Maximum settings maximum units.

Can any of your rigs out there run the 24000 man peasant battle smoothly?

if it can what is it?

**I-the-gamer** · September 18, 2008, 08:31 AM

Well, depends on how you define "smoothly", but i don't think it's possible.

**Arcinatus** · September 18, 2008, 03:20 PM

would be rather stunning. i wonder if the creaters of total war have computers that are capable of it. (me thinks they probably do, or at least kinda close)

a true test of a computer's ability is running full max settings with 24000 peasants on 6x speed smoothly

I believe thats impossible.

24000 peasants smoothy? Sure, You can buy the best PC in the world for around 6000$ which could easily handle 24000 men. maybe X2 speed

**Double A** · September 18, 2008, 08:35 PM

Or wait a year and pay $12000 for X6 speed.

(oil prices dee dee dee)

Ahh cool, oki so its impossible at the moment, thankye,

I've got quite a nice one (quad core, 8gb ram, 4870 x2) and was worried I didn't have it optimised right.

I get a playable fps on max settings with 24000 peasants
(I think it ranges in the 5-15 fps mark, although I didn't use a frame-rate counter so I'm only guessing).

Tried lowering the graphics, no difference at all so it must be a cpu bottleneck, probably because the game uses 1 core so only using 3.4 ghz...

very interesting.

**Double A** · September 19, 2008, 09:40 PM

so, uhh, why do you want to do a 24000 peasant battle?

**D.B. Cooper** · September 19, 2008, 09:57 PM

I've seen some player screens from the BC forums and they're pretty damn close, here's Miraj's battle on a new gaming rig, at 1920x1200. Wow. Has to be at least 10 000 men.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Here's another MASSIVE battle:

**saishuu** · September 20, 2008, 12:02 PM

Yeh I don't really want to do a 24000 peasant battle, it was more a question for interests sake.

**Monsieur Alphonse** · September 20, 2008, 01:24 PM

My largest real battle during a campaign involved 15,000 men. I was defending Rome against the infidels who came to save their pope from my mighty Turkish army. I had 3 to 5 fps on average.

E6600 and 8800 GTS 640

**steveomac8888** · September 20, 2008, 02:30 PM

I get about 15-16,000 on the field before my starts to lag.

overclocked Q6600 3.8GHZ
3870X2 1GB
4GB OF 800MHZ RAM
P5Q PRO MOBO

BUT MY PC CAN ONLY HANDLE ABOUT 6,000 IN RTW ,, I THINK ITS BECAUSE RTW ONLY USES ONE OF MY PROCESSORS CORES ,, SINCE IT CAME OUT BEFORE THE QUAD CORE PROCESSORS..
