Benchmarks &Comparisons With Far Cry DX9 Effects Galore.

Far Cry

If you've been on top of the gaming scene, you probably know that Far Cry is one of the most visually impressive games to be released on the PC to date.  Far Cry gives us a taste of what is to come in next-generation 3D gaming on the PC.  We benchmarked the graphics cards in this review with a custom recorded demo run taken in the "Catacombs" area checkpoint, at various resolutions without AA or Aniso Filtering enabled and then with 4X AA enabled, and lastly with 4X AA and 16X Aniso enabled together.

ATi's Radeon X800 XT still offers better overall performance in this benchmark, but NVIDIA's GeForce 6800 series has made great strides in closing the gaps.  All told, it is a very close race between the competitive graphics processor architectures in this game engine, and the ASUS V9999 Ultra Deluxe puts up a solid showing in these test runs. Also, the V9999 Ultra Deluxe once again comes within a few frames of the GeForce 6800 Ultra Extreme Edition's performance.
