    Default The biggest fps drop graphical option!

    My pc specs are:
    Intel core i5 3570 3.4 ghz turbo boost 3.8ghz
    8gb ram dd3
    Gigabyte gtx 660 2gb ddr5 windforce

    So i tried many specs for extreme to high to medium but every time i tried that i left unit details on extreme, so next i put everything on high/very high and just put unit details on high wich was down from extreme, and i gained +15 fps when you zoom in the fighting! I didn't notice lagg at all, i might make a video later but you guys should definitely try this, the bigest problem with this game is that when you zoom in all the action your fps drops bellow 20 well with unit details on high on my pc the fps drop was maybe 5fps, so yeah definitely try this.

    Makes sense that one of the most graphical intensive operations would be hundreds of unit textures up close.

    Obviously, but i was making this thread because 90% of the players are complaining about huge fps drop when zooming in the fights, and this will help a ton, you can even set everythign else on, very high/ultra and you still wont get fps drop when you zoom so yeah this is the most intense option while zooming in the fights (that is besides ssao and vegetation alpha ofc), honestly the texture detail you loose is not even that noticeable from extreme to high/very high and in return you get around 10-15 fps boost, like i said just try it out and you will see, i would gladly have the 15 fps rather than slow motion fighting.

    Shadows and Unit size/details are the biggest hits cause they are the hardest on the CPU, and the game is CPU not GPU optimized.

    My frames drop only when I press the spacebar mid-battle, no change how I set my settings high, very high, ultra or extreme.

    the huge fps drops is because of variable unit details according to the distance, this has always been the most demanding part
