I'm assuming this is because the game is CPU dependant.

This shit happens to me all the time and it's so frustrating, it goes the other way too.

For some games I can turn the resolution up to 8k (downsampled) and get zero difference in FPS, but in other games I bump the resolution up to my native (1440p) and it drops from like 140fps to like 50.

What the fuck.

Man a lot of these problems would be fixed by DX12 since it can offload a lot of cpu heavy things to the GPU.

The only regulation computer part have is a thermal one. As long as you don't go over a certain temperature or restrict the max framerate it'll dish out as much as it can.

That's what competent V Sync is for. If you have a 60hz monitor you absolutely have no need for 4000fps and decreased component lifetime.

The only thing you get out of having a framerate higher than your monitor's with no V-sync is screen stearing, unless your framerate is an exact multiple of your refresh rate all the time.

Oh, I see. Yeah, it makes sense, although I'm not entirely wrong.
Basically you'll still get screen tearing, but one of the images composing your screen will be more recent if you're at a higher refresh rate.
I get it. I don't think it's so good though, you'll still get a fucked image.
>>
>>343059224
Actually it isn't, you do still reap the effects of a lowered input latency if you play at a framerate higher than the refresh rate of your monitor, however there is no visual effect, that requires the framerate and refresh rate to match.

Let's plays can be good in some situations

some games that never get translated can be enjoyed through a translated Let's Play

There are some games that are genuine shit in regards to gameplay, but have an interesting plotline or atmosphere. Like Drakengard or NieR.

Speedruns or special challenges can make it very interesting. Like playing Super Mario 64 with the least amount of A presses possible.

Some games (shitty ones) offset some things normally rendered by a GPU to the CPU when you choose a lower graphics setting

Which also leads to the game running like shit because most people have a great GPU but a shit CPU in the first place, or the game doesn't work with extra cores so having a great CPU is pointless

The base engine ARMA uses is fucking years old and building one from scratch takes serious effort (and licensing one would effectively mean starting from scratch as well) so you are fucked.

Remember that ARMA III is still basically running off the engine that powered the first game which is now over a decade old.

>>
>>343084303

Bethesda games murder cpus because the base engine they use is still a million years old, despite what they may have claimed about FO4.
>>
>>343084896
Why is it that every new GPU and every new cutting-edge-graphics game focuses almost exclusively on showing off lighting and shadows? I think, from a programming perspective, it must be really goddamn hard to do and they still haven't gotten it to work right. Never mind that it's looked the same to the end user for like ten years.
>>
>>343084896

Shadows - especially for open world games - are often rendered even when off screen because of their effect on other objects that are within them and potentially on screen.

>>343085109

Moving shadows to gpu (as opposed to cpu) is a good thing as gpus are much, much better at the job.

So the CPU is used to power these settings like shadows, AA, resolution. When you lower them, the CPU isn't less taxed. How do you figure that?

>>343090008

MSAA doesn't catch everything in most modern games anyway due to deferred shading. The "best" AA method (and most performance iontensive) is straight up supersampling.

>>343090445

Even if overall performance is lower the delta between the various chips shouldn't change too dramatically.
