Like the original, FarCry 2 is one of the more visually impressive games to be released on the PC to date. Courtesy of the Dunia game engine developed by Ubisoft, FarCry 2's game-play is enhanced by advanced environment physics, destructible terrain, high resolution textures, complex shaders, realistic dynamic lighting, and motion-captured animations. We benchmarked the graphics cards in this article with a fully patched version of FarCry 2, using one of the built-in demo runs recorded in the "Ranch" map. The test results shown here were run at various resolutions with 4X AA enabled. |
FarCry 2 was essentially CPU bound at 1920x1200 and all of the high-end, dual-GPU cards finished within a couple of frames per second of one another. At the higher resolution, the MARS II and GeForce GTX 590 distanced themselves from the Radeons and the GTX 590 notched out a victory.
