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

[IamOdysseus]

I have made a benchmark for Shogun II:

The CPU test says ~24,7 fps for CPU benchmark and ~35,5 fps for graphic benchmark with your settings.
Intel Core i5-6300HQ Quad-Core (6M Cache, 2.3 GHz ~ 3.2 GHz)
RAM : 8 GB, DDR4 2133 MHz
Crucial CT525MX300SSD1 525,1 GB
NVIDIA GeForce GTX950M 2GB DDR5

Hi I was absent a very long time. Sorry I didn't maintenance this thread or others.

Given the activities during the time it seems benchmarking is not an important topic any more or my procedure to complicated? Or total war (center) not being major anymore?

I might try a last one on three kingdoms but I feel it might be no longer worth the time,
Do younger players use forums anyway these days ?! I feel so disconnected...

then again why 16 threads? and why 4 threads on a cpu that doesnt have 4 cores nor HT?

It's 4 threads (or more) on i3 (dual core with HT) and 8 (or more) on i7 (quad core with HT), the important thing is setting it to a number equal or higher than your number of threads, if you have HT. In his tests alQamar found the best results with 16 for i7 (but 8 wasn't that far from it) and 4 or 8 for i3 (in my test, with 2 cores HT, 4 was the best).

the i3 doesnt have HT for mobile I forgot that they have HT for desktops

Maybe someone out there is gaming on an 8 core Xeon...

yep thats the only explanation for the 16 threads

one thing I never understood was the HT in i3 on desktops

then again we dont have access to the code to see how is the distribution of threads and tasks for warscape

Intel i5-4670K, 4,1 GHz, Haswell, 22nm lithography, 84 Watts TDP, DDR3 1600 MHz CL9, Dual Channel: 42 FPS


NVIDIA GTX TITAN (MLAA): 106 fps

EVGA GTX 770 SC ACX (FXAA): 84 fps

EVGA GTX 670 FTW (FXAA): 77 fps

NVIDIA GTX 580 (MLAA): 49 fps

Explain this to me pls !!!! for example if a intel i5-4670k only gives you 42 FPS , why do you need a GPU that runs more than 42 FPS , that wouldnt be a waste to have for example a gtx 770 that delievers 84 fps !!!!!


Example : if u have a cpu = 42 fps + Gpu = 84 fps how many total FPS do you will get in total , in the game??????????

Usually you run at the fps determined by your GPU, which are higher. When you get close up or in thick melee battle the CPU has to do loads of calculations and starts bottlenecking so you get down to the fps determined by it, which are lower. So basically if you have GPU 84 fps and CPU 42 fps, you get 84 fps zoomed out and outside of melee combat and 42 fps while zoomed in and in melee combat.

I don't see a difference on my mobile

There is a space between "shogun" and "2" on some of the addresses you posted, if one just copy pasted them (like lazy me ) they wouldn't work, because in the correct address it's "shogun2" without a space.

[SamueleD]

On a 4670K, on 100% stock settings (including XMP Mem profile off) I got 28.9fps.

Can someone else with a 4670K please post their results with the same stock settings? I'm troubleshooting, and this is important.

EDIT: WAIT AND DANDY SECOND!
In this link posted by someone before: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/201...l-cpu-review/5

It shows a 4670K at 4.6Ghz only getting 37fps average.... that's pretty much what I was getting before, so I've been stressing about my PC for nothing. But someone has posted an average of 42fps on a 4670K running at 4.1Ghz.....

Once I get back to my desktop I'll be able to do some tests on that CPU, so we can confront our results, but you'll have to wait until September, sorry.

Hi Barbarian, his settings are not the cause I checked that with CPU-Z

I figured it out, it's the blood effects, lol. With blood effects I have 34fps, without 44fps Here, add this line to your "BenchmarkDX9CPU_preferences.script.txt" file in your "steamapps\common\total war shogun 2\benchmarks" folder:gfx_blood_effects false; # gfx_blood_effects , Enable Blood effects #

That could explain Splenyi's problem too You are German alQ, so I guess you haven't got the blood pack dlc?

[A Barbarian]

The blood effects configuration line is simply missing from all the predefined benchmark profiles. They were apparently never updated by CA to adjust for DLCs like the blood DLC. Since the line is missing, the benchmark will probably use what's configured in the user settings or maybe even enable it by default when it's not disabled explicitly. This will also influence graphics performance if people use different settings. The preferences.txt file from post #3 in this thread already contains gfx_blood_effects true; but AlQamar should actually change it to false, otherwise people without the blood DLC will report different performance. And the gfx_blood_effects false; has to be added to the CPU benchmark configuration file, otherwise performance for the same configuration will differ by 30%.

Btw, I am German too but I still have the blood DLC (wasn't much of a problem to get it).
