Total War: Pharaoh is a turn-based strategy real-time tactics video game developed by Creative Assembly Sofia and published by Sega. Part of the Total War series, Pharaoh is set in the New Kingdom of Egypt and its surrounding areas before the Late Bronze Age collapse. The game was released for Windows PC on October 11, 2023. (Wikipedia).

Engine: TW Engine 3 (Warscape). We test using the Ultra preset, 4X AA, with unlimited video memory enabled, DX11 API.

Lastly, we finish off our game benchmarks with Total War: Pharaoh. At 1440p we see one of the bigger leads for the 4070 Ti Super over the card it replaces, to the tune of 14% – I don't think we're running out of VRAM so the increased memory bandwidth is likely the reason for this. It's also one of the very few games where the Ti Super outperforms the 7900 XT.

Likewise at 4K, this time we're looking at a 15% uplift over the original 4070 Ti, and the Ti Super is now 11% faster than the RX 7900 XT.
