4870 1GB only 1.4fps faster than 8800GT in FarCry2?!

hi m8,
there is definatly somthing wrong there, my new 4870 gives me 90fps constant with max settings and a 22" monitor.

Did you change from the 8800gt to the 4870? if so then there might be driver conflicts, i had many problems with swapping from nvidia to ati, so in the end i just did a clean install.

but befor you do that have you updated to the latest drivers, i think they are 8.12 (thats what i am using)

here is a link.

alos what are the other componants of your pc, something may be holding the gpu back.

hope this info helps

hey guys, problem solved, see first post...

I kinda agree on the "sucks ass" part. What a disappointment this game was ... !!! What's even worse is that with a few changes it could have been GOTY material.

i strongly agree. the setup for the story allowed for a much deeper and more interesting plot, and the game is so unoriginal. every mission involves you going somewhere and shooting everybody, and you have to shoot through a million guard posts along the way, and the guard respawn by the time you come back. very annoying. i actually gave up on playing it because it was so boring. that and that the game crashed every 15 minutes.
