Man, my single core computer is getting more and more out of date every day! I saw a computer in WALMART sitting in the middle isle that costs 400 bucks that is better then mine. I may have to start thinking about upgrading if I want to play arma 2 or any other new game for that matter. I've had my current computer for 8 yeras I'm kind of attached to it : ( I've considered upgrading the mobo/gpu,cpu/ramm but I don't honestly know if I'm capalbe of something like this. Also my dvd/cd/harddrive are all pretty old, I duno if a newer mobo will accept them, but alas I'm veering mostly off topic here.

If anything I doubt the specs will increase, they may actually decrease. The better a game is coded the less the requirments are normally.

I can run the current ArmA fine. Its the A.I. that start to drain the performance for me. The bigger the maps and conflicts, the more I start to experience sound stutters and what not. I just hope they've worked to make the A.I. in ArmA II less stressful on the system

System requirements for ArmA2 are as follows:

Minimum Requirements:
• Dual Core CPU (Intel Pentium 4 3.0 GHz, Intel Core 2.0 GHz, AMD Athlon 3200+ or faster)
• 1 GB RAM
• GPU (Nvidia Geforce 7800 / ATI Radeon 1800 or faster) with Shader Model 3 and 256 MB VRAM
• Windows XP
• DVD-ROM drive
• 10 GB free HD Space

Recommended Requirements:
• Quad Core CPU or Dual Core CPU (Intel Core 2.8 GHz, AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ or faster)
• 2 GB RAM
• Fast GPU (Nvidia Geforce 8800GT / ATI Radeon 4850 or faster) with Shader Model 3 and 512 MB VRAM
• Windows XP or Windows Vista
• DVD-ROM drive
• 10 GB free HD Space

Or in other words: the faster, the better :)

And just before someone asks, the releasedates:
Germany, Austria, Switzerland: May, 29th
Czech Republic: June 17th
Rest of Europe: June 26th
North America: TBA
Rest of World: TBA

Woohoo! My new rig:

AMD AM2 Phenom Quad Core 9950
XFX GTX280 DUAL 1 gb
Will be able to run arma on high! YAY :thumb Thanks BI :)

Oh cool, my system can run it, my big hope though is that it's WAAAY more optimized than arma since arma was (and still is) shaky on a lot of middle-hardware

I can run the ArmA II with High settings! :yes

I can too! I bet I will get a bad FPS on Full though :P

Anyway, that release date is amazing if correct (delayed / whatever), right next to my last exams :D

Would an ATI Radeon 4890 and AMD a 2.2GHz Quad core run ArmA 2 on high??

i'm going to upgrade seeing as my pc was probably outdated the day i got it...
would i be able to run this on high with
intel q8200 core 2 quad prcessor 2.33 ghz 4mb L2
geforce 8800
4gb ddrii ram

Hi,

I have a ATI 3870,
I was thinking of going crossfire and having 2. Does ARMA 2 support this? if not I better get a new graphics card!

Thx
Luckysnipe

Well this sucks :( Won't be able to run ARMA 2 and been waiting for this game since it got announced :((
Stupid graphics card is one model out of the min requirments. Had same problem with ARMA 1 when it came out. So not fair :(

Well go buy an ATI Radeon 4890, that shuld do it..its only like 400 Aussie bucks

I'm sort of glad that the ArmA II release in the U.S. is a bit slower. It gives me a little bit of time to upgrade so when it actually does release I'll be able to go out and get it no problem

So I take it my computer may run this??? LOL

i7 Quad Core 2.88
12 Gig DDR3 2000 Ram
8800gt video Card
Windows 64bit
with track Ir5

aww crap, my Graphic Card doesn't meet the Recommended :(
GeForce 8500GT ^^
Nah, I'll just play it on the other "Monster-PC" :)
