You'll need at least a mid-range GPU, like the GeForce GT 630M, to play the game at normal details and 1366x768 pixels. On the basis of this assertion, for low details and 1024x768 pixels, we recommend an entry-level chip on the level of the GeForce GT 720M or HD Graphics 4000. If you only take the benchmark into account and observe the recorded performance drops, you'll need an average of at least 40 fps to run the game fluidly. Even users of high-end systems have complained of jerky graphics.
The patches are supposed to help with the game's performance, but whether the developers' intentions come to fruition remains to be seen.ĭue to the fluctuating performance, it's not easy to reach a universally applicable conclusion about the game's system requirements. According to the developers, several patches should be released in the next few weeks. No current notebook graphics card can handle the top level, "Extreme". Only at high or ultrahigh details can we speak of first-class visuals. At low or medium details, Rome II looks quite ugly (muddy textures, missing vegetation, reduced object count, etc.).Įven on the "High Quality" setting, epic battles don't quite reach their full potential. Like we've seen with the Call of Duty series, the game's graphics quality degrades very quickly as you select lower settings. It's also a shame that Creative Assembly only built-in an anti-aliasing mode and didn't think the presets through as far as they should have (the highest setting only activates 2x AF, which takes hardly any computational power). Although Intel's HD Graphics 3000 and HD Graphics 4000 chips have a compatible feature set, we could only use the "low" and "medium" quality settings. Depending on the level and graphics card, the game uses the Shader Model 3, 4 or 5. Here we have about 20 menu items that span from "A" as in "anti-aliasing" to "W" as in "water". You can control the individual settings in the advanced options. Let's begin with the basic graphics menu, which offers a variety of resolutions and a whole six presets. The developers deserve to be praised for the comprehensive settings options.
