Building a Core i7 HTPC with Sapphire Mini ITX H67

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 managed to get Shogun 2 playable with the Direct X 11 engine, although this was not possible at 1080p. Lowering resolution to 720p helps to massively increase the frame rate with this extremely taxing title. Anti Aliasing was disabled.
