Batman: Arkham City is a sequel to 2009’s Game of the Year winning Batman: Arkham Asylum. This recently released sequel, however, lives up to and even surpasses the original in many ways. The story takes place 18 months after the original game. Quincy Sharp, the onetime administrator of Arkham Asylum, has become mayor and convinced Gotham to create "Arkham City" by walling off the worst, most crime-ridden areas of the city and turning the area into a giant open-air prison. The game has DirectX 9 and 11 rendering paths, with support for tessellation, multi-view soft shadows, and ambient occlusion. We tested in DX11 mode with all in-game graphical options set to their maximum values, at various resolutions. |
The additional memory bandwidth afforded by the ZOTAC GeForce GTX 680 AMP! Edition's higher-clocked memory give it an edge in the Batman: Arkham City benchmark as well. In this game, the ZOTAC GTX 680 card once again leads the pack with the highest average framerates of the bunch.
