BioShock Infinite

BioShock is fantastically playable and looks great on the PC. We benchmark a 60-second section near the start with all available eye-candy turned on.

BioShock Infinite is set to maximum in-game quality. Modern graphics cards have no problem in meting out lusty framerates at a 1080p resolution. The Strix continues to benchmark alongside a GTX 780 Ti and GTX Titan - two GPUs that remain considerably more expensive.

1080p is child's play, so how about quadrupling the load and trying 4K for size? Here the sheer number of pixels begin to take their toll. The conservative frequencies of the Strix stops it from reaching the heights of the EVGA, but the game feels relatively smooth nonetheless. AMD's premier single-GPU cards are left in the shade.
