Total War: Rome II

Providing an excellent mix of strategy and action, Total War: Rome II's epic turn-based gameplay can swallow hours of your life. Our 45-second benchmark uses the built-in Ultra preset across all resolutions.

Everything looks ship-shape and Bristol fashion.

The real truth is that FRAPS calculates the minimum framerate over a full second, and doesn't take into account the length of each frame. There are instances where the effective framerate falls way below that, as shown by the 99th percentile graph above. What is interesting here is the last one per cent of slow frames are no better on SLI than on a single EVGA GTX 970 SSC, meaning the game isn't quite as smooth as the regular 4K graph suggests.

Contrary to what you see there, we'd take the 'slower' GTX Titan X for this game - its worst frames are better than the SLI duo.
