4K - Total War: Rome II

Homepage: totalwar.com/en_gb/rome2 | Publisher: Sega | Developer: The Creative Assembly

Providing an excellent mix of strategy and action, Total War: Rome II's epic turn-based gameplay can swallow hours of your life.

Total War: Rome II's average framerate is so much lower because the settings are the same as 1080p. In order words, the ultra settings don't use AA at either 1080p or 4K. No card comes out of this test with merit.

By now you should know what low framerates mean: a low percentage of overall frames within 33ms. The super-stuttery nature of the title is evidenced by the slowest frames taking around 100ms (10fps) to be pushed out.
