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.

Batman: Arkham City Benchmark Results

Benchmark Results: The EVGA GeForce GTX 660 SC 2GB graphics card had a slight edge over the MSI GeForce GTX 660 OC at 1280x1024. Granted it's only 1 frame per second but it's measurable. Once we increase the resolution to 1920x1080 both the EVGA GeForce GTX 660 SC and the MSI GeForce GTX 660 OC were a match for the EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti and all three averaged 61 frames per second in Batman: Arkham City.
