Watch: How's Total War: Warhammer's performance?

Siege for yourself.

After yesterday's review of Total War: Warhammer, I saw a few comments asking specifically about the game's performance. This series has had its share of issues with PC optimisation and I figured it would be useful to show you what the game looks like in action.

Now, I'm playing on a fairly mid-tier machine, but even then, I'm able to play most of my campaigns on the 'ultra' graphics settings with no major complaints. However, in the video below, you can see what happens when I set up some of the largest battles the game can accommodate.

Here are my PC specs:

  • i7-4770S @ 3.1 GHz.
  • 8GB RAM.
  • Radeon R9 280.
  • 256GB SSD.
