Total War: Rome II

Providing an excellent mix of strategy and action, Total War: Rome II's epic turn-based gameplay can swallow hours of your life. Our 60-second benchmark uses the built-in Extreme preset at 1080p and the Ultra preset at 4K.

The benchmarking suite runs the most demanding visual settings at 1080p and, at the very least, high-quality at 4K. Even such a resolution and IQ load isn't enough to tease out differences in framebuffer. AMD and Nvidia got it right when using 4GB on their premium GPUs.
