Benchmarks: Very Loftier Quality Preset

Running Arma 3 on very high quality at 1680x1050 produced surprisingly low frame rates for the mid-range GPUs. The GTX 650 Ti Boost averaged only 36fps for instance, while the HD 7850 managed just 35fps -- unplayable by our standards. Even the HD 7970 GHz Edition but managed 49fps, 3fps faster than the GTX 760 and 8fps slower than the GTX 680. With the GTX 770 narrowly exceeding 60fps, it seems Nvidia'due south loftier-end GPUs are the fashion to get, though Crossfire seems to calibration better.

Increasing the resolution to 1920x1200 brought fifty-fifty more than cards to their knees, with the GTX 650 Ti Boost falling below 30fps and the Hd 7850 faring only marginally improve. If you plan to play at higher than 40fps with these settings, you'll demand at to the lowest degree an Hard disk drive 7970, while the 7950 Boost and GTX 760 will at least get you in the ballpark. Even the GTX 770 was limited to 51fps, while the GTX 780 only vicious brusque of 60fps -- a target the GTX Titan managed to striking despite its less than stellar results of 65fps.

You lot'll definitely desire to tap into SLI or Crossfire if you're going to play at something in the territory of 2560x1600 or higher, as the best performing single-card solution (Nvidia's GTX Titan) averaged just 45fps -- the aforementioned issue offered by dual GTX 660 Tis. Producing more than than 60fps was no like shooting fish in a barrel task. It was only achieved by doubling up on the HD 7970 GHz Edition or GTX 770, and just by 4fps in those scenarios.
