Sadly this type of nonsense is going to happen more and more. Yet it needs so much power (and extremely expensive elements) to be able to even consider using it.

While 4k resolution barely makes a difference when i use it, visually. The game is one of the most beautiful and smoothest experiences i've had on my computer. Technology has barely caught up to 4k resolution frankly.

I don't know if it is Denuvo or whatever - not a big fan of the boogeyman-bandwagon of people blaming some ♥♥♥♥♥♥ anti-piracy software as the reason why their turd-PCs can't run this game at max settings - but CA definitely dropped the ball in optimizing for their power-PC fans.Ĥ5 FPS on a Simcity-looking campaign map on a 3090 4K is unacceptable. Just impossible to get this game running at 4k in an acceptable state. Tiny fart-sized buff of smoke on the battlefield: 80 FPS -> 20 FPS On top of this unreasonable res burden, there are these insane performance taxations that come from no where.Ĭlick on a settlement and view the UI: 60 FPS -> 45 FPS I can even max most settings (unit detail terrain detail etc.) and never see a moment below 80 FPS on both battle and campaign. Not a major surprise considering the difference in res, but it seems so unreasonable. Now if I change to 1440P - big improvement. On the same settings in campaign map, I literally never see above 50 FPS. On a mix of high-medium 4K I usually get about 60-80 FPS in battles - unless there is a single spell then of course I tank to sub 30FPS which is just glorious. How can I even begin to understand the logic behind this?īoth modes are so radically different in their performance, it's just insane. It blows my mind that CA decided to make the campaign map and battle map graphical settings one control panel. Needless to say, the visuals have taken a dramatic hit in the 'cleanness' or 'crispness' in the image quality, but I've determined that 60 FPS consistently at 4K is impossible on current gen hardware.

Unfortunately, it looks like I'll be enjoying this game at 1440, which wouldn't be much of an issue if my monitor wasn't a 4k native resolution 48' OLED TV. This is the first game in maybe 10 years that I am forced to run sub-native resolution.
