Don't laugh - I STILL love to play an old RTS called Supreme Commander 2 - just cant put it down lol

Now, when there are hundreds of units on screen, the gameplay slows down considerably and I wondered if anyone could tell me whats the best way to improve that.

Its a really old game and I dont thin it uses multi core CPUs effectively - I think its designed to run on single core or duo core so my Ryzen 3700X should have enough cores - its a 3080Ti gfx card and I play at 2560 x 1440 with 16GB DDR Ram.

Whats the best way to find out whats choking the game speed?
 
Not using any mods, no - cheers for the info - will check that thread out.

Gonna run it with task manager - forgot that even existed lol
 
Just had a quick game - the CPU was never more than 21% utilised - the RAM was almost fully loaded at peak times, however. Amazing how much of a resource hog a few pages open in the edge browser can be. Shut down browsers and other non-necessary background processees and it ran MUCH better
