Alien: Isolation

Homepage: alienisolation.com | Publisher: Sega | Developer: Creative Assembly

One of the most terrifying games of recent years, Alien: Isolation is a must for fans of the series and on PC hardware it looks as good as it plays. To gauge performance, we benchmark a 45-second stint of the game at FHD, QHD and 4K UHD resolutions.

GTX 970 pulls ahead at the lower resolutions while the R9 390's wider bus width enables it to catch and surpass the green team's card. The pragmatic advice is that both cards are more than good enough for gaming at 2,560x1,440.
