Our Settings for Far Cry 3
Once again we find these frame rates to be on the low side because of our higher image quality settings (we are using the same settings as we did for our other Frame Rating stories) but there are no differences between the FRAPS and Frame Rating results. The GTX 650 Ti BOOST and the Radeon HD 7850 run even with each other again followed by the HD 7790 which is followed by the original GTX 650 Ti.
No big issues with frame times on Far Cry 3 though we do see a couple of spikes on the two AMD cards (HD 7790 and HD 7850) that don't really appear on the GTX cards.
The GTX 650 Ti BOOST runs just ahead of the HD 7850 with the GTX 650 Ti coming in last place again. The HD 7790 splits the difference.
Not only is the GTX 650 Ti BOOST faster in average frame rates, it also exhibits the least frame time variance of all four cards tested.

It would be nice to see how a pair of gtx 580’s fares, as I have these in my setup. Pretty please! *_*

I can’t stress enough how amazing this is.
I have one or two questions though:
1. Is the ATI/AMD Dual-GPU cards like the HD7990 have the same “problems” has dual cards in SLi?
I have an HD5970 and I do recognize there are problems as far as stutter is concerned but, I notice, I have a clear visual “feeling” that something is not right in a very few games. Mostly those “heavy” titles like “Metro2033” and the new “Crysis 3”.
2. Is the problem something related to the hardware itself, is it drivers or is it a mix of both?
Sorry, I meant “problems has
Sorry, I meant “problems has dual cards in Crossfire?”
