Hi everybody,
I just got FarCry and it looks amazing! Even, on my little Radeon 8500. I'm really impressed. I haven't figured out yet the impact of all the Advanced Video Options on game performance. I was wandering if anyone here, know how to benchmark this game?
I really liked the HALO "built-in" benchmark, this was very useful to find the appropriate settings to run the game at decent FPS.
I searched over the net, but I'm not a hardcore gamer, so I haven't any clue or evidence of built-in benchmarks or command line options of this games.
<b>NOTE FarCry vs HALO :</b>
I really think the the HALO dev. team didn't made a good job when they coded for the PC. I barely get 15 to 20 FPS (in 800x600) in this game. I was thinking that my Radeon 8500 would never run future games. So, I was a bit worried when I got FarCry. I expected to get less than 20 FPS in 800x600, because of my HALO experience. But not! I'm really impressed with the FPS, I actually run the game in 800x600 with "average quality" and still get more than 100 FPS (measured wiht FRAPS).
And I will try higher quality setting tonight to see how this impact FPS with FRAPS.
The only 2 options that mess up the display is WATER and LIGHTING, I have to test these options a little bit more to conclude that they don't work with my Radeon 8500.
