ARMA3 Stutters with low FPS, how do I fix it?

Yes,I have ArmA 3! My specs are : i7-6700 HQ @2.60 GHz- up to 3.50 GHz ,16 GB DDR4 RAM and Nvidia GTX 960 M 4 GB GDDR5 !

And some members from the Bohemia forums,told me that these specs,especially my RAM are not enough for it!

I am experiencing some boring stutterings and 1-2 FPS drops even at the lowest settings!
What would you reccommend to me??

I have also overclocked my GPU!

They might be talking about your GTX 960M 4GB Video Ram. IMHO that should be more then enough for it.

Also your laptop might have Nvidia Optimus, and you might be trying to game on the onchip GPU. Be sure to switch to your 960M

But I have switched it to the Nvidia
 
For Arma 3 you want high clocked processor, really fast RAM and game installed on SSD.

16GB of RAM is plenty. Arma 3 rarely uses more than 8GB. Your problem with RAM is it's speed.
Your CPU is just too weak for this game.
And i highly recommend slightly faster graphics card with at least 6GB of VRAM.

I have spent thousands of hours in Arma 2/3 and i have tried many, many different setups on this game.

Ok,but please tell me,what can I do to play the game with less stutterings and FPS drops, with my current hardware?
 
Arma 3 is highly single core/high clocks dependant.
It's also regarded as one of the shittiest optimization a game has ever gotten.
The only thing you can do is make sure the cooling is on point to be able to hit those boost clocks and not throttle.
 
IPC and high clocks are what matters. A GTX 970 will about max out ArmA 3 from a GPU perspective. Going to a 1070 did nothing for me. You want the latest Intel CPU and OC it as far as possible.

With luck an ArmA 4 has an entirely revamped engine.
 
To add, a slow internet connection can cause performance issues with the game as well.
 
You won't get much if thermal throttling, a 960M is a low grade card even compared to a 290, drop your detail settings or resolution, if the laptop has the right ports you could get an EGPU.
