Greetings TWC members!
Continuing the legacy: Here it is: the 6th iteration of TWC exclusive Total War benchmarking thread.
This thread is not a hardware advice thread but will give you a clear idea, which hardware will give you a certain level of playability at the graphical presets in Tota War Saga: Britannia, defined by CA.
With the help of this thread you will get an idea of what you get and what you can expect for your bucks when it comes to hardware and performance in this next Warhammer title.
Reminder: It is not a thread for hardware advice. If you are looking for this I would like to pass you on to more specific thread by HigoChumbo over here (for WH 1 /2).
So why benchmarking games instead just playing them?
Some think benchmarking is no good but for some few those enjoy putting all their eggs (not guts) in one basket or simply showing off other people .
This can be the case but nevertheless this thread should not be considered to be a place for nerds only, having the most potent hardware around, but should be also a place for all others having weaker and more common hardware setups. Also their results are much more important, because they are quite the majority of common of Total War players.
That said: Benchmarking can be fun for everyone regardless the hardware setup you have, to compare your individual performance to others and often enough find improvements.
Here are some benchmark threads that I hosted and many people contributed with passion to provide their results:
Total War Center - Total War benchmark thread anthology:
Warhammer II
Warhammer I
Attila
Rome 2 (post #10)
Shogun 2 (post #5 and #6)
As always I will try to find the easiest way possible for everyone to participate so it shall and hopefully will not fail just because you aren't a computer expert.
Have a look at this thread again in a couple of days for detailed instructions. If you are willing to participate or interested into the results don't forget to subscribe.
