The built-in benchmark in this game is deceptive for me lol. Had 77 FPS on Extreme settings on there but barely 35 when in realtime battles zoomed in. Lowering settings to High and turning off SSAO and Vegetation Alpha restored the framerate to -52-60 during large 4k troops battles.

I managed to benchmark an average of 70 fps on Extreme (highest) setting. But realistically I only get about 50fps in game (no difference between campaign map)

Hey Buddy, better try HIGH settings at 1080p (no AA, keep unit size large). This is 3D RTS game not first person shooter you dont need 60. On HIGH youll get about 35fps zommed in battles, its hard to get 60fps at large battles even at MED.
