Batman: Arkham City
Batman: Arkham City is a 2011 action-adventure video game developed by Rocksteady Studios. It is the sequel to the 2009 video game Batman: Arkham Asylum, based on the DC Comics superhero Batman. The game was released by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows. The PC and Onlive version was released on November 22, 2011.
Batman: Arkham City uses the Unreal Engine 3 game engine with PhysX. For benchmark testing of Batman: Arkham City we disabled PhysX to keep it fair and ran the game in DirectX 11 mode with 8x MSAA enabled and all the image quality features cranked up. You can see all of the exact settings in the screen captures above.
Benchmark Results: The MSI Big Bang XPower II was able to reclaim the top spot in Batman: Arkham City, at least at 1280x1024. The Big Bang XPower II averaged 64.3 frames per second at 1280x1024 which is only .3 frames per second above the previous best of 64 fps by the ECS X79R-AX. The performance of the Big Bang XPower II was right in the middle of the pack with an average of 43 frames per second.
