The TWC Total War Benchmark thread - compare your real TW performance

[alQamar]

Wow thanks for that effort will check them tomorrow.


Guys we are few days before release. Anyone out there who haven't run the cpu benchmark yet? This can be run on any computer. Please try it.


Just had a quick view on the logs Iam afraid you will have to make all tests again as you missed to change number of threads to 16 for your i7 CPU. Sorry for that.

Actually I forgot to change them on the CPU tests but I did on the GPU tests Silly me !

You can still use the GPU tests

I will redo the CPU test with the right number of thread

Hi AlQamar,
I found out what was causing my high temps at stock - i had installed the back plate on the H100i cooler incorrectly don't think it was making the heat-sink have a good connection with the processor took me a couple of days to order some thermal paste and re-installed yesterday -
I overclocked to the processor to 4.3 GHz @ 1.2v with no issues ran a stability Aida64 for a couple of hours temps never spiked above 75c averaged 62-63c.
I ran the benchmarks as per the instructions but got weird numbers on some lines i.e. 392764.000,748119.000,751336.000, 420044.000 on the GPU benchmark Average FPS: 56660.3 and similar in CPU benchmark Average FPS: 122094?? and idea why that would be?
Don't think my hardware is that good ha-ha....
Thanks
best regards
Nippy

[alQamar]

It seems something is running in the background causing lags and so these results please close everything and reinstall drivers from my links if that doesn't help. Bios update done? The issue you have is very rare but you are not alone.

[Nippy]

Hi AlQamar
Closed all open items in tray -benchmarks worked fine then thanks Buddy!!
See attached
GPU Average FPS: 98.6125
CPU Average FPS: 42.1652
best regards
Nippy.

God bless ok it is late will validate tomorrow

Are the AMD GPU settings still work in progress? Just asking in case I have missed them.

[alQamar]

Yes. The problem is I have a comparingly bad participation with AMD rigs. It seems AMD users aren't so interested into tech things, benchmarks and improvements. As I don't have access to AMD hardware I cannot elaborate own suggestions. Sorry.

I really would like to have more partcipants here.

Again this thread was not made for Intel and NVidia fans and not for overclockers only.

I really need results of ordinary rigs aswell.
At least for cpu (processor) results as we don't have an ultra settings / dx11 or resolution limit.

I don't own S2 but perhaps once the R2 has arrived I can provide a benchmark using it instead.

[alQamar]

Ok thanks you. I am looking forward for the release date
Instead of nasty playing I will update this thread ASAP

[alQamar]

hi everyone who else got an account on totalwar.com aswell please support my thread

Why we do not get official information about the announced hardware optimisations?

[Odium]

Here is my CPU results. I did not run the GPU test because I do not have my 7950 installed yet. I am also wanting to overclock this 860 because it is stock right now and another person has gotten much more out of his 860 judging by the tests you posted.

[alQamar]

Thanks for that. I sent you a message. You got an i7? Please adjust number of threads please as described.

Here is the other file you requested. Thank you for all your hard work. It helps.

[alQamar]

I hope for that please support my thread linked in post #205

I will try to find out the mechanics of Rome 2 and will provide updated instructions if needed.

[alQamar]

now i can see the use of my thread fully: Nippy your results stunned me even you raised the resolution you got noticeable higher results.


@PYJ, you forgot the number of thread tweak on your CPU tests please do this and re-test, and let me know one you updated

I redid them
Actually pushing the number of threads to 16 lower the performance on my machine 26.6 vs 27.1 fps

strange ...

perhaps the Mobile Sandy bridge are optimized already

[ChumpChange]

Here is my results. I hope I got this right. I can do it again if I missed something.

[alQamar]

Hi Chump thanks for the results. I validated them and it seems you did not run the preferences.script.txt from my preset as the graphic settings are much lowered. Which GPU benchmark did you run? DX11 1080p high? The CPU benchmark was valid. Please also update your NVIDIA drivers. They are outdated.
