SEGA has announced that Creative Assembly’s Total War: WARHAMMER has gone on to break franchise records during its first week on-sale. As the press release reads, the game has sold more than half a million units in the first few days, setting a franchise record for the fastest selling Total War title on Steam.
Studio Director, Tim Heaton, said:
“Total War: WARHAMMER has already proven itself as a runaway commercial success and more importantly we know our players are really enjoying the game. We have been regularly topping 100k concurrent players.”
Tim then claimed that the team paid particular attention to stability and performance, though as we’ve already showcased, the game is plagued by CPU scaling issues in DX11. The new DX12 patch that will be released soon is said to offer great scaling on multiple CPU cores, so stay tuned for more.
As Tim Heaton concluded:
“The team paid particular attention to stability and performance throughout the game’s development and thoroughly enjoyed creating new ways to play Total War within Games Workshop’s stunning Warhammer Fantasy world. We’re very proud of it, and it’s wonderful to see the game receiving such a great reception from critics, Total War veterans and new players alike.”

Great game. I love Warhammer and Total War. I can’t wait for DX12 patch. I want play this game on 4K on my TV.
People said DX12 was bad for NVIDIA cards but it’s good, at least for Pascals.
Its the same as for Maxwell, Pascal is just evolution not the Revolution.
DX12 Full Feature? NO
Async Compatibile in H/W? NO
Here in Depth Test, also Titan-X OC and 980Ti OC GPU’s included 😉

You keep ignoring NVIDIA’s Async Preemption don’t you, all you do is say the same thing.
you see that 4 fps difference between the fury x and gtx 1080 and then you had to go an post numbers that make nvidia look better…lmao just accept it.
These are proper official benchmarks moron, not leaked like you keep banging on about. Gamers Nexus uses proper methodology
how many times do i have to say you dont use a $600 gpu for 1080p.
you showed 1080p on high because it favors nvidia be we know the real 1440p results right that 7 fps difference .on that chard above with real gameplay thee was only a 4 fos difference..lol
Every site everywhere does 1080p benchmarks, so shut it moron, I don’t care for your preferences.
thats because 1080p favors nvidia if you use a $600 gtx 1080 for 1080p you are an idiot.
this is a 1440p card and we know those results and here are some more show amd beating gtx 1080 in dx12 go figure.real game benchmarks not FAKE benchmarks..lol
Funny isn’t it how you are showing a custom AMD provided DX12 benchmark on a game which doesn’t even support DX12 yet.
its from pc gamer turd.
AMD provided the DX12 benchmark code idiot because the actual game doesn’t use DX12 yet, moron.
all you are doin is trolling when you get showed up i cant wait when nvidi get async compute full support and jumps ship to dx12
i will give you hel* for that.
“AMD provided us with a preview build of the DX12 version of the game, which conveniently includes a built-in benchmark—or rather, it’s only a benchmark, so you can’t actually play the game”
Oh, that sounds bad.
But then again: why in this chart I can see that AMD and NVIDIA cards benefit similarly from DX12, even though NVIDIA seems to suck at it?
It’s mainly because AMD suck at DX11, so the DX12 gain looks far better. AMD have also improved their drivers since Omega, people can’t seem to get this into their thick head and NVIDIA already had good performance in DX11 with all their GPUs. People take AMD performance gains as NVIDIA gimping their older GPUs, which is false of course because it’s been tested and the older drivers don’t give any gains over the newer drivers(nothing new about that, older drivers used to be better any for some people and people didn’t complain).
Also people are not factoring the console GCN optimisations and the fact that their GPUs are a mix of different GPUs, like Tonga, Hawaii, Fuji all with different GCN versions. AMD GPUs are simply a mess to the point that the R9 370/X only supports GCN 1.0 which is same as the 7000 series, 7730 and above.
they say that because amd get a big boost and nvidia doesnt that all there is a lot of amd hate.
We need DX12 for the old cards. Why should i care if a card that already gives me 60 + fps works better?
Those cards will destroy with or without it.
But yea, still cool i guess. I’ll also upgrade to a 1070 or 80. Shame they cant support the old cards, thats why we have to upgrade.
I think they simply couldn’t make old cards greatly benefit from DX12. You can’t magically change the architecture so it’s fully compatible with the newest DirectX.
That’s why we shouldn’t be surprised with those scores and just accept the fact that we got to upgrade hardware.
And it isn’t a big pain, it’s just one upgrade.
Yea sadly 🙁 Which is why i aint too hyped about DX 12 or Windows 10.
look at thats gtx 1080 vs the older fury x 4 fps difference…dx12 is for amd…lol
because of twitch it can make or break games.if the top streamers like it its gold.
More broken totalwar = more sales, Rome 2 also was also a huge hit, actually one of the fastest selling TW games ever and one of the broken ones.
