System specs:
Intel i5-2500
GTX 960
8 GB RAM
Windows 10
Is this normal? DX7 is an insignificant improvement of abotu 2 or 3 FPS. I'm 99% sure it's a GPU issue because when I look away from the troops, FPS goes back up to 50+. I've set my resolution from 1920x1080 to 640x480. No difference. Max settings, min settings, no difference. Every combination of settings in the "Configure" menu, no difference. Every combination of nVidia's control panel 3D setup, no difference.
My hardware monitor shows that my CPU is mostly fine, working up to no more than 50%. But my GPU hits 100% every time I look at a large group of troops. Like I said in the title, it's no problem in Native:
100 vs 100 in Floris = 10-15 FPS when looking at troops fighting each other, plus constant stuttering
200 vs 200 in Native = 50 FPS, no stuttering
All troops are also loaded at once since my battle size is set to 500 (4.0000 in config text file). I've done hours of googling. I read a lot of people saying it's terrible for newer hardware. None of the results I've found come close to a GTX 960 example since they're all from 2013 or earlier. My GPU runs 2016 games that look a million times better than any M&B mod at 60 FPS no problem, without reaching 100% load on my hardware monitor. It's constantly at 100% in Floris during large troop battles.
Other info:
- I'm on Floris Expanded
- I've Floris' horse dust options turned off during install, and even downloaded the particle_systems.txt file to replace what is probably the same file anyway
I'm guessing there's nothing that can be done since I've come across dozens of google results facing similar problems, with none of them ever reaching a solution. But just on the off-chance that there's someone knows something I can do, like replace or remove some Floris files, here I am asking.
