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 3 Engine. We test using the Ultra preset, DX11 API.

Total War games are well known to prefer Nvidia GPUs, and that is clearly on show in Total War Saga: Troy. At 1440p, the 6900 XT is 8% slower than the RTX 3080, and it's 18% behind the RTX 3090, which is, relatively speaking, one of its worst results from the 14 games we benchmarked.

At 4K, that trend holds true, as the 6900 XT is still 18% behind the RTX 3090, and 7% slower than the RTX 3080. This means it is 8% faster than the 6800 XT.
