lagggggg pls help

i have sapphire radeon hd 6850 1gb cpu amd phenom x4 955 black edition 12gb ram windows 7.......pls help me get rid of lag.....i think my specs are good...

They are "good".

1. The game will only use 4gb of ram including graphics. XP based game with the 32bit ceiling. No more.
2. Good graphics card.
3. The cpu is bottlenecking the gpu big time.
4. Everything about the game goes through one core of your cpu including the proverbial kitchen sink before your gpu sees the first byte of graphics. One-core, XP thinking company.

You have three choices:
1. Get an aftermarket cooler , overclock your cpu, and hope you don't blow the board, or
2. Plan on investing in a Ivybridge i5 and board that you can overclock with an aftermarket cooler and try to break 4.6 GHz, or
3. Lower graphics settings to an acceptable framerate for you and live with it.

There is unfortunately no fourth choice.

i have 1 big fan on cpu.....i bought it....its not the same like the other fan including in cpu.....to play the game with no lag i must go to lowest option in settings......can u help me with that???i think could play it on medium.....but only on low....

You can play on medium but not with things like shadows, particle effects, grass and buildings on high, etc.

On medium, keep lowering the eyecandy until either the lag disappears or the framerate comes up to suit you.

I read somewhere a few years ago on another forum, game mode = low resolution and minimum eyecandy.

can u tell me how to OC easy my black edition cpu??

Shogun2 is better optimized. Have you checked the gfx.log.txt in the Shogun2\logs folder to see if the graphics have been turned down?

It's hidden in users\username\appdata\the creative assembly\ shogun2\logs. You have to unhide all, files, folders, and drives to get there after logging in as Administrator.

Odds are it did change your settings for everything. Set them back to default.
