Total War Attila Sega PR Extreme Bullshit those lovely PR folks at Sega are spinning hard today due to graphic settings included in Total War Attila that apparently can only be used on GPU’s that don’t exist yet.
Yes they actually decided that was a good excuse rather than “we haven’t optimized the game and just rushed it out the door just like the last 4 years”
Really it’s time Sega owned up and stopped lying to gamers just to sell their game. Be honest you might just sell more!

There are 5 quality presents you can select in Total War: ATTILA (you can always go into ‘Advanced’ and tweak yourself of course).
‘Max Performance’ – integrated chipsets and older cards
‘Performance’ – low end cards
‘Quality’– mid range cards
‘Max Quality’ – high end cards
‘Extreme Quality’ – future cards – no card is set to this out of the box
The official “Recommended Spec” is pegged to the ‘Quality’ setting at 1080p ‘out of the box’.
‘Extreme Quality’ also activates 4XMSAA, which will have a particularly big performance impact. Please note, that the ‘Extreme Quality’ setting is meant for future graphics cards, not for current gen. This is why it’s above Maximum Quality.
