I'm really hoping I won't have to upgrade my PC for this game. I will cry. Until I die.
In of the the videos Uther posted, one of the guys said he would normally be able to to pretty much max graphics or very high and have no problems until it was something like a melee cluster and he were to zoom in, then the frames would drop a good amount. I guess a lot of the focus was on the "duel" style combat of Rome and they made the frames/game waver a bit. Since they said they are getting away from that and going more on a MTW2 style, and with some more tweaking and optimizing, hopefully my rig, and most peoples for that, can run this game at a solid 60 fps on at least high settings.
