That's a good thing as you can see the performance scales greatly as well. If there's anything evident here is this game scales in detail like crazy. First off, it shows us how the game looks at various presets as well as how performance scales with those settings. Testing presets at 4K gives us a couple of quick metrics before diving into the game too deeply.

Ryzen 9 3900X 4.3GHz All Core Lock (disable one CCD for 3600X Results) Put another way, 99% of the frames will achieve at least this frame rate. For those uncertain of what the 1% percentile is, representing is easily explained as showing only 1 frame out of 100 is slower than this frame rate. 1% reporting and are now using the 1% percentile. We report our performance metrics as average frames per second and have moved away from the 1% and. Once we had the results from 3 runs, after discarding an initial burner run for loading purposes, we took the average of average frame rates as well as the 1% percentile results from the run. So if you find yourself with much higher performance comparatively, check which benchmark you're running.

Just a note, the Battle benchmark included in the game (the one we used) will yield the lowest performance numbers, typically about 60% fo the performance figures the other two benchmarks yield. We ran the 90-second benchmark three times capturing results using FrameView. We chose to go with the Battle scene as it was the absolute most strenuous of the three and is representative of a scenario where your framerate stability would matter most, the heat of battle. Ultra preset is the name of the game here in this test as we wanted to really put the screws to everything and see if this game could be run at the Ultra preset and we found it to be much harder than expected.

Thankfully the game features a repeatable built-in benchmarking utility that gives you the chance to test out the game's performance across three different scenarios. Total War Saga: Troy comes with the typical array of presets ranging from Low to Ultra with even more settings to tweak over the Ultra setting for those crazy enough to endeavor there.
