Sparkle GTX650 OC Dragon Series Review

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 use the built in STEAM benchmark with this game, so you can compare directly against your own hardware.

This game really does need a £200 graphics card to get the most from it at 1080p. The Sparkle GTX650 OC Dragon Series struggles to maintain good frame rates at these settings.

720p delivers better results, averaging over 50 frames per second and holding smooth frame rates at all times.
