The AMD Radeon R9 380X Review, Feat. ASUS STRIX

Total War: Attila

The second strategy game in our benchmark suite, Total War: Attila is the latest game in the Total War franchise. Total War games have traditionally been a mix of CPU and GPU bottlenecks, so it takes a good system on both ends of the equation to do well here. In this case the game comes with a built-in benchmark that plays out over a large area with a fortress in the middle, making it a good GPU stress test.

Total War; Attila is another game that puts some memory pressure on 2GB cards and drives a larger gap between the R9 380/GTX 960 and the R9 380X. As a result nothing less than the R9 380X is able to average 30fps or better at 1080p, with the R9 380X 15% ahead of the GTX 960 in the process.
