Can an HD 5970 max Far Cry 2?

Can a Core i7 + an HD 5970 (my rig) max Far Cry 2 and still get a playable framerate? FC2 runs much smoother than Crysis on it's highest settings.

IMHO, it looks better than Crysis. But my monitor only goes up to 720p resolutions.

The HD 5970 should be able to max out any game other than Crysis, Crysis Warhead, and Metro 2033. I would probably need a second HD 5970 in CrossfireX, and then superclock and watercool them (Four GPU's) if I wanted to max those games.

Maxing FC2, Fallout 3, BFBC2, should be fairly easy.

My monitor only goes up to 1680x1050 resolution.

CARE ABOUT your money ...no need to get that high VGA card ... tru 5850 & 5870 ..they are GOD of Gaming VGA cards ... no game will LAG ON IT ..be sure !!!

Oh no ... Left 4 Dead needs to much less than farcry 2 or Crysis .. i am runing FARCRY 2 in highest settings with no LAGs on my 9600 GT 1Gb so imagine how powerfull 5850 is ..go & see benchmarks for your self ..you wont find GA card as good as 5850 !!

All are highest ...AA is 8 & rez is 1440 .. & rest of setings are on ULTRA high ..with no LAGS ... see !! if my 9600 can handle it .... 5850 surly does ...if you pay more & get higher VGA card you will see no Diffrence but you already got you money spent on thing that is not VALUABLE !! not only farcry ... allgames will run smoothly with this setings on 5850 !!! & dont get CORE i 7 its powerfull but its not real QUAD CORE & ...Try to GET Q9400 or higher ...its real QUAD CORE & its very powerfull CPU that matches with almost all mobos ...but by geting CORe i7 you need to pay for mobo too

I didnt finished it just reached to MAP 2 ... butaway i am not lying GAME runs realy fast & with ultra high setings & aa8 i have no reason to lie to anyone .... i have 4GB ram too... BUT its because of 9600 that runs fast ... i am enjoying of playing it but havnt killed JACKAL yet ...

I CANT say with frame rate ... but played even on 8x & i had no laging problem ..... 5850 surly wont have smallest problem

Well for one, a 1440 resolution is not all that great. I was rocking out a 1440x900 monitor not too long ago and it seems like I would always get the same performance as 1600 resolution benchmarks (seeing that they usually have a massive OC on their CPU).

Still, I was running a 4870 with that setup and I wouldn't say FC2 was running stellar and that card leaves a 9600 in the dust.


Well anyway, to put it to rest, look at this benchmark, it stacks all of the cards in question and you can assume the 5870 xfire is equal to the 5970.

in higher Rez VGA cards get fainter ..you should know that even highest systems sometimes cant handle some part of games because of too high rez ..1440 is not low rez ..its realy suitable ... My recomandation to you is to get high PSU first likeCorsair 650TX & then GET 5850 & very great CPU like Q9400 Quad Core ...if your rams are ddr 2 800MHZ so you dont need to change them .. this SYSTem called GAME SYSTEm { HIGHE - END } all games will run smoothly ...if you update your DRIVERS & keep your PC clean & Healthy !!! if you realy have to much money & you dont care about paying a lot for a PC so go for 5970 & i7 but you will see no diffrence both can run GAMES just GREAT !!

Asking for help with pirated software again will buy you a ban, you have been warned!

Dude... The first problem is most 9600GT cards were released before FC2 even came out so there are are almost nill for benchies since everyone reviews the cards upon release and then forgets about them. Second...tell me one site that takes money to make cards look as if they perform better.

Leave it up to Toms though....Their GPU charts have the 9600GT 1GB pulling 30.2 FPS at 1680x1050, 4AA, 8AF, Very High Quality. I am not sure of their CPU settings and I don't care because even a miracle OC will not get you to a standard 60FPS with that card.

I will believe benchmarks before I believe you BUT...I will give you some credit and say I believe you that you are getting a lag free performance. I would believe that is is possible that 1GB of vram and vsync being enabled on the 1440 resolution will get you a smooth 30FPS.

i have yet to have any issues running anything at max settings with my setup.
1055t @ 3.66 w/ 5970

Oh it sure can , Because i have 9600GT 1GB & i can MAXOUT farcry & play it with no lag , MAXOUT mean every option set to highest . so 5970 is 100X time better than my 9600 GT so how it can have problems with this GAME ? IF u havent get this rig yet then i suggest u to go for lower system & save money , because that rig is realy too high , but any way its UR Call body .
