Gaming Benchmarks - 1080p and 1440p

Furmark, 3D Mark, Unigine Heaven and Valley

Trackmania Nations Forever, Sleeping Dogs, Just Cause 2, Star Swarm

R9 290X results must be considered carefully and we only provide this for reference. The 290X sample we used was faulty and the results are now out of date due to driver updates. Note that Mantle Is and will be slower than NVIDIA’s D3D11 implementation in this specific test.

Batman: Arkham City, Hitman: Absolution, Resident Evil 5 Benchmark

Resident Evil 5 serves as a platform limit test, where the complex Hitman and Batman titles become GPU limited due to their high texture and shader use. We want to compare the pair of TITAN X/980 Ti against 980 rather than individually.

Alien Vs Predator, Sniper Elite V2, Crysis 3, Metro 2033, Metro Last Light

Sniper Elite’s benchmark does have an amount of variability in its results, however for the increase in performance for both metro titles we verified this with additional runs and can only conclude it is due to driver optimizations included since the original TITAN X drivers and optimized GPU boost behavior on the 980 Ti card.

Our Crysis 3 benchmark is the now ‘standard’ Welcome to the Jungle gauntlet run through the ruins of a train station and there is an amount of variability in each play through of the mission.

Street Fighter IV, Total War: SHOGUN 2, World In Conflict, Civilisation: Beyond Earth.

We were unable to test Civilization using Mantle on 290X due to the AMD review sample dying without replacement. Again we advise the 290X scores may be dated due to driver optimizations. Although World in Conflict is also a title that can show variance over runs, we did seem to find a regression in performance here.
