Morgan Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 1. In the NVIDIA Control panel set Max pre rendered frames to 8 (eight) in the Advanced 3d settings for global or ArmA 2. 2. In the NVIDIA Control panel disable Physx acceleration: Control Panels > NVIDIA PhysX control panel > Settings > switch to NO PHysx acceleration ! > click on "OK" Right click on desktop > NVIDIA Control Panel > Set Physx configuration > Select "Disabled" > Click on "Apply" * this works mainly for 260 and newer GPU series resulting in performance boosts in ARMA 2 , yet some 9800/8800 users experiencing smoother gameplay 3. NVIDIA SLI owners can gain additional performance by using EVGA SLI enhancer http://www.evga.com/articles/00463/Default.asp more info and feedback about EVGA SLI enhancer here: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=76369 4. VISTA (64b) users may get way faster/smoother framerate in windowed mode with 186.18 drivers 5. Force VSYNC off in drivers --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durka-Durka~SPARTA~ Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I've got an 8800 GTs and it didn't improve much for my Arma2mark, but I'll keep doing a little tweaking and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 None of the tweaks above is going to give you astounding performance all on its own.... a few extra frames per second maybe. Slightly smoother game play, that sort of thing. The first tweak is aimed at users like me who have the new GT series cards (I have the GT 120...an OEM version of the 8800 GTX)... you are not likely to get much benefit from it since you dont have a GTX (The GTS is the economy version of the 8800) and there may be enough differences between the two that your card doesnt see much improvement.

Cylawyer~SPARTA~ Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 8800 GTX 768mb --- Nvidia Control Panel doesn't have the first setting. For that matter, I don't have the second settings either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) Update your driver or download the newer control software if you want to try the control panel tweaks. keep in mind though, those tweaks are meant for a different series of cards.
