Palit GTX760, GTX770 and GTX780 Super JetStream Review

Total War ROME 2 is the eighth stand alone game in the Total War series, it is the successor to the successful Rome: Total War title. The Warscape Engine powers the visuals of the game and the new unit cameras will allow players to focus on individual soldiers on the battlefield, which in itself may contain thousands of combatants at a time.

Creative Assembly has stated that they wish to bring out the more human side of war this way, with soldiers reacting with horror as their comrades get killed around them and officers inspiring their men with heroic speeches before siege towers hit the walls of the enemy city. This will be realised using facial animations for individual units, adding a feel of horror and realism to the battles.

To test the cards today, we use the ULTRA settings above at both 1920×1080 and 2560×1600 resolutions.

This game plays very well on all three cards at 1920×1080, holding a frame rate above 30 at all times. In real world terms, this means the game runs smoothly all the time.

At 2560×1600 the Palit GTX760 Jetstream drops a couple of times below the sweet spot of 25 frames per second – meaning we would need to lower the image quality a little. The GTX770 Jetstream may only perform a little better with this engine, but it is enough to smooth out the judders during our tests. The GTX780 Super Jetstream is at the top of the pile with a totally smooth experience which feels identical to our tests at the lower resolution.
