Palit GeForce GTX 460 1GB Sonic Platinum Review – Rivaling the GTX 470

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.  


In Far Cry 2 we again see the power of a highly overclocked GF104 core and that it easily rivals a much lower clocked, but higher CUDA core count, GF100 core.
