Aliens vs. Predator

Aliens vs Predator D3D11 Benchmark v1.03

Aliens vs Predator D3D11 Benchmark v1.03 is a standalone benchmark test based upon Rebellion's 2010 inter-species shooter Aliens vs. Predator. The test shows xenomorph-tastic scenes using heavy tessellation among other DX11 features.

We cranked up all the image quality settings in the benchmark to the highest level possible, so we were running 4x AA and 16x AF with SSAO enabled at both 1920x1200 and 1280x1024 on all the video cards.

Benchmark Results: The top spot in Aliens vs Predator easily goes the the ASUS ARES. The ASUS ARES was able to best the ATI Radeon HD 5970 by 15.7% across the board! We also see an impressive boost of 77.5% over the ATI Radeon HD 5870 at low resolutions and nearly 80% at 1900x1200!
