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.

Finally we come to Total War Saga: Troy. Like Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, I suspect CPU bottlenecking comes into play here, as even at 1440p we're not seeing quite the same scaling as our other titles, as demonstrated by the 3080's 20% lead over the RTX 2080 Ti. It's still a very healthy improvement, but we have seen better.

Even at 4K, the jump over the 2080 Ti works out at 26%, so this is a slightly below average improvement over last generation's flagship. When compared to the 2080, the RTX 3080 comes in 61% faster at 4K.
