3DMark 11
3DMark 11 is the latest offering from Futuremark, taking full advantage of DirectX 11 by utilising tessellation features and volumetric lighting. It takes your graphics and CPU hardware to the edge to simulate the most extreme conditions whilst working as a stand point to compare results with other users online.
Due to the way the APU is run, by overclocking both the CPU and GPU cores, the score increased quite dramatically based off the extra 600MHz overclock that we gained.
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Batman: Arkham Asylum is an action-adventure stealth game that uses the Unreal Engine 3. It relies heavily on nVidia’s PhsyX engine to give improved physics throughout if available. and uses lots of textures and polygons to build the character.
30 FPS is always a comfortable frame-rate and we peaked just above this with a slight increase when overclocked.
Great review! Now I know what to take if I want an HTPC 😀
