While I definitely would appreciate more frames in ArmA 3, it should also perform better in the majority of other games.
I can spend 150€ every month and the biggest question is the CPU. Is it right now better to switch to AMD? If yes it would mean I also would need to invest in a new mainboard.
If you want frames in Arma you need a monster CPU. I upgraded my GPU to a 970 and the difference was marginal, upgraded the CPU and it got me up to about 40 frames (on a good night!). If I was to suggest a CPU it would be intel, more specifically whatever CPU Serjames is running! I can't imagine it being cheap tho.
I watched one of your uploaded streams the other night SJ and I've never seen someone sustain that a high a frame rate in Arma! Mine usually starts to drops off after like a half hour or so.
Yeah, I got a GTX 960 and had sort of 20fps standard, then a short while after upgraded my cpu to a i5 6600k and thats when I noticed a massive frame rate increase, now comfortably sit above 30-40, and thats with me pushing the view distance a little etc, I could probably happily get more out of it.
TL;DR - Mefirst I would recommend if you can spend 150 a month, wait a few months and save around 3-400 then grab a nice solid i5, a 1060 & some ram or something.
