Serious performance issues?

[Suitup89]

Anyone else? Running the game in DX11 mode, 1900x1200, all high settings, no AA. On a i7-930, GTX 285, 6GB DDR3PC1600...and I get unplayable performance. Every animation slideshows - scrolling across the map, units moving, tooltips opening and closing, everything.

Anyone? I've scanned a few pages of threads and haven't seen anything yet... =(

Did you try to set V-Sync off? In some games it caused stuttering to me.

[Suitup89]

Yep, tried it with it on and off. No difference.

Can you try switching to Windowed mode (as a test), set your resolution to something in the ballpark of 1440 x 900, and let me know if your perf normalizes?

And jsut to be sure, you have updated your video drivers, correct?

[Suitup89]

They're updated to stable, going to try the 260.63 beta drivers here in a second.

I'll try windowed mode and 1440x900.

To be honest, I'm surprised my machine is struggling as much as it is. I have the second highest resolution, all settings on Medium, and a x2 anti-aisling, but a strong computer, and it's not running perfectly smoothly. Very interesting.

[Suitup89]

The drivers actually helped(weird...). I'm still in 1900x1200 full screen and its playable now. Still a little rough moving along the map, but better.

I am using a pretty weak machine, win 7 32, duo core, 2 gigs of ram, and gts 460 and can crank the settings to high, with 1080p, with no problems. Completely playable.

I had similar probs so moved to the DX9 client and poof all working fine

Just registered to say that with the demo I was getting poor performance running at DX 10, however same settings on DirectX 9 and the game was much more playable. It's worth a try if your not too worried about DX 10 or 11 features.

My machine is a Q9400s, 4gb ram,ati 5770, win 7 64bit... runs perfectly fine in 1920x1200 res.

Could very well be a problem with the gtx285. I have the same card and playing @1900x1200 is impossible due to performance and crashing issues. I'm also running Windows 7 (x64) and have 4 gigs of ram. As stated earlier in this thread, switching to dx9 exec fixed me up and it runs as advertised. dx11 exec needs a patch or our drivers do

Well I played my 100 turns with every availbile nation and for some reason the game slowed down playing the egypt nation. Loading and saving took about a minute, before that it was done in seconds. Dunno why that is happening. Tomorrow I'll play a few turns at work and check if the same thing happens there, too. (Yes, I won't work that much at work tomorrow )
