Total War: Pharaoh is a turn-based strategy real-time tactics video game developed by Creative Assembly Sofia and published by Sega. Part of the Total War series, Pharaoh is set in the New Kingdom of Egypt and its surrounding areas before the Late Bronze Age collapse. The game was released for Windows PC on October 11, 2023. (Wikipedia).

Engine: TW Engine 3 (Warscape). We test using the Ultra preset, 4X AA, with unlimited video memory enabled, DX11 API.

Our final test for rasterised performance is Total War: Pharaoh, which sees the 4080 Super hit 74FPS, so it's a single frame faster than the 4080. It does at least come in faster than the 7900 XTX here, by a 7% margin at 4K.
