Hetzer21 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Tried the demo, have a question. I'm running a pretty powerful rig, actually upgraded to it for a flight sim that was known to be demanding (CoD)...2500k at 4.5ghz, GTX580 with 3GB of VRAM and 8GB of RAM at 1600mhz with W7-64 running from an SSD. I expected Normandy to run like silk maxed out but the two stock missions I tried, that don't have particularly large maps or many units, were very stuttery/sluggish. Playable but not playable, if you know what I mean. So was this a demo thing going on and the proper game is better? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillLight Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 ATI or nVidia? Did you try the latest drivers? CMBN uses OpenGL so game performance from other games is not necessarily an indication, as most games use DirectX (and don't run on the Mac). Hope that helps! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I would suggest adjusting 3d Quality down by a notch or two. When it's set at Best Quality, the game is not trying to auto-adjust the graphics level for a good fps, so it's not a very good setting overall, especially with the more cluttered maps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Hey Hetzer - sounds like something with the driver. Apparently there have been some OpenGL bugs in the 580 drivers - I'd make sure you're running the latest, and hopefully that will help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanzfeld Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I have almost the same rig. The biggest hit comes from shadows. Try turning them off and tell me what your results are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hetzer21 Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 Thanks guys. I installed the latest NV drivers today, I'll re-install the demo and give it another go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
