Yes, this is a common problem with the game. It will lag on most machines it is actually CPU bound, not your GPU. Try playing on smaller maps and limit the population to 600-800 units on the entire map.
Wiki/GamePerformance summarizes the problems, that need to be solved, to improve performance. |

(1) Every frame that is calculated by the GPU is "prepared" by the CPU, one of them will limit your frame rate (FPS). When you select graphics effects, you create additional workloads for your GPU and CPU, causing your framerate to drop. Current PCs are mostly CPU limited in 0 A.D. because the game is not yet multi-threaded. That means they usually only use 1 core. Since graphics effects mostly affect the GPU, you can (on newer PCs) choose the higher graphics effects without sacrificing performance. |

| This error message is almost always caused by an incorrect network configuration on the host side, not by a bug in the game. Please ensure that the host has the UDP port 20595 forwarded at their router to their private IP address. |

Port forwarding is a way to make a computer on your network accessible to computers on the Internet, even though they are behind a firewall/router. This is commonly used when playing games or downloading files. If you have forwarded a port in the router settings, it is referred to as an open port. 0 A.D. uses the port 20595 by default. |
