Battlefield 3

Still one of the best looking games around, Battlefield 3’s beauty comes at a high performance cost. It’s been quite a while since Battlefield 3 was launched, yet it is used by many benchmarks, including ourselves. BF3 renders a bizarre number of complex polygons, all at once, and is also a good CPU benchmark.

The BF3 test benchmark tells a different story overall. BF3 has a reputation for that. The GTX 670 performs roughly an extra 11% better than the GTX 660 Ti, owing to its extra bandwidth from an extra ROP. The Radeon HD 7950 struggles to keep up with the GeForce cards. nVidia’s chipsets are definitely more optimized to run BF3. The good thing is that even with anti-aliasing set to 4, the games are playable. MSI’s variant is the fastest amongst all the 660 Ti-s, though Gigabyte is close.
