Alien: Isolation

Homepage: alienisolation.com | Publisher: Sega | Developer: Creative Assembly

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.

You're going to see a familiar theme of the Nano card positioned behind the Fury Tri-X. What's of more importance, if truly small-form-factor gaming is your thing, is the performance uplift over a GeForce GTX 970 OC mITX card. We see a 30 per cent-plus gain at the highest resolution, or enough to change the game from playable to smooth.
