I've never come across any such term before.

I frequently play Arma and understand it's heavily optimized, making it tough to achieve high FPS regardless of setup. I've reviewed many FPS fix videos, but they all suggest similar launch settings or maxframes without clear explanations. Do you know of any adjustments I haven't tried yet that could improve performance? Your profile would be really helpful. Thanks!
Operator drewski created an excellent video on this topic, but it seems very low quality. It appears he managed only about +1 fps despite keeping his settings unchanged. For better results, consider building a shrine with neophorons and ifrits to boost frame rates.
The issue isn't client-side; it's server-side. If you're seeing poor FPS in singleplayer or the editor, your machine is likely the problem. The lag on servers comes from running a full client that must load the entire map while handling player actions. Some servers offer better performance, but Arma struggles with multiplayer compared to others. DX12 promises improvements, though I'm skeptical about real change.
Yes, it's not always about a bad PC. You can review your specs, and I still don't see a steady 60 even in single-player...to be honest, I also load many vehicle mods and often have a Nimitz with several planes when I play in the editor.
It seems the client-side frame rates are limited by the server's capabilities. Someone should optimize the dev for speed.
Frankie and other YouTubers achieve high FPS through optimized settings, efficient hardware, and skilled gameplay techniques.
I see you're aiming for smoother performance. Checking your settings and adjusting them could help reach at least 30 fps. Since you're already on low settings, try increasing the resolution or reducing texture quality slightly. Also, look into disabling unnecessary background effects or optimizing your graphics profile. Let me know what changes you try!
Through my setup I consistently achieve scores above 60 in single-player and I'm handling more than 50 mods.
In Arma 2 you can achieve solid FPS performance, the servers operate differently which makes it simpler for clients to run. For Arma 3 content, video processing is heavy but there are methods to smooth the experience. Running at cinema FPS (around 24) often feels fluid, and you can boost it to 30-60 without noticeable lag. The gameplay isn’t overly fast-paced and most moments are pre-recorded.
