Far Cry 2

Far Cry 2 (DirectX 10)



Far Cry 2 is the spiritual sequel to one of the best selling and longest living games on the PC though this title was developed not by Crytek, but by Ubisoft directly using a completely new engine as well.  The game is set in Africa and you have malaria – what else do you need to know?

Far Cry 2 includes a great benchmarking utility that allows us to setup for in-game testing of all varieties and includes both the ability to benchmark based on time (variable frame count) or based on speed (fixed frame count) – we went with the time-based option to simulate real-world gaming and allowing for apples-to-apples comparisons.

Though the Radeon HD 4870 X2 is still the best card in our tests, when we look at the new GTX 285 line it continues to impress as being the top single-GPU performer we have seen to date.  At 2560×1600 we see an 11% increase in performance over the exiting GTX 280 card and a nearly 19% performance boost over the GTX 260+ from Galaxy.
