Odd question about slow graphics

It might have made better use of the graphic card it knew, than the newer ones.

It has alot of things you can try though. Lower graphics settings and such. Look in the file about command_line switches and edit the icon that calls up the game

There was (is?) a problem with some graphics cards having a really low frame rate. At least I had a frame rate of around 2-3 fps with card's (Radeon something) manufacturer's drivers.

Tried some third party drivers and the frame rate went up to 50+ fps. Worth a try if you haven't already.

Doesn't Dominions use OpenGL?
And don't most Radeon cards have problems with OpenGL?

Atleast, so I've heard.

On my aging system, which seems to barely have the specs to run Dominions, I have to turn off the background wallpaper ('w' key) to get the battles to play at a tolerable speed.
