Ok i have an MSI GTX 660 2GB OC edition.
According to this page
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/far-cry-3-performan...
I should not get more than 30 fps avg in ultra settings at 4x AA.

But I'm getting about 55 fps in ultra settings with 8x AA and 8x AF at 1920*1080 resolution.
So anyone knows, what I'm doing wrong. I mean it's good that my gpu performs good :D  but am I reading the benchmark wrong or what is it?

Newer drivers most likely.

Also, there are many different types of AA, some of which are more stressing than others, and some which affect your CPU not your GPU.

I'm playing with MSAA which is used in that benchmark. Also I'm playing at 8x.
And so much difference due to new drivers? I just want to know, how can we check the reliability of these benchmarks when we are in for a purchase of new hardware, say graphic card?
I, myself, use these "real world" benchmarks to know what I'll be getting for my money.
I'm just confused about this. Which graphic card do you have? n can u tell your fps in Far cry 3?
