Poll: FPS and your system
Though we might do a quick poll to see how fast/slow this game runs on a wide variety of systems. Post you system and average FPS.
My PC is a:
P4 1.6
512 RAM
40 Gig HD
NVidia GForce 4 MX
FPS: Max Graphics Settings
18 - 20 at the start of the game
10 FPS when there are battles
Movement is often very jerky and hard to watch. Do I need to upgrade?

Windows XP

NVidia GForce 3 Ti500
1280x10214x32 Resolution, maxed graphics settings.
FPS: Max Graphics Settings
37 at the start of the game
28 FPS when there are battles
By the way, for us to be able to compare these things we need to know the resolution as well! Otherwise, how can we compare the FPS?

I change my system around very frequently for testing, but at this moment:
Intel P4 2.5
1GB RAM
SB Audigy
RADEON 9700 PRO
~50 FPS with vsync=1
100+ FPS with vsync=0
Personally I can't tell the difference in FPS values over 25 in RON (unlike first-person shooter games).

Diamond Monster Sound MX300 (Nice warning ingame, BTW)
Geforce 4 Ti 4200
I get about 70 FPS - dunno if vsync is on, but I maxed out the settings at 1280x1024x32

P3 733
256 RAM
GEForce 256
My system is a little older, but well above the minimum requirements.
I average 20 FPS when there is are no major combats on-screen.
The battles really slow things down, to around 10 FPS. If I put the detail to High, I get around 4 FPS during these battles. This is for the entire game up to the Modern age in a 1v1 scenario.
Anything beyond the Modern age is unplayable. The game simply crawls with the typical number of units on-screen.
What does "minimum requirements" mean? Should the entire game be playable (and fun) with the minimum requirements, even when the graphic detail is set to Low?

AMD 2000XP
768MB of DDR ram
'old' geforce 1 (sdr ram)
averages around 20 FPS, drops to 10/12 during battles.
(default high settings)
Looks like the processor is NOT the most important thing here.
EDIT: forgot the word - NOT - (again  )

On the contrary, looking at the results above clearly show processor speed does not matter as much as on-board system RAM seems to.
It seems newer video cards are doing well also.

128MB of RAM is barely enough to run windows properly, tassadar.

indeed. I have 256 (Win XP) and the game is slow during big battles. BTW, is it possible to set the resolution to 800x600 in the retail version?

I normally get about 70-80 fps during normal gameplay and it dips to about 30-40 when there are alot of units on the screen.

8 or lower when things get busy, worse if zoomed in.

Is there a way to see average FPS over the course of a game? Or are you guys just guessing based on the number displayed in the upper right?
