FPS performance falls dramatically as game progresses

40 votes

- fresh games start at 100+ FPS with just my Main Base
- at about 4 expansions i'm already averaging 40FPS, most of the time in the 20's
- switching between DirectX and OpenGL, setting VSYNC on/off, going to the lowest settings, and running the game either at 1x or 2x speed doesn't make performance differences
- having 5 live video streams through a browser running on a second monitor, 2 browsers open with 20 tabs in each, and having no extra programs running on the side doesn't make a difference
- playing the game after a fresh restart with no other programs running does not make a difference
- GPU/CPU temps are always under 60 with the fan still running on low speed
- GPU/CPU loads are always under 10%
