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: Batman Arkham City is usually one of our favorite benchmarks to use, but we were scratching our heads when both the GTX680 and GTX670 scored exactly the same! That doesn't matter though because the ASUS HD 7970 Matrix was in the lead by a fair bit as you can see above.  It also scored 3FPS higher than the Sapphire HD 7970 Vapor-X edition, which goes to show this card is the real McCoy.
