    Default Demo Graphical Performance versus Full Game Graphical Performance

    Alright, for all those out there who are lucky enough to have the game already , what would you guys think about the graphical performance of the demo in battles versus the graphical performance of the full game?

    So, in other words, is it a big speed increase due to the expanded, more complete, improved code in the full version?

    Good point there, Trajan.

    It'd be nice if you guys could post your system specs and your graphical and unit size settings.

    They must all be still playing, lol.

    Well i have not done a comparison yet of fps, the full game does seem to be better optimised than the Gold demo. Though i've got an uber pc so im not sure if that info is of any value to anyone.

    Nice, what fps are you getting?

    That's a nice system.
    Do you set your background apps to run on one core, and medieval on the other? If so, does it make any noticeable speed difference as opposed to running it all on the same core?

    No, i do not set programs to one core or the other.

    It looks like M2Tw may be making use of both cores, but i will have to check.

    As for my fps, im not sure, but its around 50-60 in battles with 1000 troops in them.

    Whew, my poor old system (p4 2.26, 512 RAM fx5200) on Agincourt is getting about 4fps lol. But if thats all I can get, thats all I can get, I should be getting a new system sometime next year though.

    I never read anywhere that M2TW makes use of both cores. I'm pretty sure it doesn't. If it did, I'm sure it would have been advertised to death. Also are you running AA/AF and what resolution are you running?

    If you ever get in one of those 8000+ men battles, let me know how your performance was.
