The first single-player campaign mission of the game was stressing only one CPU core, resulting in underwhelming performance. Creative Assembly claimed that it has optimized its engine in order to scale better on multiple CPU cores, however we were really disappointed with Total War: WARHAMMER’s CPU scaling. Total War has traditionally been a CPU-bound title. But that won’t really matter until we get the DX12 patch as right now, the game is CPU-bound and maxes out only two CPU cores. NVIDIA is working with Creative Assembly in order to improve performance on its graphics cards, and there won’t be a day-one ‘Game-Ready’ driver for it. Creative Assembly has provided us with a review code and it’s time now to see how this new strategy game performs on the PC.įor this PC performance analysis we used an Intel i7 4930K (turbo boosted at 4.0Ghz) with 8GB RAM, NVIDIA’s GTX980Ti, Windows 10 64-bit and the NVIDIA GeForce 365.19 WHQL driver. Total War: WARHAMMER combines the mechanics of the historical-based Total War series with the fantasy universe of WARHAMMER.

Total War: WARHAMMER is a game that a lot of strategy fans have been waiting for.
