NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 - Looking For The Knockout

By James Lu - 3 May 2012

Batman: Arkham City & Dirt 3 Results

Batman: Arkham City Results

With Batman: Arkham City optimized for use with NVIDIA's PhysX, we expected the GTX 690 to blow every AMD card out of the water. It delivered with a big 30% lead over the Radeon HD 7970 CrossFire setup. Compared to the GTX 680 2-way SLI, we again saw it trailing by 6% on 1920 x 1200 resolution and 2% at 2560 x 1600.

 

Dirt 3

Dirt 3 is one of the more forgiving DX11 enabled games around, and all of our top competitors took the opportunity to shine, posting impressive results within 1% of each other. At the extreme resolution of 2560 x 1600, the GTX 690 managed to snag a rare win, just slightly outperforming the GTX 680 2-way SLI by 0.5%.
