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.
All settings are pushed to ultra with hardware shadows and SSAO enabled.
We use a very intensive game section to test at 1080p with the image quality settings maxed, and the Lightning proves to deliver excellent performance throughout.
The steam version of the game offers several prebuilt benchmark options which may be useful to test directly against your own system. Below are both results from the automated Direct X11 720p and 1080p benchmarks.
I saw this at OCUK a while ago, over £400 for a video card. ouch.
Looks great, but I need a new job. my 460 will have to last a while longer
Their cards are great, they normally take a lot longer to get to retail, same with ASUS. its down to their engineering teams who make the mobos. always can do more than the main players we associate such as powercolor, evga etc.
Id rather have one of these than the hideous 590./ what a dogs dinner that card was.
I bet tho if MSI made a 590 they wuold get the power regulation wright.
Wicked card, love it
two of these in SLI for folding @ home = perfection.
WEll it certainly shows that Nvidia should have got MSI to built their GTX590 instead of skimping on the power delivery system.
Asus and MSI rock, I do think its best actually waiting for a few months for these guys to release the cards, rather than jump onboard earlier with a poorer version.
the power on these cards is so important. its becoming more noticeable now.
Can kitguru find out if they are making a GTX590 with enhanced power components? id love an 18 phase 590. ive held off buying one due to the recall and problems. Thank god I didnt have the money at the time or id be the not so proud owner of a turkey now.
Excellent, now you need to review their new one !
WOuldnt mind one of these myself, I can only dream !
