arma 3 on laptop slow fps

[Hoot~SPARTA~]

hi

had new laptop so installed arma3 fps was ultra low 8 fps on multiplayer.

laptop specs are

• CPU: Intel Core i7 4700MQ
• RAM: 16GB Kingston HyperX Genesis 1600MHz (2x8GB)
• SSD: 120GB Kingston SSDnow V300
• HDD: 750GB Western Digital Scorpio Black SATA (7200RPM)
• GPU: Nvidia GTX 780M 4GB
• ODD: 4x BluRay ROM/8x DVD-RW Combo Drive
• Network: Killer Wireless-N 1202 Dual Band/Gigabit LAN/Bluetooth 4.0

so more than capable of playing the game so added no splash etc did the gpu one i read about still the same,so tried the single missions straight away 45-50+ fps running on ultra so all fixed i thought nope on servers back to 4-8 fps this stumped me for hours then realised it was using the default onboard graphics for server sided games only, so went into nividia gforce experiance 3d settings changed settings to use to use the 780m job done went into a server with high fps in the title played a pistol game 40-50 fps

hope this might be of use to any one with same problems

its a mess indeed

 

CFG file (profiles)

multiSampleCount=4; (u can reduce to X2 or 0)
multiSampleQuality=0;
particlesQuality=0;
GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1; (this really coud help)
GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1;
HDRPrecision=8;(this is best setting )
vsync=0;
AToC=0;
cloudsQuality=0;
pipQuality=0;
dynamicLightsQuality=0;
PPAA=1;
ppSSAO=0;
ppCaustics=0;
tripleBuffering=0;

 

-------------------

 

sceneComplexity=750000; (if u reduce this to let us say 100000 (or less) u will notice difference)

see if this helps

 

(and look into PARK CONTROL )

Or alternately, with those settings you could just play an old 8bit game on an atari cos it would probably look better. I have to say, I just can't understand why anyone would buy a new game and then turn it so low that it would probablylo ok worse than the previous game.
