work when I play on a server, for example wasteland? Or will they get disabled? Thanks in advance!
Thanks i had no idea about the mods. also cpu clock speed , cpu ring ratio,and ram speed make a huge difference in arma . if you overclock your cpu and use avx offset to get a bit more of a overclock arma 3 it seems to not drop the clocks from avx but still have stable overclock i got another 200mhz.
Awesome quick, and complete tutorial to increase performance for real, thanks man! About the ISLC, would be better to lower the value set on "free memory is lower than" ? To like 1/3 of your total memory for example?
You can also set your launch options to allow more cpu cores, threads and limit your system memory and gpu memory limits while running the app. I have an 8-core cpu with 16-threads, when enabling the extra cores and threads, my fps went from 25 to 60. Doesn't seem like much but Arma is and has always been CPU labor intensive over GPU intensive like Battlefield or COD. Offloading extra resources from your CPU to your GPU by making some settings changes "May" help. When Bohemia actually starts to either develop an engine that utilizes both CPU/GPU or adapting to an existing one like Unreal or CryEngine, We won't see FPS above 75 stable without fluctuations. Also consider that the Arma engine is almost 20 years old.
@@nannertime nah i playing with ace, kat rhs and few addition addons which destroy arma 3 engine optimization at all ) On my 13700K + 4080 i got from 44 to 88 fps in cherno on chernarus 2020 map. That's sounds great for arma but as optimization it's ruined, about reforger - yeah enfusion looks nice even as mod potential, BUT it has big problem with stability for now, netcode is pretty bad(but same i can say for arma 3 where my publicVarable not synced in MP even after it forces few time to update from server and i need to run manual updater in 2023....), also enfusion still pretty unstable as mod tool, their tool utility crashing on my pc without any reason if i try to setup a map soooo maybe in arma 4 we will see better performance, but i think 60-70fps still will be best, but with better graphic of course.
I tried all the fixes but I still continue to have constant fps drops and frame issues. quick edit: my water reflection setting is broken because I can't select it to turn it down.
One of the reasons I left it out was because Windows Home users can't actually get use from it. But, if it is really significant, let me know and I will add it.
@@nannertime Only time I remember it being useful was years ago when they weren't on 64bit compatibility. The game would run out of memory and force it to use the Large-page file support to keep it stable and prevent the FPS from dropping down to 2fps after an hour or two of play. I used to get that error a lot, suddenly went from 30-50fps to 2fps. Haven't seen that issue in years though. So probably right to keep it unchecked :)
You never mentioned whether or not you are usining (VRR) variable refresh rate/ Adaptive sync/ Freesync/Gsync? i usually run things at 1080p with Gsync on a 144hz monitor.
Thanks for the tutorial! I have a pretty shit pc but the fps went from 15 to 40 fps! The only issue is that I cannot play on the official servers with these mods you mentioned. Well thanks anyway!
Unfortunately, it seems like the beta code is outdated. I hope it didn't affect much. Edit: I just saw the note in the description that it is no longer needed.
Managed to get my Arma 3 to play around 40-50 fps finally. For some reason I expected it to be much higher as I am running a Ryzen 5 5600 with a Nvidia RTX 3070ti
Hi, great video. I'm trying out your guide, but got stuck in the Steam Beta Code phase, where it says "Beta Code Invalid" or something like that. How to fix it?
if u set the max prerendered frames to 1 it does not matter what you write in the detected frames section . The default max is 1000 and thats the only way that 2 detected frames could work . Both need to be 1 in this case .
Beta acces code invalid now, but anyway, thanks for the tips! I saw on another channel the advice to go to Launcher Options - Action after game start - "Close Launcher after clicking play"...what's your opinion on that?
No, it is automatic if process lasso starts on startup and you do not close it. When I installed Process Lasso, I did not change anything on install and now it runs jn the background all of the time. So, technically, yes. Process Lasso needs to be running
I noticed you didn't mess with the System Memopry limit, nor the Video Memory Limit. I am not concerned about fps, but I wanted to get the most out of the 64GB RAM i just upgraded to for another game. By leaving those 2 options unchecked, will that get me the most performace by letting the software figure it out?
I am struggling the find a work around for the profiling code because it seems it was removed, if their is another way to get the profiling w/o the code that would be great since they removed the code needed for the beta tab
Obviously setting Arma 3 at highest or real time could break more fundamental pieces like the OS. Feel free to give them a shot and see if it works for you. Let me know what you find.

Still saving people in 2023 brother 💪
oh damn, got my pc back from bestbuy and all of my settings are gone. this really helped thank you
See you on the battlefield!
The intelligent standby thing and the Process Lasso have to be open everytime i want to play or just a one off setup?
Those programs need to be open every time. You can run them at system startup so you don't have to tinker with them every time you play.
@@nannertime Thanks dude
i used to play with 10-20 fps, halfway through the video i can see 100fps.
I tried all the fixes but I still continue to have constant fps drops and frame issues. quick edit: my water reflection setting is broken because I can't select it to turn it down.
Curious as to why you didn't enable Large-page support? Does that affect your FPS?
One of the reasons I left it out was because Windows Home users can't actually get use from it.
But, if it is really significant, let me know and I will add it.
@@nannertime Only time I remember it being useful was years ago when they weren't on 64bit compatibility. The game would run out of memory and force it to use the Large-page file support to keep it stable and prevent the FPS from dropping down to 2fps after an hour or two of play. I used to get that error a lot, suddenly went from 30-50fps to 2fps. Haven't seen that issue in years though. So probably right to keep it unchecked :)
That sounds right now that you say it. Thank you!
You never mentioned whether or not you are usining (VRR) variable refresh rate/ Adaptive sync/ Freesync/Gsync? i usually run things at 1080p with Gsync on a 144hz monitor.
I run on 2k 144 Hz freesync monitor
Thanks for the tutorial! I have a pretty shit pc but the fps went from 15 to 40 fps! The only issue is that I cannot play on the official servers with these mods you mentioned. Well thanks anyway!
Im glad it worked out for you
Unfortunately, it seems like the beta code is outdated. I hope it didn't affect much.
Edit: I just saw the note in the description that it is no longer needed.
From just doing the launcher, in game settings and modifying the file, my frames went from 60 to 170
I have 6,5k hours in Arma3 and only yesterday I increased a value of my ram from 16Gb up to 32Gb. Definitely it became better.
Managed to get my Arma 3 to play around 40-50 fps finally. For some reason I expected it to be much higher as I am running a Ryzen 5 5600 with a Nvidia RTX 3070ti
really helped me thx
Glad it helped
Great!
Hi, great video. I'm trying out your guide, but got stuck in the Steam Beta Code phase, where it says "Beta Code Invalid" or something like that. How to fix it?
The code works. just change the dropdown to item to profiling
@@nannertime Did that, and the only thing happened in the background is the profile files being downloaded (around 400mb). Still shows invalid.
That's fine if it says invalid. The download you had showed that it worked.
@@nannertime Ah, alright then. Thank you
How do I use the performance mods on servers if they don't allow them?
I did everything in this video and it literally took away 15 - 20 fps from me. Thanks
Hi, thanks for that video but when i check this code, it looks to not be available anymore...any idea ?
😅 CautionSpecialProfilingAndTestingBranchArma3
It says its not working, but it is. Just click back in on the drop down menu and click profiling or performance.
I might have flip flopped the steps
if u set the max prerendered frames to 1 it does not matter what you write in the detected frames section . The default max is 1000 and thats the only way that 2 detected frames could work . Both need to be 1 in this case .
Thanks for your input!
Beta acces code invalid now, but anyway, thanks for the tips! I saw on another channel the advice to go to Launcher Options - Action after game start - "Close Launcher after clicking play"...what's your opinion on that?
You can do it! You might gain a couple of FPS from doing that. (I did gain 2-3 FPS) I honestly should have included that in my tips
You dont need the beta code anymore, so no biggy
thank you and have a question everytime before playing arma 3 i do have to turn on proces lasso?
No, it is automatic if process lasso starts on startup and you do not close it. When I installed Process Lasso, I did not change anything on install and now it runs jn the background all of the time.
So, technically, yes. Process Lasso needs to be running
@@nannertime okay thanks for fast reply
I noticed you didn't mess with the System Memopry limit, nor the Video Memory Limit. I am not concerned about fps, but I wanted to get the most out of the 64GB RAM i just upgraded to for another game. By leaving those 2 options unchecked, will that get me the most performace by letting the software figure it out?
Yes
My beta acces code is invalid.
I am struggling the find a work around for the profiling code because it seems it was removed, if their is another way to get the profiling w/o the code that would be great since they removed the code needed for the beta tab
You should still be able to get it without the code
5:05 Why not High or Highest option? Does this lead to less correct work of the operating system?
Obviously setting Arma 3 at highest or real time could break more fundamental pieces like the OS.
Feel free to give them a shot and see if it works for you. Let me know what you find.
