Required specs for large unit armies

[barry12]

Hi all,

I like to play with 50,000+ units on the field, can anyone who does the same or knows about computers recommend the specs required to process such large armies without a drop in PC performance/frame rate?

Many thanks

Using Twin Xeon processor maybe. I don't know.

Is unit count more to do with the processor then or the GPU? Thanks

Yes, it is.

The faster the cpu, the better. The amount of cores does not count as this game only uses one core 100% of the time. The latest generation of Intel chips do a little better job but it's still built on raw cpu speed.

thanks. so in buying a new rig that can process 50,000+ units, I am mainly looking for a processor above 4GhZ i guess then?

This looks like it could work?
