💡 Arma 3: Heavily CPU-bound milsim - View Distance and Object View Distance matter most on large missions.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable DLSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 64 FPS, at 1440p about 55 FPS, and at 4K roughly 31 FPS with optimized settings. The single biggest improvement is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
