Alien: Isolation
 |
One of the most terrifying games of recent years, Alien: Isolation is a must for fans of the series and on PC hardware it looks as good as it plays. To gauge performance, we benchmark a 45-second stint of the game at FHD, QHD and 4K UHD resolutions.
Remember how we said that Titan X is a scaled-up version of the GTX 980, to the tune of 50 per cent from an architecture point of view? The in-game increases aren't likely to be quite that large because the GTX 980 has a higher core frequency - 1,127MHz vs. 1,002MHz. Still, at 4K, we're seeing a 30 per cent-plus uplift.
Examining further, all cards are able to produce the majority of their frames within 25ms. The Titan X is the best of the bunch, clearly, and even the worst one per cent of frames start at just 18.6ms. This scary game becomes deliciously smooth at 4K.
