With the way Banished runs I can definitely see the sort of problem that <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="<___base_url___>/index.php?/profile/8298-stiles/&do=hovercard" data-mentionid="8298" href="<___base_url___>/index.php?/profile/8298-stiles/">@stiles</a> mentioned being a potential culprit or at least a contributory factor. I'm using NVIDIA GTX 670, a card that's the generation before yours <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="<___base_url___>/index.php?/profile/6032-rejectedegg/&do=hovercard" data-mentionid="6032" href="<___base_url___>/index.php?/profile/6032-rejectedegg/">@rejectedegg</a> and I regularly use the <abbr title="Colonial Charter">CC</abbr> Very Large map sizes so I can't see your graphics card being a likely cause, (as in the hardware, the software is another matter again!) 




I don't recall if you mentioned what version of DirectX you're running the game under, according to my Banished options tab I'm running the game using DX 9.0c with VSync enabled, AntiAliasing set at 2x MSAA, Texture Filtering at Trilinear, Shadow Resolution and Shadow Quality both set at Medium and Reflections set at Terrain. I know some people have had varying degrees of success using DX11 and/or changing the other settings and I have a vague notion that I chose DX 9 because I had issues with the game when using DX 11.




I haven't got any concrete solutions for this so I'm just sort of throwing ideas out!
