Can I Run Total War: Warhammer II?
CREATIVE ASSEMBLY released Total War: Warhammer II in 2017. It is an action strategy game, published by SEGA. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. Critics scored it 87 on Metacritic. It is localised into 13 languages according to the store listing. Completionists have 152 achievements to work through. Workshop content is supported, so the published requirements describe the unmodded game only. Alongside Windows it also ships for macOS and Linux. With more than 87 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. Being 9 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures.

Why Total War: Warhammer II is demanding
Total War: Warhammer II is undemanding on the graphics side. Its NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Total War: Warhammer II. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Total War: Warhammer II at the floor and Total War: Warhammer II at the recommended tier are not the same experience. Total War: Warhammer II needs 64 bit Windows. Video memory is not the constraint here, at 4 GB. Disk footprint is light, near 60 GB. At 8 GB, system memory is undemanding.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Total War: Warhammer II?
Older hardware holds up here: Total War: Warhammer II runs on modest graphics, with NVIDIA GTX 460 1GB | AMD Radeon HD 5770 1GB | Intel HD4000 @720p enough to meet the minimum. Add 5 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 3.27x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 1.84x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.82x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
