Total War Saga: Troy is a 2020 turn-based strategy video game developed by Creative Assembly Sofia and published by Sega. The game was released for Windows on 13 August 2020 as the second installment in the Total War Saga subseries, succeeding Thrones of Britannia (2018). (Wikipedia).

Engine: TW 3 Engine. We test using the Ultra preset, with unlimited video memory enabled, DX11 API.

As for Total War Saga: Troy, AMD GPUs rarely do well in this game, and unfortunately for Team Red that is again the case here. At 1080p, the 6700 XT is averaging 94FPS, which isn't bad in itself, but it is 17% slower than the RTX 3070, and even 8% behind the RTX 3060 Ti, a card which is meant to be £50 cheaper.

Up at 1440p, things get even worse, as the gap between the 6700 XT and RTX 3070 has widened to 20%, while we're also looking at an 11% deficit compared to the RTX 3060 Ti.
