MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III 1G/OC 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 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 on 12/7/2011 that was supposed to fix many of the DX11 issues. We didn’t use that patch for these results, but even with the stuttering issues we were able to see the performance scaling that we expected. The one thing we didn’t expect was the MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III 1G/OC to do so well on this NVIDIA game title. It will be interesting to see what happens after we update these results with the new game patch.
