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.
Far Cry 2 continues to be a hog on computing resources and the SLI scaling we are seeing here at all resolutions is indicative of that. Even at 1680×1050 the GTX 470s see a 50% increase in performance over the single card configuration and that jumps to has high as 87% at 2560×1600!
