Everything on low, it 'runs' on normal battles, if too many buildings come into view, it's all stutter.
Definately time to upgrade for me...

I'm sure you'd do well if you just acquired a bit more RAM and an up-to-date display card with Shader 2.0 support.

Yeah the main bottleneck seems to be the videocard. Ram is probably enough.

But seeing as I'd like to goto a 7600GT, I might as well go with a new MB, processor and some new Ram as well, since the AGP version of a 7600GT is a lot more expensive (think I saw about 40-50 euro) then a PCI-e one.
I've had this setup for a long time (think about 4-5 years), so it's really time for an upgrade.

Anyway, when I get my new stuff (should be end of Nov) I'll post again how well it plays.

I can't stress how much smoother the actual game runs on my PC, it is a great improvement!

AMD 4200 x2

2gb of DDr ram

Ati EAX 1600 pro

Maxed out with AA x2 can push for x4 but starts to lag a little. Turning pointless vegitation down alowas no lag on AA x4.

Pentium IV 2.4 Ghz
ATI Radeon 9600 (256 MB DDR Ram)
Ram 1.5 Gb
Soundcard: Hercules Fortissimo 4

I run it with Shader version 1 (no shadow, bloom or reflections), resolution 1024x768, Unit Detail, Grass Detail, Vegetation Detail, Effects: Medium, Building Detail : High, AA off, no V-Sync, texture Filter Bilinear, Campaign shadow: on

The campaign map: +/- 15 FPS (this seems low, but it runs quite smoothly, IMHO you don't need a high frame rate on the campaign map)

Battles:

Small ones (like 5 units vs 5 units) : FPS 25-40
Fought one "big" battle (full stack vs full stack) : FPS : 20-30
One "Mediocre" Siege (half stack vs half stack) : FPS 25-35

The FPS aren't very high, but the game doesn't stutter and I have no lag effects.

I used FRAPS to measure the FPS's

Conclusion: I think this will make a lot of people happy, since my system isn't what you would call "high end" nowadays ...

AMD Athlon XP 2600
512Mb Ram
128mb Geforece FX
Windows XP

Alright. Turne dit all down to low on battles, still stutters a good bit. The campaign map runs fine but is still a bit jerky. New graphics card methinks...
