Total War: Warhammer

Homepage: totalwar.com | Publisher: Sega | Developer: Creative Assembly

What do you get when you combine the addictive turn-based strategy of Total War with the monsters, warriors and heroes of Games Workshop's Warhammer? The answer is all sorts of fun, and for fans of either series, Total War: Warhammer is a must-have title.

This is the second title in a row where the cheaper Radeon RX 480 8GB card is able to match the performance of the GTX 1060 FE. The use of DX12 means that absolute performance is akin to a GTX 980 OC. That GPU was launched in September 2014 at an MSRP of $529, or a little more for partner OC cards. You can now get that kind of performance for about half the cost.

We've called it a tie in the commentary above; frame-time analysis shows that really is the case at a QHD resolution.
