Gigabyte GTX780 Ti Windforce OC Review (1080p, 1600p, 4K)

Total War ROME 2 is the eighth stand alone game in the Total War series, it is the successor to the successful Rome: Total War title. The Warscape Engine powers the visuals of the game and the new unit cameras will allow players to focus on individual soldiers on the battlefield, which in itself may contain thousands of combatants at a time.

Creative Assembly has stated that they wish to bring out the more human side of war this way, with soldiers reacting with horror as their comrades get killed around them and officers inspiring their men with heroic speeches before siege towers hit the walls of the enemy city. This will be realised using facial animations for individual units, adding a feel of horror and realism to the battles.

We already know from the previous page that testing this game at the EXTREME image quality settings would lead to unplayable frame rates at Ultra HD 4K resolutions. We dropped the image quality to the ULTRA preset.

This engine is very intensive and proves a little too demanding for the hardware at these settings to maintain 25+ frame rates at all times. Thanks to the substantial overclock however the Gigabyte GTX780 Ti Windforce OC maintains the highest minimum frame rate.
