Well guys the thing you have to face is that this game is going to be very CPU dependent no matter what you do, im running an i78700K, 2080TI, 32gb of 3200mhz RAM on Z370 Carbon Gaming Pro MSI Motherboard one 250gb SSD but I keep bannerlord on my HDD as tbh i didnt notice an improvement on the SSD even with loading screens when I switched it over for experimenting. Now field battles run smooth as butter seemingly no matter how many troops I put on them but siege battles particularly in larger cities instead of just castles I sometimes see sub 30fps at 1440P resolution, turning off dynamic shadows and some other settings helped to curb this but it still occurs. Now yes I know we dont buy 1200 dollar graphics cards to turn down settings but unless you have a ****ing LGA 2066 Socket top of the line CPU with 64 gb of 4000 mhz RAM and dual 2080TIs you probably wont be running at a constant 60-144 FPS during big siege battles at 1440p resolution its just unrealistic between the games optimization and the actual limitations of hardware.
