System Builder Marathon, Q4 2013: $1600 Enthusiast PC

Results: F1 2012 And Far Cry 3

F1 2012 is also platform-limited. Once again, we see no practical difference until the highest detail levels are turned on with anti-aliasing, and even then we only witness the new build's advantage at 5760x1080.

Far Cry 3

In Far Cry 3, the dual-GPU configuration helps even at medium levels of detail once we're at 4800x900. Using the Ultra quality preset with 4x MSAA, this quarter's effort leaps ahead at every resolution, though.
