Recommended settings

Upscaling — FSRQuality+35% FPS

Arma 3 renders at a multiple of your resolution (Sampling). Lowering it is the biggest GPU-side lever — but note Arma is mostly CPU-bound.

Overall VisibilityMediumbaseline

How far the whole world renders — the heaviest setting in Arma and a big CPU cost. Medium transforms FPS on large missions.

Object VisibilityMediumbaseline

How far buildings, trees and units draw — also heavily CPU-bound. Lower it alongside Overall Visibility for the biggest gains.

Shadow VisibilityMediumbaseline

Shadow detail and range. Medium is a good balance; High is costly over large areas.

Terrain DetailMediumbaseline

Ground mesh and clutter detail. Medium keeps sightlines fair without crushing FPS.

Cloud QualityMediumbaseline

Volumetric cloud detail. Lower it if flying or in heavy weather.

Anti-Aliasing / Post-ProcessLowbaseline

Edge smoothing plus bloom and blur. Many players keep these low for clarity and frames.

Texture QualityHighbaseline

Surface sharpness — cheap on FPS if it fits your VRAM.
