Battle Graphics Quality - Where U AT ?
Inside Dominions_3 you can go into Preferences then Video Preferences then select Battle Graphics Detail. Figured I'd list specific details for those unaware.
Selecting the category of High and also Draw Grass what's your frames per second?
Currently I have mine bouncing by +/- 8 frames, but showing around 50 FPS. This is an older graphics card(7600_NVidia) on my home system. My Laptop provided from my work shows around 12 FPS which uses an ATI Mobility Radeon X1300. I have another gaming system, but it's at my brothers house.
So with the High Setting and Draw Grass checked.... Where U AT?

Re: Battle Graphics Quality - Where U AT ?
I did some goofing around, I'm using an 8600GTS.
Dominions seems to cap in the mid 50s. I could bounce around the settings, and it was mid 50s on all of them. Selecting Too High once made it drop to bounce between 20-30 for a bit, even after dropping it again, it took a few moments for the engine to decide to go back to flawless.
Oddly, huge numbers of particles from Heat/Chill or Cloud spells still rub me raw. I wonder if some of the load is getting pushed onto my sweet sweet Pentium 805D, which my doctor said should not lift more than 10lbs.

Re: Battle Graphics Quality - Where U AT ?
My Computer is pretty beast mode and I still get a little lag when I set the graphics to "Too high".
I'll run a test with everything up and post the fps

Re: Battle Graphics Quality - Where U AT ?
I think I have mine on the lowest setting because the higher settings don't look any better to me.

Re: Battle Graphics Quality - Where U AT ?
When you set the graphics to "Too High", it means precisely that. At those settings, it draws every blade of grass to a distance of ten kilometers into the background, which makes for massive amounts of it. You'd need a 10k x 10k resolution or something to see the individual blades, but since all that grass is waving and so forth, it kills the game pretty much stone dead in battle replays.

Re: Battle Graphics Quality - Where U AT ?
Interesting that I get so low FPS with my rather fast system.
