Total War ROME 2 is the eighth stand alone game in the Total War series, it is the successor to the successful Rome: Total War title. The Warscape Engine powers the visuals of the game and the new unit cameras will allow players to focus on individual soldiers on the battlefield, which in itself may contain thousands of combatants at a time. Creative Assembly has stated that they wish to bring out the more human side of war this way, with soldiers reacting with horror as their comrades get killed around them and officers inspiring their men with heroic speeches before siege towers hit the walls of the enemy city. This will be realised using facial animations for individual units, adding a feel of horror and realism to the battles.
We test at Ultra HD 4K resolution with the ULTRA Preset.
NOTE: We also added test results at the ‘EXTREME' preset – a setting which has not yet been playable at 3,840×2,160.
Total War: ROME 2 is an incredibly demanding engine and even a single R9 295X2 can drop to 27 frames per second at Ultra HD 4K resolutions – at the ULTRA setting. The OverclockersUK “Infinity Vesuvius” R9 295X2 QuadXFire System produces an average of 109 frames per second, staggering performance. With the image quality settings toggled to EXTREME, the system maintains smooth frame rates, dropping only once below 30 frames per second.
No one really needs an average of 110 frames per second — however with dual R9 295X2's you are able to maximise the image quality without suffering from problematic frame rates.
I just wet myself with excitment. I love these crazy builds – ill never own one, so reading about it, is the next best thing !
Dear lord, a 1,500 watt power supply ! my own system which I thought was good is just hiding in the corner of the room crying like a little girl.
Those 3dMARK scores are insane. wtf is about all I can say.
What would this be like over 3 1920×1080 displays (eyefinity)?
Where do they got money ? i just have an 200$ or 150$ laptop 🙁 and thanks god that i have one).
Amazing performance from the 295×2. I’m impressed.
I just impressed with its resolution. 3840 x 2160! Your eyes!!! Ehem…
Ill be using this pc over the coming days using a paltry 5760×1080, will report back with some results.
Hi Rich – very envious! Let us know how you get on 🙂
Can honestly say this system runs absolutely everything at maximum graphical settings. I have to run an FPS limiter to match my 3 x monitors refresh rates in order to run titles without CPU limiting. It’s quiet, like really quiet considering the horsepower inside. One downside is the heat the system produces after a gaming session. So hot in fact I had to buy an airconditioning unit to cool the room down, still at maximum power the cpu and graphics temperatures never breach 65 degrees Celsius. It looks sweet too, the GPu’s automatically light up when in use, and turn off in idle mode. I’ll give this system a very commendable 9/10 purely down to heat, everything else is Great!
Congrats on wonderful system, Rich. I have my own cheaper setup using old rig, and ghetto mods on a HafX chassis to exhaust both cards hot air front and back. In my place where amb temp run at about 30-33C I am hitting 72-73C on BF4. If only we have winters here, this rig could be a good heater!!!
What a waste, the 4770 doesn’t even have enough pci-e lanes to run two cards in full x16 mode
because there is no card that need pcie 3.0 x16. x8 is enough for anything out right now.
