Sapphire Dual-X R9 280 3GB OC Video Card Review
By
Batman: Arkham Origins
Batman: Arkham Origins was released in October 2013. It utilizes the Unreal Engine 3, and is an action-adventure game where the player takes on the role of Batman. While it is technically the third game in the series, it is actually a prequel to Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City.
Batman has a hidden benchmark tool that runs several pre-configured scenes against the video options. This is a great feature to be included and makes it an easy way to make a good comparison across multiple video cards. The resolution was set to 19201080, Anti-Aliasing was set to FXAA High and DirectX 11 Enhanced features were enabled as all the cards are DirectX 11 compatible.
Batman Arkham Origins Benchmark Results: In Batman’s integrated benchmark, the R9 280 was just slightly faster than the previous generation R7950. There is a larger difference in performance between the 280 and 290.
