Have recent patches made performance worse?

i've a fight with awakened empire last night
150k vs 300k fleets
it was ~10fps
core i5 3570k 4ghz, 16gb ram, gtx970

I have the same cpu. You should be able to overclock it to 4.5 GHz (I have), maybe more. 8 GB RAM, 2 GB VRAM on GTX770

I'm using an AMD 8320 (OC'd to 4.7 GHz) with a GTX 480 4GB and 16 GB RAM. I went from 1.6.1 to beta patch 1.5.1 and went from an average of 9 FPS to 60 FPS. I hope you all have the same luck.

Cheers!

I don't get any actual FPS drop, per se, but there is a noticeable slowdown in the game (as it how long it takes for a day to tick..probably goes from 0.5s per day at the start to 1-2s per day by year 100) as it progresses, but not enough to make it unplayable by any means. However, I expect a certain slow down because as Empires grow, POP's do POP stuff etc, there's more going on. And this is a galaxy of 5k stars with 2x habitable worlds.

Oh and I must run about 60 mods all in all, some cosmetic, but others huge overhauls like Alphamod.
