    It's been a while so I went, installed Arma 2 OA plus the BF pack and PMC pack that was released. Patch 1.59 applied.

    I hit the benchmark mission 8 once I adjusted my config for no render frames ahead.

    With the m15x, i7-720qm stock, 5850 @ 750/1000, CCC 11.4
    Arma 2 settings - all items normal, shadows high, no aa or af. view distance 1600m.

    Score was 44fps. I remember my old score being 35-37 fps. I dont know what has been done to optimize the engine but I am going to spend some time playing this now.

    Almost won an I7-920 this morning on ebay. oh well...

    Back down to 37fps with everything on normal and high shadows. I think for some reason after all the loading and updates it was loading low texture models on normal. I am still going to try and give it a whirl again. After seeing all the Battlefield 3 vids I need something more than BFBC2 and Homefront to quench my thirst.

    Later,

    Lol.. nevermind again. Didn't realize that the config had been updated to incorrect settings so I re-updated it and set it to Read Only. With Visability at 1600m 48fps (normal/high).
