    Anyone playing Arma III on an i7 4700qm or the like. Just wondering how it performs since it is known to be super CPU limited.

    With my system, on single player is playable 30-60fps in single player but when you go to multiplayer, your fps is all limited by how good the server is, some servers I am getting 20fps ~ on lowest setting, on others about 30~

    I was planning to record a video showing the FPS differences and stuff this week, but moved it onto the weekend S:

    Hmm that sounds bearable as long as you are on a good server. ARMA doesn't need the greatest FPS just good enough to aim smoothly from what I have played.

    Should I get Arma Beta? I am mostly an FPS player on PC (fighting games on consoles). I mainly play CS:GO, CS:S, some BF3 and then single player on almost every other FPS.
