Total War: Rome II
Total War: Rome II is a strategy game developed by The Creative Assembly and published by Sega. It was released on 3 September 2013 for Microsoft Windows and is the eighth standalone game in the Total War series of video games. Rome II is a successor to the 2004 game Rome: Total War. The game suffered from significant technical problems upon release (some of which were fixed by the Emperor Edition), but proved a commercial success, surpassing all other games in the Total War series in both sales and number of concurrent players on its release day.
Heavily CPU intensive and pretty biased towards Intel processors, Rome II was a little too much to handle for this rig at the extreme preset at 1440p. At 1080p, it was more than adequate and 73 frames per second average is very good considering it’s maximum settings.
Well I bought one, I have been looking for a similar spec nano pc capable of games at decent frame rates and this ticked the box pretty much. Id have hoped the ddr4 would have been a faster version but all in all its a great price; especially when you spec it like for like on other sites. The r9 nano will certainly do until pascal arrives.
I’ve just got to wait for the build and delivery, I’m sure the wait will be worth it.
Let us know your thoughts when it gets there Jim. It’s nice to have feedback even if you disagree with some of our findings 🙂
Craig, Well I have got it now, it was ten working days in production, and about 24 hours for delivery. I did have an email and phone call about the 5th working day to inform me the r9 nano was not in stock; I had the option to wait or choose a different card, so for an extra £80 I chose a Zotac GTX 980Ti. So arguably even more powerful for the price.
The pc is great, very quiet even under load, the subtle red glow from the mobo, very snappy loading/boot times and the case is even better in the flesh, compact, premium and solid.
I’m happy with the service I received and order tracking, albeit the waiting time seems long, its been worth it, ticks the boxes on many fronts.
What do you think so far? 😀
