BioShock Infinite

BioShock is fantastically playable and looks great on the PC. We benchmark a 60-second section near the start with all available eye-candy turned on.

Topping the charts is no problem for Gigabyte. Extra horsepower affords a few extra frames per second at 1080p but they're largely superfluous - even a 30-month-old GTX 680 produces decent framerates.

The differences in framerates are more apparent at a 4K resolution. The Gigabyte card is 13 per cent faster than a GTX 780 Ti and, probably more importantly, that much ahead of a well-overclocked GeForce GTX 970 from EVGA.
