Batman: Arkham City is the sequel to the smash hit, Batman: Arkham Asylum. The game was created with the Unreal 3 Engine, and includes areas with extreme tessellation, high res textures and dynamic lighting. Batman, also includes native support for PhysX and is also optimized for Nvidia 3DVision technology.
The HD 7870 performed at the same level as the GTX 570 and HD 6970, while being around 13% slower than the GTX 580. This could be due to driver support, or the game simply being optimized for NVIDIA hardware in the first place, but the results were just not as good as what we saw in Aliens vs Predator. The HD 7850 had results similar to the HD 7870, but it managed to do slightly better against its closet rivals.
In total the HD 7850 was head-to-head with the HD 6950, 13% faster than the HD 6870 and 18% faster than the GTX 560 Ti.

I have noticed though that 7950s are getting cheaper in the UK, This one is £313, which was the same price my brother paid two month ago for a 6970.
Not quite sure on the reliability of the benchmarks, but the HD7770 has a lower score than the 6700.
new gen should succeed it by a healthy margin.
I gotta admit I wasn't expecting the 7870 to be that powerful. I know typically the new mid-range card replaces the previous high end card, but normally it's a like for like swap. I was surprised when most tests put the 7870 between 14 and 20% faster than the 6970. That was a pleasant surprise.. I may have to do a little saving and get one of these though I am still cautious of what Nvidia are planning. I really don't wanna jump in and get a new HD 7series card only for Nvidia to release new cards that on all levels just destroy it. I guess as hard as it will be to wait I'll have to be patient..
