I've only played the beta on my old computer and it worked fine. I played it on a p4 3.0ghz, 1gb ram, 6800LE on kinda low settings but it still looked pretty good so I can't see why it didn't work good on your computer.

You set a waay too high resolution for those settings. FPS will drop because your computer can't display the game's graphics at such a high resolution even with turned down settings. Try lowering the resolution just a bit to see if FPS goes up. I am using a 21 inch monitor and my fav resolution for all games is 1280 by 1024 and that ensures high framerates with balanced eye candy, although on less hardware intensive games I crank up the resolution to the max because it doesn't impact the performance.

i have a amd 3400+ 1gb of ram and a gefore 6600 and i play the demo just fine as i did the beta. Alot of people with performance problems are simply setting the graphics too high. Even on the lowest settings the game looks great. I always play all games on low no matter if i can play with out lagg on high or not. It helps keep the strain off your pc. But hey just mess around till you find settings that dont lagg.

According to the in-game test, I get an average of 23 fps maxed DX10, but fraps tells me I average in the 30's.

Actually I was in the Beta and I played the beta max out and many people are saying the same thing and that is the Beta played better than the Demo. Why? I dont know. I have a X2 5200 2gigs 8800 320gst overclock and I have to put the settings on medium/low for DX9. Now I know something aint right because im not along many others are having the same problems.

This game doesn't really seem optimized, my pc's a Pentium D 2.8GHz (OC@ 3.4GHz) 2GB RAM, 8600GTS. The game runs veryyy good on 1360X768 on medium settings. But once I crank it up tp High or Very High, I get horrible lag. So if it's ran higher than medium no matter what res i got it on it completely lags. Anyways, I'll still be getting this great game because I can run it in 1360X768 on medium graphical settings. The 1360X768 is my monitors native res.

Well, your monitor doesn't determine whether or not you can play at high settings, your PC does. And with your specs (especially the single core processor and only 1 gig of ram) don't support running it on high settings.

Well the GFX and CPU aren't THAT great.

Anyway I run it max on DX9 @ 1280x1024 with everything full ... AA, AF, Shadows, Everything.

I have a X-2 4800+ and 256mb 7800gtx and 2gb ram.

I first put the stettings to low, and then added stuff to graphics, see how well it still works. Now the settings are almost back to medium, and works almost as fine as with low. Big battles do however make the game lag some.

It was very smooth at 1680x1050 with all settings high.

The only moment it gave me about 17 FPS was when you look very closely, (and try to rotate around) the biggest explosion effect. I can't really recall the name of the strike you call down. it drop two bombs I believe and the effect is massively large.

It's a demo, I'm positive there will be some optimization done prior to release, or a few fixes in patches.

The game does offer a tremendous field of view with many excellent looking environment effect, from simple buildings to every vehicle.

When you count all the massacre going on and calling of air strikes, the game feels very epic.

Plus, if you put 2-3 options to medium for example, you won't even see any difference in game visuals, but you will get higher frames.

I play it fine in DX10 mode. Yet 30fps is alright for a RTS for me.

Same, and on my new PC the game runs like a dream. I think its fairly well optimized, especially considering how great it looks.

I have to know, what is it you are seeing in this game? I played the beta and that lasted all of about an hour. I mean the sounds were muted, your 'soldiers' are just little splashes of color the infantry is so darn tiny. The combat itself was boring and uninspired....people will really pay 50 bucks for this??

It runs good on high @ 1680x1050. Specs in sig. but my once almighty CPU is only handling the physics on medium. My GPU is holding up pretty well however.
