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.
Ah, the GeForce GTX 660 Ti's hobbled back-end is exposed by our first real-world game, Aliens vs. Predator. Better-than-GTX 670 frequencies - it's still running at 1,189MHz in-game - don't count for much in this title; the KFA² card is 20 per cent slower than the GPU next in NVIDIA's Kepler GK104 hierarchy. This title is far more dependent on memory bandwidth and pixel-munching prowess. What's more, the heavily-overclocked GTX 660 Ti falls behind a stock-clocked HD 7870, readily available for a smidge over £200.
