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 45-second benchmark uses the built-in Ultra preset across all resolutions.

Take a game, practically any game, stick it at a 4K resolution, and Titan X does a good job of ensuring smooth, playable framerates.

A point reinforced by the results obtained when looking at what happens inside each frame. GeForce GTX Titan X is a good fit for a 4K-centric system. Readers with lower-resolution monitors can get away by spending a whole heap less money.

Is the 12GB framebuffer useful in today's games? Framebuffer measurements showed that no game used more than 3.3GB of memory at the highest resolution and image-quality settings. Sure, 6GB-plus could be engineered, but this card's huge framebuffer is, for today at least, more for show than practical purpose.
