The game can actually be cranked above the Very High settings by manually enabling features such as tessellation and when cranking everything to the very maximum the game was GPU bound, but the framerates were mostly around 10 FPS. The game appeared to be CPU bound throughout the testing as the measured GPU usage never exceeded 40%. On my main gaming rig you can see the game work quite flawlessly on Low settings but the performance does drop off towards Very High. Also note that the scenario is quite close to a worst-case scenario and smaller skirmishes run a lot better. Note that the average framerates are estimates and these numbers should be taken with maybe more than a grain of salt. Since there is no built-in benchmark, I simulated one by loading the Battle of Nagashino, one of the historical scenarios that ships with the game. The game was tested on Antergos with the Linux 4.10 kernel and Mesa 17.1. The laptop represents a fairly low-end gaming setup whereas the desktop represents a more mid-range option. Talking about the hardware, I tested the game on both my desktop (R7 1700 3.7GHz, 16 GB of DDRMHz and Asus Strix R7 370 4G) and my laptop (A10-9600p 2.4GHz, 8 GB of DDRMHz). So, I will be sticking to my AMD hardware for this port review.

Nvidia testing was also not done due to problems presented by the proprietary driver, I couldn’t even get Steam running when I installed the 381 driver for my GTX 760. Due to scheduling problems I wasn’t able to get a 32-bit version of GLXOSD built in time for this port review, so the numbers you will see are not exactly scientific. Sadly, the game lacks a built-in benchmark and due to the game shipping as a 32-bit binary I was unable to capture frame times with GLXOSD.
