Performance in extreme cases

[jasonditz]

I was playing in a 20 man multiplayer match and everything went fine for about 45 minutes of the 1 hour battle, but then things started slowing and I got booted for my computer not being fast enough.

Is this a function of graphics settings or raw CPU power? I'm using an A10-6800K on stock settings (linux/catalyst). I know 20-man is an extreme situation, and normal play is smooth as silk, but I'm trying to figure out if I can get away with these matches if I lower the graphics settings, or if it's just the CPU that's the limiting factor?

Heat issue sounds like . hot enough to slow down , but not quite hot enough to cause a shutdown.

also if you are using the hd 8670d its fairly weak, so you may want to look at upgrading that.

It's usually your Cpu, there's too many units on the field. You can check if it is by opening task manager (CTRL+ALT+Del) and looking CPU under processes.
