Far Cry 1.1 – 0xAA and 0xAF
Far Cry (DirectX)
Starting this review, we are using manual run throughs of Far Cry as well on the Regulator level using God Mode enabled with the DEVMODE cheat to get repeatable results.
We set the in game quality settings as high as they would go, as you can see in the shot below.
Once again we quickly see the down falls to the ATI X600 line of graphics card — they just can’t compete with what NVIDIA is offering on the 6600GT. The average frame rate of the 6600GT is more than 200% higher than the X600XT and the minimum FPS of 7 for ATI makes playing Far Cry at 1024×768 hit or miss.
NVIDIA is still dominating here. Keep note of how well the 6600GT does against the $100 more expensive 6800NU model from here on out.
It is debatable whether this was playable at this level, but I would have to go with a ‘no’ on that one for even the 6800NU card.
