Low Vs Ultra GeForce GTX 970 4GB Performance Review

Booting up Total War: Warhammer 2 with the 7 year old GeForce GTX 970 4GB looks like it will return a reliable 75 FPS. And those results are assuming a 1920x1080 screen resolution at High setting level.

When looking at the recommended requirements for Total War: Warhammer 2 we can see that this GeForce GTX 970 4GB is far better served running it on Ultra even at 4K, where it would achieve 46FPS. But it could cost around $7.17 per FPS at 4K. Compare this to Ultra 1440p, which is a more reasonable $4.34 per FPS.

In summary, the GeForce GTX 970 4GB is getting up into the performance required for stable big screen gaming. We are talking about 1440p and even 4K. While we are not guaranteed the best frame rates at 4K unless you lower graphics settings a bit to Medium (79FPS) or possibly High (34FPS). But we are really looking at best gameplay at the 1440p mark. 1440p High graphics setting will get you 57 FPS, and even Ultra can get up to 76 FPS on 1440p.
