Benchmark: Aliens vs. Predator
The standalone Aliens vs. Predator benchmark uses DX11 features such as hardware tessellation and advanced shadow sampling to draw and animate everyone's favourite xenomorph.
We were expecting to see the 3GB frame buffer prove its worth at 2,560x1600 with maximum image-quality settings in Aliens vs. Predator, but that isn't the case.
The stock-clocked 3GB HAWK card actually returns a fractionally lower score than a stock-clocked 1.5GB GTX 580 - a result of higher-density memory with looser timings, perhaps?
