id like to see how a 580 performance as well since some german pc magazine basically said all ATi cards were unable to sustain 30fps in DX11 mode.

Me too :) It is already double confirmed that GTX470/570 cannot afford to benchmark at DX11 max settings.

All I could find was a user with a GTX590, however he was too shy to post his benchmark results. All he mentioned was that all the 1.5GB vram was fully occupied, while he gets like 30-35 fps in game.

Yeah, was having some issues with the app last night, wouldn't even start for a couple of hours after the update. I even think the results I posted earlier may be wrong, and what happened last night was part of it.

Maybe you just needed a restart ?. Metro 2033 did that on me.

I we could pass off Steam games I'd give my copy to you. Came free with some hardware.

4xAA 16xAF 1920x1080 I get 50.25 with my GPUs stock.

Edit: ah sorry didn't see these were 4xAA, then these results are more reasonable :) Still 73fps is a little too high to me

1920x1200 everything max except 4xAA, I get 57 fps here, while GTX570 SLI gets 50 fps

Shame, i actually got rid of my exit game crashes after restarting but came back when i chenged the video settings :|.

I we could pass off Steam games I'd give my copy to you. Came free with some hardware.

4xAA 16xAF 1920x1080 I get 50.25 with my GPUs stock.

51FPS here although i don't have bloom on as i never like it.

I'll finally be able to play my copy on Sunday. Can anybody tell me what level of perfomance I should expect in DX11 using a single 5870 at 1920x1080?

I think it runs very well and it'll look pretty still with a 5870 but that depends your requirements. Thinking the settings will be near max but does depend on how big your armys are too.

looks like this is unoptimized shit for a PC exclusive

What a crock of shit...

1920x1200 everything max except 4xAA, I get 57 fps here, while GTX570 SLI gets 50 fps

570s = 1.2gb of vram,
6970s = 2gb of vram

its well known the game is a vram hog at this point with many users reporting AA getting turned off when using ultra texture sizes on 1gb gpus,

the game is basically doing the same thing Grand Theft Auto 4 did with the vram limiter at 2gb i can max any and all settings without issue, a 580 should have no problems either at 1.5gb but anything lower is going to be hit or miss.

There is a work around to the vram limiter but it can cause crashing and system hangs depending on the PC.

at 1,2gb your possibly just over the ammount needed but im willing to bet your hitting an vram wall during the benchmark i noticed it on my rig as well looking at the log there are key areas were frame rate drops as vram usage goes up.

I have mentioned many times that GTX570/470 were not future-proof due to vram shortage, but I was attacked infinitely many times by enraged GTX560/460 fanboiz saying that I was justifying my purchase of 6950 2GB crossfirex...

If you get 73 fps with 4AA + vsync off but everything else at max, I bet you have tri-crossfirex?

nope 2 6970s

you might want to have steam verify game cash and install the latest drivers again cause from what i can see even 6870s are putting up better scores then your system right now from a buddy running 6870 xfire

but its been verified buy some other users even GTX 480s hit a vram limit at max settings with AA, hitting 1.4-1.5gb of vram usage, so the game is definetely a vram whore the more you have the better the game seems to run,.

Could you upload your benchmark log file for me to check if you have everything at max except 4AA? It should be located at

C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Shogun2\logs

and looks like:

09_05_23_25_02_benchmark1.log.txt

Thanks :)

dropped to 52fps avg i found out that the game was not overwriting my graphic settings after deleting my preferences file restarting the game and reconfiguring the frame rate dropped,

4 bench runs back to back went 69.7 69.4 71.1 72.2 this was before deletion
after deleting the preferences file and re enabling all features
4 bench runs give me 51 52 52 51

that with gpu and cpu at stock

gonna try again with some quick software overclocks

quick gpu clocks of 950 / 1450
cpu at 3800 / 2600

avg went up to 58 56 only did 2 quick runs,

gonna see the difference between MLAA and 8xAA

Thanks, that's the same as my 57 fps then :) It is now consistent with 3 other results I observe from Cayman GPUs

MLAA looks better then 8xAA frame rate much improved, hell MLAA at stock settings offers a 3fps boost compared to 2xAA looks the same as 8xAA with more objects actually being anti aliased.

overclocked with MLAA i hit 61-63 fps

but i can already tell im cpu limited, and hdd comes into play as well, seems the game is using my hdds page file.

also strange but during the CPU bench im only using 2 cores out of 4

but yea 8x AA vs MLAA

8x frame rate is 47fps avg
MLAA framrate rate is 61

MLAA applies to foliage etc where 8x does not seems mlaa gives better overall image compared to 8x and at lesser cost.

Here are my CPU usage:

max settings:


high 1080p:


dx9 cpu bench:


Thus this game still follow the general rule that 99% games cannot fully utilize more than 2 physical cores :)

yup which sucks because thats what the limiting factor is namely the CPU

animation information etc is done via cpu so if better multi threading existed for this title larger scale battles would be possible for everyone,

i have a cut off point i can handly 35-39k troops but if i touch 40k game drops to 1fps no matter what and its not vram, the cpu simply cant do the animation anymore. rather dissapointed, i wanted to push the game engine to its limit aka 56k lol
