FarCry 2

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 no AA and no anisotropic enabled.



Far Cry 2 tells a different story than Dawn of War II. This time the Matrix GTX285 is the one with the big lead. However, once again, all three cards produced very playable results despite maxing out the image quality with Ultra settings, although AA wasn't turned on.
