Thank you 😉 Why is this sub-reddit all pink? Gay pride? Just-kidding.

I’m asking for an average FPS. That tells me that I can, but not the Frames Per Second.

The GTX 970 will easily max this out at most resolutions.

Ok, and can you estimate how much FPS I will be getting? And, a question about Arma 3, is it badly optimized or is my computer not strong enough to run it.

You can easily max it out. My 280x, a lot less powerful then your card, can max it out on highest settings

Arma 3 is cpu/hdd hungry. So it depends whether you install it on an ssd or not

BF4 will run at 60+.

That’s good to hear. I tried the Battlefield 4 “game time” offer and it says I’ve already used it. So, instead of testing first I’ll just buy it straight up now that I know I can run it.

This is pretty much my rig. I lower settings to get a locked 145fps@1080p but on ultra I average around 90ish depending on map and server. 60fps is more than doable.

I have a R9 280X (equivelant to a 770), and I’m maxing it out just fine.

Just don’t have more than 2x MSAA. Rather have no AA, you’ll hardly notice it and it will buy you 5-20 FPS depending on where you’re looking at.

I have exact same set up - except I have 3770K CPU.  
I have settings mixed w Ultra & High.  
I average 90FPS at 1080res.  
You will average 60FPS with no issues.
