1080p - Batman: Arkham Origins
 |
Batman: Arkham Origins features an expanded Gotham City and introduces an original prequel storyline occurring several years before the events of Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City.
These £150-£175 cards have little problem in meting out impressive framerates when set to the highest quality at 1080p. The game looks and plays, as you would expect, very well indeed. The overclocked R9 285 makes up for memory-bandwidth limitations by harnessing an improved architecture. It is reasonable to assume that a stock-clocked card would match the R9 280 and GeForce GTX 760 GPUs.

These cards have no problem spitting out decent framerates. We can also look at the percentage of total frames rendered within 17ms, equating to around a constant 60fps. The trio of cards manage near-perfect scores in this regard.
Switching gears and looking at another facet of performance, we can determine at what point the slowest one per cent of frames take place. These are the ones you want to avoid, ideally, so it's good to see that the R9 285's 99 percentile is a competent 23ms.
Taking the three benchmark results into account tells us one thing: these cards are great for Batman: Arkham Origins at a 1080p setting.
