Performance: Frames Per Second, Hardware, Expectations?

Hi there,

Just wondering how everyone is doing regarding performance. It seems my system suffers inordinately (relative to what i see on peoples streams). I am getting around a 21 fps in the early game with the mid (100ish units) chopping down to around 10 fps.

I am running and i5 2500k, 16 gigs ram, 2 gig Radeon 6950.

My settings really seem not to matter (uber, high or low); why would this be?

Should I expect to be able to run the game at 1080p with things maxed out and get a playable fps in the final product?

How is everyone else's performance at this stage of the game?

Thanks,

Brahmasmi

Performance is all over the place depending on hardware spec. I've got a slower system (besides having an i7) and get 75fps in the early game (vsyinc of my screen) while dipping very low once hundreds of units are out there.

The usual question here is are your graphic drivers up to date? (Even only a few months old drive can make a big issue.)

Also, at the moment some people are just lucky with their hardware configuration while others aren't since no optimisation for performance has been made.

dude you didn't have to make this thread. people have established that performance right now is illogical. Some people with higher specs than others (as is my case and yours) get less performance than other.

here are some tips :

PA will run best on a freshly booted PC that booted with only one screen plugged in and that has quite alot of room on the main hard drive.

I have two screens and it really bothers me but it ups the performance to play without the second.

also avoid european eveneings where you will get connection high times and lots of server load. server load is really bad as units will start to TP across the screen as their position is updated only once every six seconds or so.

This post has as much relevance as any.
We all know that this engine is not optimized, it was bad if it did.
But it is always important to know how the game goes behaving in various systems.
We must begin to not be so negative to the posts, everyone has the right since there is some foundation in the issues.
Remenber that

Thanks for the input everyone; it helps to know all the little tidbits of potential solutioneering that you more advanced users have come into.

I enjoy the game so very much that even at this early stage, I am wanting to maximize playability so that I can keep the Awesome! emanating from my robot minions.

See you on the potatoe!
