Total War: NAPOLEON – Definitive Edition

Can NVIDIA RTX 5080 run Total War: NAPOLEON – Definitive Edition? This report projects 1080p Medium FPS from the GPU score, then compares NVIDIA RTX 5080 with the publisher minimum (256 MB DirectX® 9.0c shader model 2b compatible GPU) and recommended (256 MB DirectX® 9.0c shader model 3 compatible GPU) graphics.

At 1080p Medium we estimate about 93 FPS average and 60 FPS 1% lows. NVIDIA RTX 5080 sits above the publisher recommended GPU (256 MB DirectX® 9.0c shader model 3 compatible GPU). This is a GPU-led projection with a typical mid-range CPU and 16 GB of RAM, not a live capture from your PC.
