Wondering if your PC can run Arma Reforger? It’s a demanding milsim, but more forgiving than its reputation suggests. This guide lists the Arma Reforger system requirements and what they mean for performance.
Minimum requirements
- CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 (or equivalent)
- RAM: 8 GB
- GPU: GeForce GTX 1650

What actually matters for FPS
Arma Reforger leans on your CPU — large Conflict battles with lots of AI are CPU-bound, so a fast processor matters more than a top-end GPU. 16 GB of RAM is the comfortable target; 8 GB will run it but is tight in big servers. An SSD helps load times. If you’re chasing frames, the AI count and view distance on the server matter too (that’s a separate thing from your PC — see our server FPS guide).
Console
On console there’s nothing to spec — Arma Reforger runs on Xbox Series X|S and PS5. See our console guide.
Hosting is separate from your PC
These are client requirements — what you need to play. Hosting a server is a different job with its own (CPU-heavy) needs; see our server requirements guide, or skip it entirely with managed Arma Reforger hosting.
