M2TW faster than RTW?

[aqd]

Hello guys!


I just noticed that with ATI 4670 gfx chip, RTW seems to be a lot slower than M2TW on mid-high graphics settings (1920x1080, AA 2x, 'high' for everything, huge scale). And this is only my RTW mod vs Third Age Total War. The performance of RTW is even slower with RTR VII which has improved environment and trees over vanilla. The FPS is down to 16 when I look at my soldiers in replay mode closely, and 7 when phalanx armies are engaging (I put camera in the middle of soldiers)


Am I the only one who encounters the problem? It's quite frustrating because I intend to bring even more detailed textures into my RTW mod, maybe 1024x1024....

lolno

I can run Rome way better than M2, and I can run S2 on Max settings.

Umm, including the mods with 512x512 texture too? with max settings?

No mods.

I just leave the whatever it's called msax15 or something like that off.

Yes because Med2 uses upgraded Rome engine. Much like S2 is faster than NTW which is faster than ETW because same engine but upgraded and optimized.

On my old Pentium 4 Med2 runs better than RTW on the same settings.

Using a Radeon HD 5770, Roma Surrectum II runs just as smoothly as Stainless Steel, if not more so (especially when additional programs are running in the background).
