It’s worth noting that 343 Industries and Creative Assembly have addressed the game’s performance issues we reported. As we can see, the latest patch that was released brought significant performance improvements.
Thanks to this patch, our CPU usage was increased and our framerate never dropped below 60fps (1080p on Ultra settings), even when there were lots of explosions and units on screen.

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
