oo skylake ddr3 is low voltage wan only can.

need to survey the used price for that to know how much roughly. good luck with the sales.

still waiting for big sale and maybe when most DLC is out like Attila only buy, since still havent finish Attila :S and not too interested in Warhammer.

Yeah. Much better. With amd, dx12 runs much better on my old pc even. I put almost everything on ultra, no aa and shadows low and can get average 25 fps, though I'm running 1600x900 resolution. I can get over 30 with 1920x1080 but have to reduce unit numbers to Normal though. Unfortunately I can't play Total War except on the highest unit count though.

Yeah. I decided to go skylake all the way. i3-6100 even on par with i5-2500 or i5-4440 already. With dx12, most of the graphics has been handled by gpu so maybe next month or the next I'll get rx 480.

I see on garage sales peopel are selling i3-2100 without hsf for 180 som maybe I can get around 280 together with mobo and hsf?

yeah Skylake i3 is not bad, later can go i7 summore. though i still feel TW:W is quite cpu heavy. RX 480! you getting which version? i am underwhelmed with Nitro+ cooling and their OC tbh. i think later got XFX/PowerColor coming, so more choices.

GTX 1060 is good also actually, at most it lose by a few FPS in DX12 for TW:W, RM1250 for Palit Dual and it OC quite well.

hmm i'm not familiar with the used hardware prices but maybe you can put slightly higher, since many people will ask for best price and try to lower it, from my experience.

Not sure yet. Or probably rx 470 if it shows good review. For me, as long as I can get stable 30 fps is enough. I don't play games that requires 100fps anyway lol....

won't it lag at 30fps?

Nope. Why lag? Movies ran at 24 fps... No lag.

i see always thought need 60 fps

Human eyes can only see at 30 fps only. Anyway normal people wants to reavh 60 id because of the dips and spikes so if dips low, let's say to 40 fps, you wont feel any difference unless you're looking at frame rate counter.

When I say 30 fps stable, I actualky mean trying to get around average 40+ fps so that even it dips down it wont go below 30 fps. AMD with DX 12 shows more stability so you wont see low dips and high spikes, unlike Rome 2 benchmark. Maybe once I finish everything I will post some screens. Probably best if I do something today using current rig so can have bettet comparison how much I gain, if any with hardware upgrades tomorrow.

Hey guys, is the beastmen DLC already ready for DL?

Should be.

Total War benchmark is bullshit. I think it doesn't take CPU load into account.

Here's my i7 2600 bottleneck on 2v2 battle. Warhammer: Total Slideshow.

Even in Shogun 2, my fps sometimes dropped below 20 in large battles.

I think that 1.5 GB update is the Beastman DLC although I have not purchased that DLC yet.

1.5? Mine is 3gb iirc.

My mistake, the download was 3GB this morning.

Want to start new empire campaign tonight if i can finish my rig. Want yoo see how the new enemy perform. Thisvtime maybe start witj Balthazar.

you need i7 boardwell-e 6950X for totalwar
then 4 sli comming pascal titan x along with 64 gig of PCI 2600 ram

Even on my laptop i7-6700 coupled with 980m and 16gb ddr 4 2311 mhz also damn slow in the map, the animation looks ok if i don't scroll around the map, during battle its OK though.

It's a turn base strategy game. How fast you want to go anyway.

I even got tricked into upgrading my windows to windows 10 because of some stupid dx12 benchmark preview.
