CoH2 performance is... bad

Well it has been released and performance is still pretty bad. Even at medium settings the Nvidia GTX Titan 6GB at 1680x1050 is LOWER than 60 fps.

The game is nice looking - but it's hard to believe that not even the undisputed fastest card in the world 2013 cannot get over 60 fps at medium settings at a low resolution...

Meh. I can see why techspot is moaning, because they're benchmarking it. However, I have a 6870 and an i5-4670. It is less that 60 fps, but on the flip, it doesn't ever lag.

Perhaps because my PCs have always been shit, so I dont' know what I'm looking for, but it is still totally playable to me on high settings. I don't see the problem.

Something is weird with that review.. maybe they had bad cpu? Too little memory?
I dont believe that GTX Titan is the fps bottleneck with their testing setup.

I have gtx 660 ti and i5-3570k. I play with highest settings at 1680x1050, and I have yet to see any performance issues. I disabled the filters and antialiasing though. They make everything look worse.

Performance is acknowledged to be flawed, Nvidia is working on finding optimizations for their next driver. It supposedly runs a bit better on AMD cards, I have no idea about the validity of that but I know Nvidia is looking for performance optimizations.

AndyBNV said so on NeoGAF.

The performance is bad tbh in comparison with the first game from 6 years ago.

Then I read this guide (some of it is in german)

Essentially what it's saying is that the replay recording is draining your pc's resources. This guys specs were somewhat similar to my own and I assume they are for most of the people that are having issues. My specs on a build I did myself in 2009:

Core I7
6 GB of RAM
AMD 7850
ASUS P6T Turbo

While the 7850 isn't the greatest card in the world and 6 gigs of ram is mediocre atm, there is not reason that this game shouldn't run smoothly on mine and other rigs at 50-60 fps. Nothing in this game is, graphically speaking, that special.


back to the topic at hand - WHY DOES THE REPLAY RECORDING SYSTEM DRAIN RESOURCES LIKE THIS WHEN THE SYSTEM FROM THE 1st GAME FROM 6 YEARS AGO WORKED FINE???? WHY CAN'T I SEE THE CHAT????

It's the things like this that are really disappointing in this game.

Huh really? Why would replay recording cause such problems? They are just a few hundred kB small... or is it using some insane and unnecessary comprimation thingy?

Must be a bunch of amateurs..

Did they use a dual core and 2GB of ram for the rest of the testing rig, or what? I easily double the FPS of a Titan (according to their results) in 1v1s at highest settings. This is not a good test imo.

What are those filters you are talking about and how to disable them ?

I can't wait for the proper nvidia driver though it's kinda annoying.

Probably anisotropic filtering.

If you read the intro, they tell you they used the in-game benchmark feature. Which I find highly inaccurate.

Well, in my opinion, more graphics options would be nice like how it was in COH1 so we are able to customize the settings a bit more to our liking based on our specs.
