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.

We see similar results in Batman: Arkham City, where NVIDIA's decision to cut the memory bus to 192-bits while dropping the ROP count from 32 to 24 has a sizeable impact on performance.

Gigabyte's GTX 660 Ti OC is over 15 per cent slower than a similarly-priced GTX 670 at 1080p. Pricing aside, 660 Ti performance is strong - it's designed to deliver great 1080p performance, and 62 frames per second is just right. Interesting to note, also, that it's faster than the last-generation champion; GeForce GTX 580.
