Total War Saga: Troy is a 2020 turn-based strategy video game developed by Creative Assembly Sofia and published by Sega. The game was released for Windows on 13 August 2020 as the second installment in the Total War Saga subseries, succeeding Thrones of Britannia (2018). (Wikipedia).

Engine: TW 3 Engine. We test using the Ultra preset, with unlimited video memory enabled, DX11 API.

Second to last, we have Total War Saga: Troy. This DX11 title sees the RTX 3060 once more ahead of the RX 5700 by a decent margin – 13% at 1080p – while it's basically on-par with the RX 5700 XT. Compared to the RTX 2060 however, scaling isn't as impressive here, as the Ampere GPU is 16% faster than its predecessor.

Up at 1440p, that does improve, as the RTX 3060 is 19% faster than the RTX 2060, averaging 56FPS. It's still just about faster than the RX 5700 XT too.
