im on 46 inch but not 4k I dont think it would make any noticeable difference since the source doesnt provide 4k data.

AOE3 doesn't even support 16:9 without stretching the interface. 1440p is already too much. 2160p is pointless.

I would NOT recommend trying to play on a 4k monitor, aoe just doesn't scale properly at that size unfortunately. Also moving to tech support forum.

If you have a 4k monitor, you have the computer to support it. Go run Farcry 4 on max settings or whatever people do with those beasts. AoE3 is the game of the mediocre laptop/5 year old desktop :p

I run AOE on my 2880x1800 retina macbook, but for a the PPI is just wayyyyy too much so I've downscaled to 1920x1200 to be able to discern things.

I play on a Samsung 30" 4k UHD and the game runs super smooth. The text is readable and looks fantastic. only issue I see is gold mines appear miniscule on the minimap. And the pointer is somewhat small also. Otherwise works fine. I have a 4790k 32gb ram and crossfire 390x.

To all, what models and age are your screens? Connection type to graphic card? I'm wondering if the variables might be worthwhile to look into.

I am working with many vendors and companies on the next generation 3d printers. MasterCAM is for fixture design, and solidworks for 3d modelling. We are testing worst case parts and simplest parts to improve material reliability.
