Yes, GTX430.
I find that LOS guesstimation works fine most of the time. Experimented with some widget implementations of the view but couldn't get either of them to work satisfactorily.

Yes thats what I mean: Faster update, higher resolution and the ability to render shadows/ssmf at the same time.

You could use FPSManager to disable shadows in late game automatically:

I think that pathing and stuff is way more limiting than shadows if you have 4000 units. Did someone test if disabling shadows in late game really increases framerate significantly?

Yes.
Sli GTX 460s ran by an i7 2600k (4.6ghz) and 8GB ddr3 1600 ram.
9800gt ran by a Q8200 (2.33ghz) and 6GB ddr2 800 ram.

No. 8800GT. I use LOS-view (press L ingame) which disables shadows anyway.

GTS450 here
No shadows because last time I tried it meant 50% less FPS, while I prefered to have better terrain LOD range and more particles.
Going to try /shadows 2 now.

HD5770 and nope, not using shadows. Used to but then I figured it's not helping to keep up a good gameplay in late games when playing FFA/long team games.

Shadows and water are the only thing graphicwise that comes close to (or even beats) new games that have a tonload of money behind its production so yes, i have shadows on.
