Bioshock Infinite
“BioShock Infinite is a first-person shooter like you’ve never seen. Just ask the judges from E3 2011, where the Irrational Games title won over 85 editorial awards, including the Game Critics Awards’ Best of Show. Set in 1912, players assume the role of former Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt, sent to the flying city of Columbia on a rescue mission. His target? Elizabeth, imprisoned since childhood. During their daring escape, Booker and Elizabeth form a powerful bond — one that lets Booker augment his own abilities with her world-altering control over the environment. Together, they fight from high-speed Sky-Lines, in the streets and houses of Columbia, on giant zeppelins, and in the clouds, all while learning to harness an expanding arsenal of weapons and abilities, and immersing players in a story that is not only steeped in profound thrills and surprises, but also invests its characters with what Game Informer called “An amazing experience from beginning to end.” From Bioshockinfinite.com
Bioshock evened the playing field quite a lot, all of the cards performed within 5FPS of each other.
Thanks for the review.
Why arkham Knight? not to mention no setting shown for it too. Perhaps you guys should benchmark The Witcher 3 instead of arkham knight. I sure hope amd will release a much better driver for fury x. Sad to see a new architecture(hbm) falling behind an old architechture(GDDR5). So much promise yet so much disappointment.
Arkham Knight has been withdrawn by Warner Brothers as the programming is seriously flawed. It is unplayable on DX11. WB will be releasing AK with a DX12 port and patch.
Why AMD why………..
So basically if you are gaming at 1440p or 4K this is worth serious consideration I am a little surprised at the price point, I did expect it to be a little cheaper being an AMD card but things do look promising for team red.
Unfortunately for me all of my gaming is done at 1080p so I personally would buy the 980Ti. Still I am interested in seeing where AMD take HBM.
When will you run the 3dMark API Overhead Feature Test?
@ Rikki Wright
When you last wrote about DX12 benchmarks you pointed out that Radeon 290x was 33% faster than GeForce 980Ti and as fast as Titan X.
So Fury should be 20% faster than Titan X and 50% faster than 980 Ti.
Right? You know, you ran the benchmarks already yet you aren’t telling us.

Your own site knows that nVidia GPU’s are drastically slower than AMD using DX12 yet you lie to your readers by omitting these very important facts.
Don’t consumers have a right to make educated buying choices?
With DX12 Fury x is 50% faster than GTX 980 Ti and crushes Titan X.
nVidia does not have Asynchronous Shader Pipelines nor do they have Asynchronous Compute Engine IP.
nVidia is great with an obsolete API. But it is absolute trash with Mantle or DX12.
