Middle-earth: Shadow of War is an action role-playing video game developed by Monolith Productions and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. It is the sequel to 2014’s Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, and was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on October 10, 2017. (Wikipedia).

We test using the Very High preset.

 

At 1080p when playing Middle Earth: Shadow of War, the Aorus falls just behind the Palit RTX 2080, but at both 1440p and 2160p it just edges ahead. The ASUS ROG Strix card, though, is still marginally faster.
