Benchmarks - 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.

Normalised performance at 19x12 GTX 680 HD 7970 @ 680 speeds HD 7970
100% 80.6% 75%

Normalised performance at 25x16 GTX 680 HD 7970 @ 680 speeds HD 7970
100% 82.5% 75%

Switch titles and the scores switch, too. GTX 680's architecture is far more suited to Batman: Arkham City than AMD's. This may not come as a huge surprise as NVIDIA's developer-relations team spent significant time with the publisher: it's a TWIMTBP title.
