Very large zergs might have significant fps drops. Isn't your pc, it's the old gamebryo engine. probably some tricks and such to help out like bitsum process lasso, or shuting down services not needed or something.

I would look into DirectX being an issue. Even the live forums may provide answers. You may have to upgrade them or even downgrade them based on compatibility issues.

Maybe related to that. Also ensure your system firmware is up to date.

Also chceck if all drivers on your PC are up to date, also disc firmware.
