Asus Z87 Sabertooth Motherboard Review (w/ Intel i7 4770k)

Shogun 2 is set in 16th-century feudal Japan, in the aftermath of the Ōnin War. The country is fractured into rival clans led by local warlords, each fighting for control. The player takes on the role of one of these warlords, with the goal of dominating other factions and claiming his rule over Japan.

The standard edition of the game will feature a total of eight factions (plus a ninth faction for the tutorial), each with a unique starting position and different political and military strengths.

We run the DX11 Graphics High 1080p benchmark, available for this game in STEAM. You can therefore directly compare against your own system. Frame rates are rounded up or down to the nearest digit.

Both Core i7 systems are running at 4.5ghz on ASUS motherboards with 2,400mhz memory and the same GTX670 graphics card. It is not completely scientific, but as close as we can match. We use the built in benchmark to get accurate, repeatable results for these specific tests.


Excellent results from both systems, averaging around 74 frames per second in the built in benchmark.
