My problem is that I get WORSE performance in Conquest and Operations. I used to have 50-60 on medium and now I get 40-50 on medium. The lowest I’ve seen was 29 on St. Scar at A flag when looking to the city. I thought AMD cpus have lower power per core, not better…

that’s a bunch of BS.

the OP’s specs are fine for this game. in fact, it should be getting more than 60fps, especially on medium settings.

people need to stop giving bad advice and just wait for a patch.
