I was getting around 15ish FPS while zoomed in no matter how many units were engaged in melee. I was getting really plssed off, but i was looking through twcenter tech forums. Found out if you turn down unit detail to medium it will give you a HUGE FPS boost. Now i am getting an average of around 40ish FPS while in battle and this is with nearly 1k vs 1k troops with buildings being lit on fire. Sometimes it climbs even more then that.
I have a 2500k 3.8ghz sandy bridge, overclocked 560gtx, 4gigs of ram, win7. Also I don't even notice a graphic drop off with the unit detail being lowered....all i know is that it runs more then double my FPS then before!
Here are my settings, now I have AF set to max and unit detail to medium. I am going to try to check some of the other things and see how that goes. I know depth of field is an FPS killer for me, so gonna lay off of that one.
