TOTAL WAR ATTILA OPTIMIZATION SERIES

MAP: Anything BUT City/Port/Unfortified Assault I've created a TEST to help you calibrate!!! SSAO (In the Pile Of Dead Bodies Sense) Some effects only appear lightly and no strain of a 'Late Battle' is applied.Д®ffects Essentially Absent From Benchmark: The 'Benchmark' is for the casual player who will be limited to the bounds of Single Player, which never puts much strain on the machine. Settings Breakdown of Medium or Low end rig:Дў.0 to 3.0 Gigahertz Quad/Dual Hyper (i5)Д§20p Area or Below (1366x768 for Example)Дon't count the 'Benchmark'. What you say is true - in the high bandwidth sense. I also Enjoy Atilla at moderate while Mobile/Laptop. Well - sure - if you have a higher end rig. Reflections on min, AA off, and unit size medium: 58.9 fps. Turning reflections on min and AA off: 54.9 fps, range: 45 to 69 fps. Since refections caused such a large change before, I then turned reflections off: 45.1 with a range between 37 to 56 fps. Using the recommended settings from nVidia GeForce Experience except putting the unit size to ultra: 33.4 fps with a range between 25 and 42 fps. grass / unit detail to quality / shadows are all about the same My conclusion is that the biggest bangs for the buck other than lowering resolution & unit size are: Reducted resolution to 1366x768: 106.8 - fps was at 120 for many points in time. Reduced resolution to 1600x900: 97 (I have frames set to max at 120 fps which is my monitor resolution. reduced to small unit size: 80.5 (game automatically increased fire and smoke effects) texture filtering lowered to trilinear: 82.8 unit detail to quality from ultra quality: 80.1 unit size reduced to med from ultra: 77.8 SSAO and distortion effects disabled: 35.4 shadows set to highest performance: 26.2 Unltd vid mem off.Д®ach step includes the previous setting changes.Д«enchmark with default max quality settings: 16.6 fps Key points due to just having 2GB dedicated video memory texture resolution was set to large, and texture filtering set to 4x. Started out with the highest default settings for my computer. TLDR: Use nVidia GeForce Experience recommended settings, except put unit size to ultra or medium, and turn off reflections and AA. *there was no screen tearing at any point *nVidia Shadowplay was enabled throughout all trials but not recording.

I just ran a series of tests to hopefully save some people some time.
