This is a look at the AC system power consumption over the course of all the benchmarks run. The results are not out of line with expectations. The AMD Polaris and Vega performance-per-Watt ends up equating roughly in line with the GeForce GTX 900 series.

On a performance-per-dollar basis is where the Radeon cards are more competitive against NVIDIA. As is usually the case with other Linux games, the Radeon RX 580 at this point is the front-runner. It will be interesting to see where the Radeon RX 590 fits in once its Linux driver support is squared away.

That's the current look at the Total War: Warhammer II Linux performance after more extensive tests as well as with the updated test profile and factoring in the performance per dollar metrics. This game is running really quite well on Linux with being powered by Vulkan. Thanks to Feral Interactive for their continued support and providing a review key for benchmarking as well as those working on this game's test profile.
