Asus GTX590 and HD6990 review

Set in the mythical world of Thedas, Dragon Age II tells the story of Hawke, who fled the nation of Ferelden during the events of Dragon Age: Origins and arrived in the neighboring state of Kirkwall as a refugee. Within the span of a decade, Hawke would rise in power and influence to become the legendary “Champion of Kirkwall”, and the center of events that change the course of Thedas forever. The game focuses on Hawke's rise to power and is framed through flashbacks by one of Hawke's old companions, Varric, who relates the Champion's ‘true story' to Cassandra Pentaghast, a Seeker of Thedas' religious Chantry.

We are testing at 5760×1080 resolution with 8x anti aliasing and maximum in game settings.

The GTX590 is really struggling with this new role playing game. While the HD6990 can deliver an average of 35 fps and over, the GTX590 struggles to maintain double digits. Clearly some driver work for nvidia with this game over the coming months.
