Speed? Performance? why no clues to changes before release??

jk. I am curious about performance problems -- I assume there are threads around here or elsewhere to look at?

most people with low-average machines seem to be just happy that it actually runs on their machine i think, and if it stays above 15fps on average they seem to be ok with that.

Personally, im not happy with that level of performance. It seems ridiculous that my 4ghz P4, 1gb RAM, and 6800GT@ULTRA speeds cannot manage a minimum frames per second out of the high 20's, and averaging between 29-35 with a reasonable level of zoom.

It isnt a unique problem, look at the many tech sites around and their gaming/support forums and this problem is across the board.. mostly voiced from people on high end/enthusiast PC's as that is where people notice games issues/performance problems the most.

One consolation Lamorak, the good ol' US gets this game first again ( that's a surprise ) so you can judge whether or not to buy the game from the comments raised.
If run inf speeds are changed I'll definitely get it but playing mainly MP, there is no way the demo speeds are going to work.

yea, will be good to see feedback first i guess, but there is no way i can pass up on getting RTW the instant it is out, i just couldnt lol

I think i might even play the single player campain to

Dude - what have you done to your rig??? Maybe it's just crappy NVidia that needs a driver tweak. I got less horsepower than you and I've just run the demo with FRAPS in the background. I'm running everything maxed out at 2048x1536x32 and getting 25-35 fps

If I were you, I take off, nuke the rig from orbit - it's the only way to be sure.


BTW - Athlon XP Barton 2500+: R9800 Pro: 1024 PC3200. NOTHING overclocked.

This rig runs all other games at the standard that is to be expected of it, and the OS is tweaked to the bone. Theres something either nvidia or CA's side that needs to be sorted for us 6800 users, and fast.

overclocked.

if you'd seen my posts in other threads (mainly apothecary) i have always maintained that it could partly be driver issues (a lot of the complaints are with 6800's, but NOT all)... and tbh i hope it is. However, as stated above for ME 25-35fps isnt good enough.
