You can buy Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia at Steam for ₱1,269.95 or, if you want to give more support to Feral Interactive and Linux gaming, at The Feral Store for $39.99. I hope that Feral Interactive would someday enable Vulkan support for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and HITMAN. This is another proof that Linux is a viable gaming platform. About a year has passed since they first used Vulkan on Mad Max and it seems that all upcoming games from Feral Interactive would only use Vulkan. The game runs very well on mainstream hardware and Feral Interactive seems to be getting really good with using Vulkan for developing Linux games. Overall, I’m satisfied with the performance of Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia. Rise of the Tomb Raider – Vulkan Performance Reviewį1 2017 – Vulkan Performance Review Closing Thoughts The CPU usage on my Core i7 7700 is about 20 – 40% only and disabling Hyper Threading does not have any significant performance penalty. This is another milestone for Linux gaming.įor the CPU, Feral Interactive seems to be just right with Core i7 3770K as a recommended CPU. I’m also happy to report that Radeon RX 580 8GB runs this game without any graphical glitches on the Mesa 18.0.1 driver. The game officially supports only Ubuntu 18.04 LTS but I did not encounter any game crash or serious problem on my gaming PC running on Ubuntu MATE 17.10. A Radeon RX Vega 64 8GB or a GeForce GTX 1080 8GB is probably needed if you want to push the frame rate to 100 FPS or higher when using the tweaked High preset. Radeon RX 580 8GB performs well in this game at 2560 x 1080 resolution using High preset. The sweet spot between performance and image quality is tweaking the High preset by manually enabling 16x Anisotropic Filtering and SSAO (Screen Space Ambient Occlusion). Ultra preset looks better but the performance hit is very large. I didn’t test Medium preset because the game already looks kind of bland when using High preset. There are also individual graphics settings which you can tweak if you want to maximize performance. The game features 5 image quality presets – Low, Medium, High, Ultra, and Extreme. Take note that video recording using OBS has a performance penalty and the frame rates you see in the frame rate counter will be about 25% higher when there is no video recording. Shown below is the built-in benchmark running on Radeon RX 580 8GB paired with Core i7 7700 3.6 GHz (No Turbo).
