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.
Again we see that the Radeon Hd 4890 1GB card is easily getting 10-15% higher average frame rates than the HD 4870 1GB card – a very noticeable gain. NVIDIA’s gains with the GTX 275 are nearly as impresive – and it holds the performance crown over the HD 4890 on Far Cry 2 if only for the much higher minimum frame rates.
