| BASIC GAME INFORMATION |
Year of construction: 17 February 2022
Genre:RTS
developer: CREATIVE ASSEMBLY
Publisher: SEGA, Feral Interactive
Total War: WARHAMMER 3 is the epic and dramatic conclusion to a trilogy of strategy games. Gather your troops and enter the Kingdom of Chaos - an abode of unimaginable horrors, where the fate of the entire world will be decided.
Away from the familiar world with its pitiful wars, a new dimension awaits you, where only dark magic rules: the Kingdom of Chaos. This terrible place is incomprehensible to mere mortals. His lands promise tremendous power, but are fraught with pernicious temptations. Temptations that tarnish the soul. And they consume it.
| 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 Warhammer 3 supported Windows 7 / 8 /10/11.
The priority and main graphics API for Total War Warhammer 3 is DX11.
| GAME ENGINE |
Total War Warhammer 3 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.
| SETTINGS |
Total War Warhammer 3 has a wide range of graphic settings.
Below we have provided screenshots of the game at various graphics settings, where our readers can see the difference between the minimum and maximum graphics quality settings.
| QUALITY MODES |
| TECHNOLOGIES |
The graphics in Total War Warhammer 3 are in many ways similar to previous games in the series:
Well, then we will move directly to gaming tests and determine what impact this game has on modern computer hardware.

Our video cards were tested at different screen sizes of 1920x1080, 2560x1600 and 3840x2160 at maximum default graphics quality settings with unlimited video memory.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX and GTX video cards are provided by LLC Business Development Center.
| TEST GPU |
In the video card test, the default resolution is 1920x1080; other resolutions are added and removed manually. You can also remove and add any positions of video cards. You can also select any of our test processors from the list in the drop-down menu, comparing its performance with the given video card tests (by default, the most productive solution is selected). The test is carried out on the most powerful CPU in this game and is scaled to other processors, taking into account their testing on NVIDIA and AMD video cards.

When resolved 1920x1080 an average FPS of 25 frames was shown by video cards of the Radeon RX Vega 56 or GeForce GTX 1070 level. Minimum FPS of at least 25 frames can be provided by video cards of the level Radeon RX Vega 56 or GeForce GTX 1070. A comfortable average FPS of 60 frames can be provided by solutions Radeon RX 6700 XT or GeForce RTX 2070s.
When resolved 2560x1440 an average FPS of 25 frames was shown by video cards of the Radeon RX Vega 56 or GeForce GTX 1070 level. Minimum FPS of at least 25 frames can be provided by video cards of the level Radeon VII or GeForce RTX 2070. A comfortable average FPS of 60 frames can be provided by solutions Radeon RX 6800 XT or GeForce RTX 3070 Ti.

| 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, 2560x1440 and 3840x2160 with various 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.
