AMD Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition & 7850 Video Card Review
By
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 game title Batman: Arkham City showed that the performance levels between the Radeon HD 7850 and 7870 GHz Edition were very similar. Both use the same tesselator and have the same memory bandwidth, so it appears that would be the bottleneck here and not the core clock speed or the number of cores. The AMD Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition and the Radeon hD 7850 were both performing on the same level as the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 Core limited edition graphics card that came out during the 2011 holiday season!
