high-res textures pack performance hit

Post » Sun Dec 18, 2011 7:58 pm

I just built a new PC and was all excited to finally play with the high-res textures, DX11 and maxed out graphics at a solid framerate. I would have thought this would be no problem, considering C2 generally ran better than C1 on my old PC already. I can play with maxed graphics and DX11 just fine, but the highres textures turns it into a slide show in places, averaging 20-25 fps elsewhere. Is this normal, or do I have a problem somewhere? Specs below.
