I haven't played much, and probably won't due to the new game coming out soon, but who doesn't like fantastic creatures battling each other?ĭespite the long turn loads, I was able to enjoy amazing battles in the Mortal Empires campaign. I finally could enjoy some cool fantasy battles. Otherwise, here is a good comparison I made about the loading times: I've left my old "review" at the bottom of the article, if anyone's interested to see how disappointed I was.

The loading screens aren't hindering the experience, although, expectedly, they still take their time, especially the turn load on the Mortal Empires campaign, which has all the factions and map size from both of the Warhammer games (if you already own the first game, it's a free thingy) Indeed, now that it is installed on an SSD, it is playable. As i said, when you approach 1.5V VCore and go more towards 23x, 24x multi (if you can take the hit on calculating efficiency), then you'll be looking at perhaps another ~100W on top of what you got.I've acquired an SSD and due to the hype for the new Total War Three Kingdoms, I decided to revisit this game and see if I've changed my mind. I usually recommend these PSUs because i can vouch for them:īe quiet! Pure Power 11 (CM/FM) or Seasonic Core GM (best-in-class mid-range)īe quiet! Straight Power 11 (Platinum) or Seasonic Focus GX/PX (best-in-class upper mid-range)īe quiet! Dark Power 11/12 or Seasonic TX- models (best-in-class high-end)įor your system, i would say, 700-750W is enough if the PSU is a good one, but even 800-850W won't be overkill yet, especially if you want to overclock. How to find a good one:ġ) Look for an 80 PLUS Gold specification (or better)Ģ) Look for a long warranty period (ideally 5 years or more), implying the manufacturer's confidence the productģ) Check the PSU tier list, which gives an indication of many PSU models' quality, ideal is Tier A or B Certainly not suitable for prolonged full load.Ī better PSU is definitely in order. Unless your 450W PSU is absolute top-of-the-line, it will not manage this kind of load for long, the voltages/ripple might go out of spec. This will all be done via the 12V rail of the PSU. Then your graphics card is good for another 170, 180W. Then a few dozen Watts for mainboard, drives, fans etc. Your CPU alone, at stock, can draw close to 200W under full load. Yeah, your PSU is not nearly enough for that hardware.
