damn all this video card talk made me go overclock my gpu.

Can't tell if Arkham origins is just well optimized or just has shyttier graphics than it's successors. I can run everything at max at pretty much 60fps. Couldn't do that shyt in Arkham City (but I guess that was more open world). Plus, I think Arkham City just looked better. Anybody agree, or am I just not far enough in the game to see good graphics?

Arkham City was just terribly optimized in general..most people had issues with that game..

back when i bought that 670 (not 660) it was the second best graphics card on the market and Nvidia and AMD were swearing up and down no new cards this year so there was no R9 or 700 series above it. card had been on the market about 6ish months. a few months after i bought it i get Tomb Raider and shyt is dipping all over the place with the frame rate.

how does that compare to me going out in 2014 and buying a 660 vanilla? really i wanna know.

Tomb Raider on release was pretty much a mess performance wise. I have to ask which AA option you were using though. SSAA is pretty much a no go with most single card solutions @ 1080p and above. If set to 2x it would be rendering your game at 2688x1512 and then downscaling. If 4x, then it would have been rendering at 3840x2160, aka 4K.

i think it was TXAA but i can't remember now and i reformatted my PC since then so the settings weren't saved.
