Performance must be adress , fast

[Jmonstra]

Terrible CPU performance, I have a 3570k at 4.2Ghz with 8gb DDR3 1600mhz ram and a GTX 780.
Getting about 17fps in battles, 60 fps fluid on the campaign on ultra/extreme settings. The CPU is just having a rough day, my GPU is being lazy at 30% activity (it even underclocks the core because Rome 2 is not using it).
CPU optimizations are needed ASAP.

That's worrysome, since my specs are close to yours (I have a GTX 760 with 4GB)

[SonOfCrusader76]

So basically, you guys could run Shogun 2 without problems, but Rome 2 is running very slowly?

Great. My copy hasn't arrived yet, but after reading that, I am very concerned how well it'll run on my PC...

I have the following and the performance is a mixed bag at best, i've had to put shadows on low and most other settings on high to get decent framerates especially in melee

i7 2600k (OC to 4.4ghz)
8gb ram
GTX 770

Moved to Tech Forum, please try to put new threads in the correct fora.

Try turning the shadows off completely - I have always found that to give the biggest performance boost in TW games. With my slightly older setup, Shogun 2 didn't run well with any sort of shadows - upon removing them, it ran as smooth as silk. I can forgo shadows until my next upgrade.

Yes, first thing to try is to turn off SSAO and to lower/turn off shadows. Depth of field and vignetting is also not really necessary. The new alpha vegetation is also a luxury for most. Otherwise, lowering unit details a bit seems to help too. I have to test it out myself tonight.

Sorry for the weird and maybe stupid question. But can I run R2TW on Dualcore 1.5ghz with some kind of Intel graphic card(not sure what it is, but it's not a great graphic card) with 2GB RAM in my labtob? I know that the min req are Dualcore 2ghz, but can I play with some 'reasonable' performance in lowest graphic settings?

[Coxy]

Lags for me when I play battles with the Sea. Normal battles are fine. Awful loading times though

My PC is 3 years old - GTX 460

[Hattori]

Sorry holy crusader I wouldnt count on it. I've got a dual core and a GTX650 OC which served me pretty well on shogun 2 but the performance here is abyssal. Game seems to be extremely CPU intensive.
Lowering unit detail to low helps a lot and the units still look pretty good on zooming in but once the melee battles start it's unplayable.

Double post. -_-

I agree this game has some major issues. 3570 K, granted with a only a modest OC to 4 GHZ. 16GB ram, 2x 670 GTX. Sli doesn't work. Still FPS are playable were it not that the game does a ing minifreeze every minute or so. It's annoying the ing crap out of me. Also, maybe it's just me, but the game does not seem to like being tabbed out. My pc is useless while being tabbed out during R2 play. It's annoying. Shogun ran so much better and stable in every way.

@Maizel
Mini-freeze is probably due to texture swapping. How much VRAM do u have? Try to lower texture resolution to see if the problem goes away (you can raise it afterwards if you rather want to have nicer textures with a freeze from time to time).

[KiwiGamerDude]

Thought I would just say that, I have lag issues too. I am running a 8120@5GHz 8gig ram and an OCed HD7950. I mainly have problem with the CPU maxing out on the core that are being used. It needs to use more than 2 cores, it is 2013 this is just ridiculous. Shogun used more cores.

2gb. Or rather 1966MB according to the game.But with sli not working it may just be one.Though people I know run it on one 670GTX without any problems with similar settings.This game needs some patching, proper drivres from Nvidia would be nice too. Tried lowering the textures. Little effect.

[A Barbarian]

@MaizelSo it's probably not texture swapping. Will have to check tonight what's up with the game. SLI btw doesn't have any influence on the amount of VRAM, it's always the same as a single card since each card need to render the complete scene (only that one card is rendering frame 1, 3, 5, ... and the other one frame 2, 4, 6, ...).

I'm having the same problem as other people. The game runs terrible, I'm getting 15-20 fps on ultra but even if a lower it to low the fps improves very little. I have a i7-2600 3.40Ghz, 8GB and a GTX580.

2500k on stock here, decently overclocked 6870, 8 gigs of RAM, on 1680x1050. Averaging somewhere around 20-30 FPS with everything on medium. Setting it to low makes no change in frames. Was able to run Shogun 2 50+ FPS with Darth Mod and huge unit sizes. Disgrace of a game.

I posted on the other thread but nobody answered. Can anybody tell me how to run this on DX9? I wanted to compare the performance.

[husserlTW]

I do not have serious problems in game (ATI 6950) but the PC is very slow if I minimize the game (alt+tab) and to do something else (i5 2500k/16gb ram/SSD). However when I set game run in window mode without change anything else (the same resolution 1920 X 1080 and Extreme settings), the problem is disappeared. I do not know if this will help game performance because as i noted I do not meet serious problems to check it, so I just mention it.
