Fraps ?

[Xam Enyap]

I recently downloaded Fraps. As I understand this program is used for measuring performance while running games. Out of curiosity I played one RTW custom battle, figured my average number and then played another one, but this time I set res to 800 x 600, turned off grass, shadows and other stuff - in the end i got the same number. How come?

Maybe your rig is so good that you could play with high settings and no problems?

Nope. The second game actually felt a bit faster.

How many men did you have in the field? Maybe your processor just can't do any better because there are so meny men/buildings etc.. The video-settings don't affect to cpu so much, i quess.
Meaning: Your video card can handle the best settings, but fps doesen't go up, because cpu can't perform good enough.
Just quessing now.

There was about 1800 men on each side. Both terrains was grassland without any trees or buildings. I thought Fraps is for video card not CPU.

Fraps is for the video card in a way, but RTW is more processor based. That is the performance of the game is more influenced on the processor speed than any other component in your computer.
