Game specs and performance: all M2TW owners post here

[mr.blonde]

Hi mates, specs
AMD athlon dualcore 3800+
2 giga RAM
7600 GT

all settings on high/highest except shadows on low, AA x2, AF x4, resolution 1024x768, huge units and perfomance is more than great except the known pathfinding/cpu issue in sieges...

P4 3.0
2 GB RAM
Geforce FX5200 256MB

Runs fine with everything set on low. Kind of a relief; I wasn't expecting it to run at all.

I have a laptop:

Pentium M 1.83 GHz
1 GB ram
geforce 6600 go

I play at 1280x796 with antialiasing x2, most things on 'high', bloom and reflections on and shadows on low. I get FPS in the mid teens - low end about 10, but more usually 15-17. Very large battles (e.g. the Otumba historical battle) get awful FPS (6-7) at these settings, but most campaign battles are playable, and it looks *so good*

Good morning friends.

My specs:
Athlon 64 3800+
1 gig of DDR800 OCZ VX ram
2 x Leadtek Geforce 6800 Ultras 256meg in SLI

CPU and both vid cards are water cooled. Helps out immensely for performance, I can game for hours and hours and the CPU won't break 110F and the GPUs 140F.

I can run the game pretty much the same as Rome, resolution is at 1280x1024 for both games, textures/quality maxed.

In Rome, I turned off the individual unit shaders and it gave me a good 5-10 boost in perf. I could run huge unit sized battles up to about 7k men with occasionally stuttering. Sieges or heavy use of flaming projectiles would also tend to bog down the machine big time.

In M2, I turned off bloom and shadows, and it's nearly identical. Turning on shadows, even on low, gives a noticable 5-10 FPS hit right away, which gets worse with more men. I like playing on huge as well.

Pound for pound, I'd say they're on par for performance. My assessment is that is great, it tells me that CA did put some thought and effort into optimzation.

Cheers
