NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti – Titanium is Back

For fans of the original Mafia game, having to wait an incredible eight years for a sequel must’ve been tough. But as we found out in our review, the wait might be forgotten as the game is quite good. It doesn’t feature near as much depth as say, Grand Theft Auto IV, but it does a masterful job of bringing you back to the 1940’s and letting you experience the Mafia lifestyle.

Manual Run-through: Because this game doesn’t allow us to save a game in the middle of a level, we chose to use chapter 7, “In Loving Memory…”, to do our runthrough. That chapter begins us on a street corner with many people around, and from there, we run to our garage, get in our car, and speed out to the street. Our path ultimately leads us to the park, and takes close to two minutes to accomplish.

The previous couple of games seem to run better on AMD cards on average better than NVIDIA, but Mafia II is one of those that should run better on the green team (err, as in, NVIDIA). Here, that’s not so much the case. Though both the GTX 560 Ti and HD 6950 1GB should be about equal in performance, AMD’s card edges ahead here.
