Curious to see peoples results.
Settings 1680x1050 no AA everything max. Default Bench (Ranch small 3 passes)
Settings: Demo(Ranch Small), 1680x1050 (60Hz), D3D10, Fixed Time Step(No), Disable Artificial Intelligence(No), Full Screen, Anti-Aliasing(None), VSync(No), 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)
Cat.8.10 WHQL- Avg. 57.66 Max 81.36 Min. 41.10
After Hotfix applied- Avg. 58.19 Max. 83.05 Min. 40.67
I'm surprised to see basically no difference after installing the hotfix.

I traded with my friend, I didn't actually pay for em. I gave him my old 9800 GX2s quads for these, he doesn't game and he got them through his company. So he said to give me 1 GX2 and he'll give me the 280s, but since I have nothing to do with the 2nd one I just gave it to him, I think he will just put it in a computer and sell it

didn't test it with far cry, in general, yes it does. I play @ 1680x1050 in my room, but in my living room (where I play most of the time) I play @ 1920x1080.
Tri-sli scales very well for me in almost every game. It really shows its min and avg power in Cyrsis, where I can have 8xs AA and still do around 50-60 fps.
Hopefully my cuzin get his cards back soon, I want to see what 3 can do with Far cry 2.

Speed wise, my GX2 can run everything at close to 60 FPS at 1280x1024 res with no slowdown, but has major grahpical glitches (latest WHQL drivers).
1) When loading a new scene, there is a 50/50 chance the display will get curropted.
2) When exiting the game, there is around a 75% chance of the display driver failing, and not being able to recover (comp works, but display frozen).
Again, latest WHQL, no other games have issues (counting Crysis), see sig for comp specs.

nice results liquid but I would never spend so much money on 3 280's :]L1qu1d is rich. If you were L1u1d you would spend your money on 3 280s.

Arrggghhhh you guys are killing me !!!!
I have to wait 'till tomorrow to try this game .... will pick it up at EBgames after work and I will post my results ... A friend has a rig similar to mine and during gameplay he said it was running really smooth so I can't wait !!!Me too. I plan on getting it on my way home from work today. I half thought about calling in sick and picking it up this morning....

Liquid, could you disable SLI and give us an idea how two of those beasts are scaling for now? I'll do it with my wimpy pair of 8800GT this weekend when I get the game. Hopefully they won't = the 9800GX2 current efforts.

Hey guys FWIW I installed last night running @ 1920 X 1080 with all graphical settings maxed 4xAA in DX10 on my brand new 4870x2.
So with all settings at max:
min : 28
max: 76
avg : 39
All numbers I took from FRAPS.
P.S. I was using the 8.11 Beta and it would not work at all until I installed the hotfix drivers.

Nice scores L1qu1d.
I've run through again with 8x AA. Still 1680x1050 max settings.
Avg 47.49
Max. 70.40
Min. 27.11
At this setting your 280 is really kicking my 4870x2. The demo looked good but stutters at these settings. [H] reported no improvement from the 4870 to the 4870x2 so I'm wondering if there is still room for this to improve.
@ smartel, look forward to seeing your 4870 results.

I disabled SLI, it made no difference for me.8xs AA 1680x1050 Maxed out DX 10.
Pretty impressive for 1 280 GTX.
AVG: 57.35
MAX: 95.99
MIN: 49.10
I'm surprised the min frame rate was actually 1 fps higher, which pretty much means no difference since 1 fps is just error zone.
Thanks for doing that. Impressive for one 280 for sure. Not impressive for SLI though. Is there a Far Cry 2 profile in your current driver versions NV control panel?
L1qu1d
October 23, 2008 10:55:14 PM
yes there is, it says SLI enabled, but honestly I don't see it helping. I think the driver didn't fully install properly, because fan options are gone for the 280s, I'm going to reinstalled 2nite and private message you the results so I don't have to flood the forums for our personal use
Unless ppl want to see the results

Single 280 GTX
well I reinstalled the drivers, and with a single card I got 49 fps AVG with a 39 min frame rate with 8x AA:S thats a 10 frame decrease.
After I reinstalled the divers again, now I get back to 57-59 each time the test is very random, I still think there are some bugs. I think I saw a 55 there too for AVG, all with AA 8x.
I'm going to try SLI right now and post back.

I too am finding that actual game play is giving me better frame rates than the benchmark. So far I'm not too impressed but I've been so looking forward to this game I'll give it a good chance before I pass judgement.
Also as L1qu1d has said it looks good but is not as good as Crysis. I've not played Stalker but for me Crysis and Warhead are the closest to photo realism that I've seen.

Honestly, Crysis looks much better and plays a bit better too, unfortunatley. But i think the DUNIA engine is fairly new so take that into consideration.

no1 is arguing that far cry has better graphics, but its the small details that they paid attention to that makes far cry a more credible scenario. For example in Far Cry 2, the engine (the team I should say) did a good job making sure that I felt like I was actually in Africa. The game is very colorful and diverse.
Crysis had a lot of highly detailed, but very repetitive scenes, green here, green there. I mean other than the see the game is gret and greed
Its just if you look at things like the detail they put in Crysis to make it look picture perfect is amazing.
While in Far Cry 2 if you look real hard, you can still tell that its a game for sure ( thats not to say that you can't tell in crysis, its just harder
)

One thing i have noticed so far is the gameplay lacks "Hook-age". You want to keep your players playing.
For example, in the opening scene of COD4, you are kidnapped and see a bunch of people get shot before you yourself are assasinated. HOLY CRAP!!! In Crysis, you launch out of a plane and hit by some alien and drop a thousand feet into the ocean. BITCHIN! In FC2, you are in a taxi for a few minutes, unable to skip the cut screen. After a while i figured id see some action. Nope. At the end, your finally get a gun, only to pass out twenty seconds later. Not much "Hook-age" there.
