Shogun 2: Total War Performance Analysis

DasReviews writes: "Sega released a demo for this upcoming strategy, so it’s time to see how it performs. We used a Q9650 @ 4.2Ghz, 4GB DDR2 and a GTX295. Our OS was Windows 7 64Bit and we used the latest version of ForceWare. Nvidia has already an SLI profile for the game, so you won’t have to mess with the Nvidia Inspector tool..."

Ok,.. Let me say one thing about the demo performance,..

For how it looks like,.. It is quite a system hog,..
No one can fucking tell me I should not be able to max it out on my rig (Well I can, but it is unplayable,.. I don't event think I had AA on at all).
They need to fix this shit, because It really is not jaw-dropping or anything,..

The graphics are really nice, but don't forget, Total War games are not a Halo or Killzone. Each of the soldiers have their own A.I. routines. So not only does your system have to deal with the detailed and nice graphics, it has to deal with the thousands and thousands of individuals on the battlefield, each doing specific things.

This game will tax modern day PC's, so unless you have a monster set up, Max settings will be unlikely.

Read the fucking article,.. Ok my rig is a bit better,..and I have 8gigs of ram,..
I think shit should run a lot better,.. That is all what I am saying,..

Of course I will be getting Shogun2 ,.. I love Total war games,..

I have an i7 950 @3.7Ghz, 12 Gig ddr3 1600 and an ATI 5870.

I can max the game at 1920 x 1200 and still get a great framerate.

Can't apply AA though for some reason as the AA drop down menu is empty.

macky3015538d ago

wow,..are you serious,..?
Well,.. Maybe I have something wrong with the gpu drivers or something,.. because except for you having 4Gigs more ram, my preformance should be somewhere there,..

have to look into it,.. thanx!

bumnut5538d ago

not sure if the extra ram is used, i just bought an extra 6 gig because it is cheap :)

I am not worried, I have a crossfired 6870, only bottle neck I have is I am still running a 3GHz Intel Dual Core with older RAM.

New Motherboard, with AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition 3.3GHz w/ 9MB Cache and 8GB of RAM is just around the corner.

This system will allow me to play any game on Max setting, and I will be able to encode HD video at an insane rate. Ahhhhhh!!!! The Power of a PC....

Xfanboy5538d ago

yeah I enjoyed the demo! It's a buy for me!

I have pretty much the same specs as the person who wrote this article and am suffering with the same issues :/ After 2 iterations I'd expect CA to have ironed out the issues with the warscape engine and be able to run the games at a good consistent framerate on high settings but after a huge battle the lag that comes from the bodies left over is just system crushing.
