1080p - BioShock Infinite
 |
BioShock is fantastically playable and looks great on the PC. We benchmark a 30-second section near the start.
The R9 285 does better than expected in BioShock Infinite, improving the R9 280's performance by a significant 21 per cent. One reason why it's so much quicker, even though it shouldn't be if we go via specification alone, is the effectiveness of the improved geometry/tessellation in the Tonga GPU. BioShock relies on just that for speedy frames.

Sapphire's card very rarely dips below an equivalent 60fps during our benchmark run, and the worst one per cent of frames starts at an impressive 15.4ms. What you're seeing here is 1080p60 performance with image quality dialled to maximum - something that the newest games consoles cannot match.
