Please post your system info and any performance issues you run into

always can go into more detail but this is the important stuff for me anyway

 

my old system was

 

procesor: A64 3000+ (2250mhz)

ram:      1 gig DDR 400 ram

Video:    ATI 9800 pro 128mb

resolution: 1600x1200

Antialiasing: off

Ansio level: off

 

 

explosions lagged, shadows needed to be turned off at all costs

 

upgraded this week to

procesor: A64 3000+ (2250mhz)

ram:      2 gig DDR 400 ram

Video:    nvidia 7900 GS 256 mb

resolution: 1600x1200

Antialiasing: 4x

Ansio level: 8x

 

not completely lag free, but really really close even in huge battles (lets call this the recommended config heh)

Eville got a new system, nice

 

I got a new system from the Thanksgiving deals, excellant stuff from Fry's. Though it is a desktop I normally keep at home, so I will try Warlords on it as soon as I can. New computer cost me only $500 (except for DVD drive and Hard Drive)

 

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 (overclocked slightly to 2.2 Ghz)

Memory: 2 GB DDR2 533

Video card: Nvidia 7900 GS (eVGA .. stock specs I believe)

video memory: 256 MB

resolution played at: (fill in later)

Fighting is terrible, but not as terrible as losing the will to fight.

Plays fine with some lag when the battles get massive.

After all the rebates, it was $120. An excellant deal considering the on-label price was $250. eVGA also has a lifetime warranty and their contest to win back the cost of the card.

 

The only thing I'm annoyed about was the MSI motherboard that was bundled with the CPU. Can't figure out how to change the CPU core voltage, otherwise I would seriously try and max it out to the near 2.8 Ghz they've gotten the E6400 to clock.

I bought this sucker in 2000, did some minor upgrading. It's a real dinosaur now. Hopefully buying a new system next year....bring on SLI.....

SLI generally isn't worth it for the price. If you spend that much money, just go and get the next higher single card. It will perform better than the SLI dual setup usually. (Of course, if you want to go all out and get the latest 8800 GTX .. and then SLI that baby... sinking $$$ down the drain)

Everything works nicely, even when I see my precious Munificents, Recusants, Providences, and Trade Fed Cruisers bite the dust. ^^

not sure how possible that is with a 8800 due to size(i guess it depends on your motherboard), besides the 8800 GTX is far to overpriced, you might as well get a BFG Tech GeForce 8800 GTS OC 640MBPCI Express, its about 150 cheaper and only slightly less powerful, its core clock is 550 while GTX is 600 and its shader clock is 1300 compared to 1400 on the GTX. I think im gona get one of these when i build my new computer, really gona put my old 6600 to shame ( its not even half as powerful)

Antialiasing level normally just on 2x but ive set it upto 6x and notice pretty much no difference.

FPS zoomed out is around 40fps, zoomed all the way in 10fps, zoomed mid way in around 20fps.

yeah i know it can do do SLI, what i meant was actually having big enough space on your motherboard to do it :P that article was however very interesting, seems its not worth getting the GTX for SLI, you may as well get the cheaper one which only performs slightly less, still i think the GTX is a much better buy, i think im gona be getting a GTX now, i was going to get a pre-overclocked GTS, man i was really shocked by the performace difference  :o (as in single card mode, looks like the GTX peaks with current drivers).

 

BTW, i changed my views on it being overpriced for myself anyways as hopefully i should be getting a new rig within a week or so :D
