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.

There was a time when Batman: Arkham City performance was shocking on most Radeon GPUs. But those days are long gone and recent driver updates have put the Radeons back where they belong; the overclocked HD 7870 Vortex II is again almost on par with a GeForce GTX 670 and it isn't a million miles off the HD 7950, either.
