    I've all three expansions and am playing the game at 2560 x 1440. The game runs smoothly only occasionally, and usually only when there is very little on the screen and no enemies nearby. If I were to guess, I'd say the game is usually only in the 15 - 25 fps range.

    Machine specs are:
    • Windows 7, 64bit
    • Intel i7-3770K (quad core at 3.5ghz)
    • 32 gigs memory
    • Nvidia GTX 690
    • Playing off a SD

    The game runs almost exclusively off your CPU. The GPU offers almost zero advantage. That is why it runs like that. Play in a window at a smaller size and you will see that it flies just fine like that. It is doing software rendering and that sucks up CPU like nothing else could.

    I've been having an issue with hang ups for several seconds at a time, but just since the most recent patch :(

    Actually, it seems that running on the game in openGL mode has provided a substantial boost to performance.

    Maybe on some machines, but not all of them. Take mine for instance, which gets a top of 25 fps at 1920x1080. If i have the tools necessary to get better performance, then what can I do to get a 60 fps?
