Benchmark: Batman: Arkham City

Review: HEXUS.net/qa7so | Where2buy: amazon.co.uk

Batman: Arkham City is a class above many games in the action-adventure genre, marrying gorgeous graphics and strong level design with potent storytelling and a kick-ass selection of gadgets and moves. It looks great in DX11, too.

From what we've seen on the previous pages, the pre-overclocked Radeon HD 7870s should be doing battle with a GeForce GTX 580. But that isn't the case in Batman: Arkham City, where performance is decidedly average and not noticeably better than a Radeon HD 7850.

We're putting this one down to a driver issue and it's one that AMD is investigating.
