Aliens vs Predator - DX11

Alien vs Predator

DX11 Gaming Performance

AvP

Alien vs Predator is a DX11 title from British developer Rebellion, the same team behind the 1999 original PC game. It brings the war between two of science fiction's most popular characters to the first person shooter gaming world. AvP delivers three single player campaigns and provides unique 3-way multiplayer gaming as well. For our testing, we used the AvP stand alone benchmark using a resolution of 2560 x 1600 and maximum image quality settings.

With the settings cranked up, it's a close race for the top spot in this benchmark. The GTX 580 FTW HC2 edges out the other 580's we looked at, but can't catch the overclocked HD 5970 Black Edition. But unlike 3DMark11 where the difference was substantial, the HC2 trailed by only 1 to 3 frames per second (3% to 5% depending on resolution).
