Thought I'd just update what happened when I reran the game today. Placed the quality on high and ran it at 50fps everywhere but the village which was 30. I honestly don't know what was happening yesterday to warrant 7fps but it seems to be a bit more stabilized today :)

I'll try both of those things aswell, either way standard still looked really nice :)

Thanks Gliptal, Yeh, I'm not basing everything on this Alpha, but I do hope I can run on high after BI has had time to optimize it a bit more using all our comments :)

I'll start by saying just how good the alpha looks and I can therefore understand that its demanding on a PC. I've also seen the issues with CPU usage and Steam and will try these fixes later, when I'm back on my home computer. Looking through this thread there's a lot of awesome (and expensive :eek:) systems, and I thought I had a reasonable one myself. However this alpha has seriously questioned that (that's a good thing I guess, means a better game :) ) My computer consists of: Intel i5 3570k 3.4GHZ Sapphire 7950 3GB OC 8GB RAM When playing the Alpha yesterday, Ultra/Very High and High decimated my computer, I was getting 7fps on High. I then tried Standard and got a steady 40fps with it jumping to 30 in towns. Is this about right for this game currently, seems odd that I can't even play with anything on high. I understand its an alpha and performance will increase but I did expect a bit more :D
