Looking for Warhammer benchmarks? Have a read here.
Looking for Attila benchmarks? Then get over here.
This thread is combined for Rome 2 and Shogun 2.
Hello everyone,
I made this thread because a lot of people currently ask one question:
Will my desktop computer /laptop be able to run Rome 2 and if so what settings and how many fps? How fast will it work with full ultra settings?
Please take some of your time to participate and submit your own Total War benchmark results.
The more results from different computer we can collect here, the easier it should be for everyone to see how much an upgrade or new PC will help you to improve your gaming experience.
Additionally it definitely helps the HW advice team to have an independent reference for the HW advice team.
This thread will be constantly updated. Please refer the Thread changelog. Main aim is on benchmarking Rome 2 now, but feel free to add submission for Shogun 2 aswell.
