On the campaign map, we can see similar trends, with the RTX 2080 Ti appearing totally CPU limited. Battles can scale to insane sizes in Total War: Three Kingdoms, making a constant 60+ FPS framerate a difficult ask. Higher settings will need higher-end hardware, and remember that there will still be performance dips in demanding scenes. Examples of this are in our RAGE 2 and Yakuza Kiwami 2 performance analysis pieces.įor 60+ FPS gameplay in most instances, PC gamers will need a Radeon RX Vega 56, or Geforce GTX 1070 or better graphics card at 1080p High settings.
It is worth noting here that the RX Vega 56 usually competes with the GTX 1080 and RTX 2060 in most modern titles.
This is one of the few cases where the Radeon RX Vega 56 offers performance parity with Nvidia's GTX 1070. First, that the game is CPU limited, as evidenced by the RTX 2080 Ti's minor performance advantage over the RTX 2060 and GTX 1080, and second that the game runs a lot better on Geforce graphics hardware. In Total War: Three Kingdoms, two performance trends are clear from the getgo. 1080p Performance - Campaign and Battle Benchmarks
