Introducing AMD’s “Turks” – HD 6670 and HD 6570

Batman: Arkham Asylum (Game of the Year Edition) Batman: Arkham Asylum is an action-adventure/stealth video game based on DC Comics’ Batman. Arkham Asylum is based directly on the long-running comic book’s Dark Knight character. The Joker devised an elaborate plot from inside Arkham Asylum that Batman is personally forced to put a stop to. The game’s primary characters are superbly voiced.

The game is played as an over-the-shoulder, third-person perspective action-adventure game with a primary focus on Batman’s combat abilities, stealth, detective skills and complete with an arsenal of gadgets that can be used in both combat and as exploring in “detective mode”.

Batman: Arkham Asylum uses a highly modified version of the Unreal Engine 3. It does not support AA natively but must be added in and supported by the game’s developer. Unfortunately we cannot compare Batman: Arkham Asylum using our GeForce exactly against the Radeon with PhysX on; so all of our testing is with it off. We are using the Game of the Year Edition of Batman: Arkham Asylum which supports in-game AA settings for both Radeon and GeForce cards.

We begin testing at 1920×1200 with details maxed and with 8xAA applied in the game’s setting control panel (8xQ for Nvidia).

All of our tested cards do well and both of the new Radeons beat the GTS 450.  1920×1200 can only be faster.

All of our cards can play Batman at 1920×1200 with 8xAA except for the GT 430. The HD 6670 trades blows with the GTS 450 depending on the settings while the HD 5770 is faster than the GTX 550 Ti.
