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.

On the previous page, we saw the HD 6970 and GTX 570 switch places as the second fastest card behind the GTX 580. While it's obvious the 580 leads the pack, the only question our testing really answers is which DirectCU card takes the runner up spot. In Alien vs Predator, the HD 6970 was faster in all three resolutions and led the GTX 570 by 2 to 4 frames per second.
