| THE GRAFICAL PART |
This subsection of our review highlights the main graphical aspects of this game. Particular attention is paid to the version of the graphics engine used, the version of the API used, graphic settings and the quality of development of the main visual aspects.
| SUPPORTED OS AND GRAPHICS API |
Total War THREE KINGDOMS is supported Windows 7 / 8 and Windows 10
The priority and main graphics API for Total War THREE KINGDOMS is DX11.
| GAME ENGINE |
Total War THREE KINGDOMS is based on the Warscape+ game engine. Warscape is a game engine developed by the British company The Creative Assembly for internal use in their Total War games. Warscape is intended for use only on personal computers running Microsoft WindowsThe first game to use Warscape was Empire: Total War, the fifth game in the Total War series, which was released on March 3, 2009.
Beginning with 2004's Rome: Total War, Total War games used the Total War engine, which was used until 2007's Medieval II: Total War - Kingdoms. After this, it was decided to create a new engine - “Warscape”, the first game on which was “Empire: Total War” in 2009. During the development of Napoleon: Total War, the engine was "well polished," Craig Laycock of The Creative Assembly told Armchair General. However, during the development of Total War: Shogun 2, the engine was further redesigned and significantly improved. The main innovation was support for DirectX 11 and some AMD technologies: Eyefinity and CrossFireX.
“Total War: Shogun 2” was promoted by AMD as part of a marketing campaign for HD 6xxx series video cards as a game that actively uses the capabilities of DirectX 11. However, a few days before the game’s release, it became known that it would not contain a DX11 mode. The developers stated that they did not have time to finalize this mode, and it will be released later as a patch. The heavily modified Warscape engine in Total War: Rome 2 made it possible to view exotic cities in the smallest detail, and the new camera makes it possible to observe the battlefield from any angle.
In Total War Warhammer, the developers have moved away from the 32-bit engine and the game runs in 64-bit mode by default, meaning it will no longer be limited by two gigabytes of allocated RAM.

| VIDEO MEMORY CONSUMPTION |
Testing of video memory consumed by the game was carried out by the program MSI Afterburner. The indicator was based on the results on video cards from AMD and NVIDIA with separate screen sizes 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 with different anti-aliasing settings. By default, the graph displays the most current solutions. Other video cards are added and removed from the chart at the request of the reader.
