Frame Rates of Graphic Cards in RTW

Those of you wondering how various cards stack up in RTW might find it useful.
Great find RH!

Rome is definitely a CPU bound game. All those soldiers have their own little AI routines working for them, the more soldiers on the battlefield the more CPU overhead required to play with smooth framerates.

Basically if you have a high end DX8/low end DX9 card you can run Rome just fine, provided of course that you don't turn on AA or Anisotropic filtering. The key is a powerful CPU and at least 512megs of ram.
