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.
The BFG GeForce GTX 295 card has another good showing with our Far Cry 2 testing as it is able to beat out the HD 4870 X2 card once again. Quad SLI results are decent, but not great with an 18% jump in average frame rate at 2560×1600 resolutions.
Even tho this is a pretty old
Even tho this is a pretty old VGA, it’s still a awesome graphics card.
I got 2 of these on SLI that I plan to replace soon, but together they can handle most recent games in high details and resolution.
For my new machine, there will be 3 SLI VGA’s (don’t know which) running on a 6-core, which I expect to bring me an additional 20 to 40% performance.
Still, great video card.
I don’t ever regret buying it!
