Far Cry 2
Last response: in Video Games
I was wondering if my build is underperforming in far cry 2...or maybe I'm just playing on the wrong settings
E8400 not OC
EVGA 780I MB
4 Gig of DDR2 800 Corsair XMS2 memory
GTX 260 BFG OC 216 cores
1 TB HD
20 inch LCD
FC2benchmark
Run 1
Settings: Demo(Ranch Small), 1600x1200 (60Hz), D3D9, Fixed Time Step(No), Disable Artificial Intelligence(No), Full Screen, Anti-Aliasing(8x), VSync(Yes), Overall Quality(Ultra High), Vegetation(Very High), Shading(Ultra High), Terrain(Ultra High), Geometry(Ultra High), Post FX(High), Texture(Ultra High), Shadow(Ultra High), Ambient(High), Hdr(Yes), Bloom(Yes), Fire(Very High), Physics(Very High), RealTrees(Very High)
* Average Framerate: 25.92
* Max. Framerate: 35.92
* Min. Framerate: 20.63
Run 2
* Average Framerate: 26.01
* Max. Framerate: 36.05
* Min. Framerate: 20.86
Is this bad? I'm running wrong settings?

Well, I reckon your machine is not underperforming tbh.
FC2 is pretty CPU-heavy, I got a 10-15% increase in FPS on my E8400 going from 3 to 3.6 (just up your fsb to 400 and set your memory to 1:1 and instant 3.6. You might not need to adjust any voltages to get that).
Also the game runs better in DX10, again a 10% increase (I have benched FC2 in some detail due to my recent upgrade).
Also, you are running at 1600*1200, which is larger than my 1440*900, so I would expect you have slightly lower fps.
All in all your results sound about right, and I recommend at least a basic overclock to help you out, as well as running in DX10 if you can.
