After Apex release, even if we don't get an official requirements 'Splendid' update, I must recognize that the released "aggiornamento" is welcome. Even if no move has been made for minimum CPUs level and some inconsistencies persist it is a good new.
Here are the updated official requirements for Arma3 :
MINIMUM
OS Windows 7 SP1 64-bit PROCESSOR Intel Dual-Core 2.4 GHz / AMD Dual-Core Athlon 2.5 GHz GRAPHICS NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT/ AMD Radeon HD 5670 / Intel HD Graphics 4000 with 512 MB VRAM DirectX® 10 RAM 4 GB HARD DRIVE 20 GB free space AUDIO DirectX® compatible on-board OTHER Internet connection and free Steam account to activate Dual Layer compatible when installing from DVD
RECOMMENDED
OS Windows 7 / 8 / 10 64-bit PROCESSOR Intel Core i5-4460 / AMD FX 4300 GRAPHICS NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 / AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series with 2 GB VRAM DirectX® 11 RAM 6 GB HARD DRIVE 25 GB free space, SSD / Hybrid HDD / SSHD storage AUDIO DirectX® compatible soundcard OTHER Internet connection and free Steam account to activate Source : Arma3 site
Comments :
* Even if disabling the sexiest "Visual Update" parameters in order to gain some performances is possible, it's still NOT possible to play with a Core2 Duo E6600 or un Athlon II x2 250 based rig even if I must admit the game is running with such CPUs. * The "Intel Core i5-4460 / AMD FX 4300" part is the kind of inconsistency I am speaking of. The Intel Core i5-4460 is a rather good CPU, the kind "you must have" in order to play. The AMD FX 4300 is more or less on par with an i3 2120 for general purpose usage, it can be a rather good candidate for "playable minimum", but here Arma3 gaming wise, it's out of place.
