Praised both by critics and gamers, the latest instalment of the Total War series takes strategy enthusiasts back to 16th-century Japan and presents a lavish blend of 3D real-time battles and turn-based management.

Sapphire's healthy overclock is certainly making a difference. In Total War: Shogun 2, the average frame rate at both resolutions is increased by over 12 per cent when compared to a reference Radeon HD 7770.

The boost in performance allows the card to leapfrog the steadfast Radeon HD 6850.
