Batman: Arkham City Game Settings

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: Batman: Arkham City doesn't show us a performance difference at 1280x1024 when comparing the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680's in SLI, both were able to average 175 frames per second. Bumping the resolution to 1920x1080 there is a 1 frame per second difference, and at 2560x1600 we can see a 2 frame per second difference. Looking at the performance of all the singe cards, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 was significantly faster which isn't unexpected.
