Even with a SSD, a god GPU, 6 core processor the game is runing somewat slugish

so far as I know the Game only uses max. 2 Cores, more cores don’t increase the performance at the moment. Perhaps Urban Games will change that the Game uses more cores.

How many GB RAM do you have?

The good news is, even setting it to “Low” leaves things looking the same level of detail close up to camera… you’ll just notice that it drops the vehicle models when you zoom out to a fair distance, and the detail on the trees will fall off pretty close.  “Medium” is a decent compromise – it runs better, but looks very similar to High, unless you’re staring at fine details on the horizon.

I find that even Low is absolutely fine though, and the game runs almost completely stutter-free, and at smooth framerate, even on my laptop with a GT650M graphics card.

The geometry setting is the killer.  If you’ve got a decent GPU, you can turn everything else on and it’ll run fine… just be sure to knock geometry down to at least Medium.  If you particularly want to take a screenshot, you can crank it up to High using the ingame settings window.

Lower gemetry sure helps, ,in top down view its quite playable, but if you pan out its realy sluggich. The framerate is still somewhat okey (for a strategygame),  but the control reactiontime is really slow, and hit framedrops when its loding textures… and thats form a SSD:

This is some serious whack coding shenanigans. What on earth is pulling so much texture memory in a game like this.

edit: and this is without AA/HDR/SSAO

Almost everything except the map is only textures and models. (and the SFX is heavily compressed).

I tryed HDR and SSAO and it makes no viable difference in speed, but the visable quality diffrens is quite high. I dropt the AA down to 2x, it made a little diffrens but not a lot. Really only gemoetric resolution that made any notasible diffrance in speed.

 

Also, i have 3GB of GPU memory, so it shold be no problem

I’m seeing quite a bit of a performance drop.  How far are you into your playthrough?

I’m also wondering just how much of an impact does the ever present smoke make. Even if it doesn’t, it’s really annoying me, wish there was a way to turn it off and limit it to just trains.

The memory is used to keep track of all of the cargo, passengers, cities and so on and so forth.

“Textures are kept in the VRAM,”
Thats my point, its in VRAM, so its not in the normal ram.

“The memory is used to keep track of all of the cargo, passengers, cities and so on and so forth.”

Its a minescule amount.

And no – It is by no means a minuscule amount.
