Right now I'm playing on Large map, (Edit: Renessaince Era, 190 turns in), and only have my 1 large continent fully explored. The game is just SLOW, and takes a very long time between turns, so much so that I'm not really motivated to even finish this game since it would take so long.
My specs are as follows: Windows 7 x64, Core i7 920 (OC'd to 3.2ghz), 6gbram, 80gb SSD, ATI 4890). I can pretty much play any modern game fully maxed out without any hitches - so why does Civ 5 give me slow issues?
Directx 9, 10, 11 give me all the same performance speeds. I have everything maxed out on the detail section, and I'm guessing if I lower something I may get better performance - what do you guys suggest? What do you lower to get the most bang for the buck performance/image quality?
I did a quick search, and it seems most of the technical issues are associated with bugs and crashes - and my Civ 5 is so far bug free / crash free, so I don't know if I fall into that category.
