After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.

Aliens vs Predator
In space no one can hear you scream, but if you are a human in AVP that will be the only thing you will be doing. The game is based off of the movies and comic books series that has been done before, but this is the much bigger and better reboot of the game series. AVP is a full DX11 game with some serious Tessellation at work to test any modern GPU.
Setting used for testing is as follows.
Texture Quality: Very High
Shadow Quality: High
Anisotropic Filtering: 16x
SSAO: ON
Vertical Sync: OFF
DX11 Tessellation: ON
DX11 Advanced Shadows: ON
DX11 MSAA Samples: 4x
Texture Quality: Very High
Shadow Quality: High
Anisotropic Filtering: 16x
SSAO: ON
Vertical Sync: OFF
DX11 Tessellation: ON
DX11 Advanced Shadows: ON
DX11 MSAA Samples: 4x
We tested the GTX560Ti with this DirectX 11 title, and it does a good job playing the game at lower resolutions, but when we turned up the resolution, and introduced 4x AA, the card began to bog down considerably. However, if you look at the other cards in the lineup you will see similar results.
