Medieval 2 at 4k?
Since this game is so old can I crank the resolution up real high and still get 60fps? Does the game even support 4k? Finally what GPU would I need, I have a gtx 670.

Why don't you try it out?

Allbeit, such an old card and 4k might be stretching it quite a lot.

I think you can set the resolution in the preferences files. Medieval 2 is older than my graphics card, so I'm banking on gpu increases since then.

as far as I know, the max resolution you can pick ingame is your native desktop resolution but yeah, you can dive into the medieval2.preference and change the resolution in there.

Do keep in mind that you will need to change both the battle and campaign resolution and keep in mind that people have reported issues with their ingame resolution not being the same as their desktop resolution, leading to crashes.

I've been playing 4k60 after changing prefs, no issues maybe 1 crash after a long battle chasing down archers for half an hour, the terds. My mouse cursor was so tiny though, i had to change win10 scaling to 350% to be playable. Using a og titan, i566600k. Btw I'm may just be nostalgic but I think this game looks so good to me in many places, except faces. I looked at some wild flowers flowing in the wind for awhile the other day, then looked at the horse's dead eye and remembered how old a game.

Have you ever seen Rome in 1 1920 resolution? It's pixelated as ♥♥♥♥. I know Medieval 2 is a big improvement graphics wise but 4k would likely give a similar side-effect.

Not pixelated to my eyes in med2, i think the polygon count must me much higher in that game engine. To me higher resolution reduces large polygons (pixels) and packs them together tighter, appearing less pixelated, btw 3840x2160 is quite the jump (4x) as compared to 720 to 1080.

Of course I'll play at any resolution, i wonder what resolution monitor I had with the original total war game shogun? Prob 800x600 or 1270x720 can't remember.
