That said, more data is always good. Feel free to download a copy of either Process Explorer or GPU-Z and take a screenshot of your GPU's activity as you play, and copy it here for us to look at.

Ok and I guess to do that means playing in windowed mode? Which in itself is going to make performance worse?

Ok so here are the outputs from a 4v4 game
-snip-
What do you think?
...
the game slows down and then suddenly all units accelerate lots.

Updated above
What are your graphic settings?
Results from the benchmark?
How's the load on the rest of your system? (process explorer)
Edit 2:
i think you should deactivate AA, and lower your Physics settings. Tamper around, i'd start with off.

Which CPU are you using? Those jumps after 2 cores are a little unexpected. Fraps interfering?

The closest second would be to watch the same replay and auto-follow the same unit with the camera.

Demos not broken anymore after patches?

Yeah, hard to benchmark changes in system demands from patch to patch. Still, that's a moot point as you can't go back to an old patch, even if you wanted to. We're only trying to establish the game's requirements at this point in time. For that a replay does the job fine.

esert of Kharak on High even smoother than this game at Low setting. Posts: 769 | Subs: 1

At this point your CPU is almost certainly the limiting factor, and there's little you can do about that (except overclock it, if you have the know-how). You should definitely have room to increase your graphics settings, even though image quality and texture quality are the most important ones for making the game look nice and you've already got them fairly high. It's unlikely you'd notice higher textures on a 1080 monitor unless you zoomed in a lot.
Turning down/off physics will slightly improve CPU performance. In-game AA is demanding, but if your GPU has that much room to spare it probably doesn't matter.
IMHO, GTX 960 is barely an improvement over a decent running (& clocked) 660 Ti.

Ok thanks for your input guys, I guess I'll just stick with the rig I have then with a GPU that doesn't max out, with a processor that ranks fairly highly for this type of game (single thread) and already using NVIDIA which seems to work better than AMD.
Overclocking and turning off physics then I guess if I want to try something, and maybe trying AA off. What does the setting physics do?
