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 PowerColor PCS HD7870 MYST video card might have a slightly slower core clock speed, but the more powerful Tahiti LE core makes all the difference in the world. The PowerColor PCS HD7870 MYST is nearly 12% faster than the AMD Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition video card that we compared it to!
