Total War: Warhammer

Publisher: Sega

From our Total War: Warhammer review:

'Total War: Warhammer is something genuinely very special. Somehow the team at Creative Assembly have managed to build a game that's the real deal both for the Total War faithful and the Warhammer fans coming to the franchise for the first time.'

For this game, we use a custom-made benchmark that shows a heavily populated battle between the Empire and the Greenskins. In the interest of full disclosure, this benchmark was supplied by AMD. This is another DirectX 12 test, and since FRAPS does not currently work with this benchmark we rely on its built-in reporting, which still give us an average and minimum frame rate. We test with the 'Ultra' preset, the highest available.
