Mainstream Graphics Card Roundup

Benchmark Results: Far Cry 2

Far Cry 2 is a 3D shooter. Its Dunia engine offers compelling DirectX 10 visual effects, particularly when rendering fire, shadows, water, background vegetation, and streaming sunlight through dust, fog, rain, and so forth. We used the Very High setting for our high-end tests.

The test sequence runs the Ranch Small benchmark, which shows numerous people, a sweeping plain, burning grass, and thatch huts. At a resolution of 1920x1200 with AA turned on, graphics RAM becomes very important. The highest test setting for AA was 8x.
