Total War Saga: Troy is a 2020 turn-based strategy video game developed by Creative Assembly Sofia and published by Sega. The game was released for Windows on 13 August 2020 as the second installment in the Total War Saga subseries, succeeding Thrones of Britannia (2018). (Wikipedia).

Engine: TW Engine 3 (Warscape). We test using the Ultra preset, with unlimited video memory enabled, DX11 API.

Likewise, for our penultimate game test we come to Total War Saga: Troy. Performance isn't too bad at first glance, the 6500 XT is still slower than the 1650 Super but it’s averaging just under 60FPS which is always a good start. PCIe 3.0 lops off 17% of the performance though, at which point you are once more better off with a GTX 1060, while an RX 570 also delivers the same average performance but with slightly better 1% lows.
