Shogun 2 is set in 16th-century feudal Japan, in the aftermath of the Ōnin War. The country is fractured into rival clans led by local warlords, each fighting for control. The player takes on the role of one of these warlords, with the goal of dominating other factions and claiming his rule over Japan. The standard edition of the game will feature a total of eight factions (plus a ninth faction for the tutorial), each with a unique starting position and different political and military strengths.
We run the DX11 Graphics High 1080p benchmark, available for this game in STEAM. You can therefore directly compare against your own system. Frame rates are rounded up or down to the nearest digit.
Real in game performance varies substantially across the environments and levels, but we include these results so you can compare directly with your own system. If the game delivers good frame rates with the 1080p benchmark, you can sure it will run well with high image quality settings in game too.
This is a demanding Direct X 11 engine, although it has been very well optimised to run on a variety of AMD hardware. The Sapphire HD7790 OC 2GB performs well, averaging well over 40 frames per second.
Who makes the pricing of these things up? surely thats not going to sell based on 7850 price. still, good card, I hope MORE manufacturers start using backplates to cool memory and protect them. they are also much stiffer in the slot and dont warp.
Great looking board, but HD7790 are too expensive. HD7850 is much better buy now, they dropped from 160 to 140 ish recently, meaning HD7790 is too expensive.
