AMD Carrizo Part 2: A Generational Deep Dive into the Athlon X4 845 at $70

Total War: Attila

The Total War franchise moves on to Attila, another The Creative Assembly development, and is a stand-alone strategy title set in 395AD where the main story line lets the gamer take control of the leader of the Huns in order to conquer parts of the world. Graphically the game can render hundreds/thousands of units on screen at once, all with their individual actions and can put some of the big cards to task. In our benchmark, the in-game scripted benchmark is used with the option for ‘unlimited video memory’ enabled.

For this test we used the following settings with our graphics cards:

Similarly to Alien Isolation, when we push Total War: Attila high up on the quality, the Pentium pushes ahead. None of our processors on the mid-to-high GPUs could push beyond 30 FPS average however, although the Pentium gets close with the GTX 980.
