GeForce GTX 580 Showdown: ASUS Matrix vs.EVGA Classified
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 bencmark 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: This game has some serious issues in DirectX 11 mode and a patch came out on the morning of 12/7/2011 that was supposed to fix many of the DX11 issues. We used this patch for benchmarking and found that the EVGA GeForce GTX 580 Classified 3072MB video card was faster than the ASUS MATRIX GTX580 Platinum. We expected the larger frame buffer to make a difference at 1920×1080, but we aren’t seeing that yet
