Supreme commander performance issues

I have an Athlon64 3500XP overclocked from 2.2GHZ to 2.57GHZ, 2GB of RAM and a Geforce 7800GTX clocked to from 430/1200MHz to 490/1300Mhz. Phew thats over with.

Anyway before I did my overclocks I played Supreme Commander and It strained to run at a decent frame rate like *censored*. Im running it again and I think its better. Is there anyway to do a benchmark or something to compare the difference?
Also does anyone think I need an upgrade, I thought my PC was pretty ninja especially after the clocking but Supreme Commander does tend to push it with lots of units on screen.
Tanx for the thoughts.

Supreme Commander is a pretty intensive game, it taxes my friend's PC with 2Gb RAM, Core 2 Duo E6600 and ATI Radeon X1950XTX.
I don't think you need an upgrade, maybe consider reducing the detail levels a bit to improve your frame rates.
As for benchmarks, most games include a way to measure this, check the options for a TimeDemo mode or similar.
You may have lots of background tasks running, consider disabling any you don't need.

What resolution are you running at?

I prefer 1600x1200 because I have a big monitor but I do knock it down to about 1280x1024 If it gets busy and it seems to make some difference. It's just hard to tell sometimes by looking at it. I get the impression the frame rate is similar regardless of detail.

Hmm... when does it become unbearable? when you have 500+ units slugging it out??

My Computer (referenced earlier by Calum :p ) is Very Good up about 750+ units, but it is still playable.

It is probably a resolution problem... but maybe its a actual game instillation problem, as referenced on Gas Powered Games Forums. i would link to it but i forgot the location apparently if there was a problem/power surge during install or if the DVD-drive had a problem, or any of a hundred of hardware problems... it would not correctly install one of the engine files and it would fail too hold up under stress apparently...

But that is a rare problem. i would have a better look at your system... i personally think a totally over clocked system would never ever hold up very well under a high processor Dependant game, maybe RAM also needs upgrading.

that and i don't think pure over clocking is good for a system IMO.

please get back to us if you fix it
