 FarCry |
If you've been on top of the gaming scene for some time, you probably know that FarCry was one of the most visually impressive games to be released in 2004.

Before titles such as Half-Life 2 and Doom 3 hit the scene, FarCry gave us a taste of what was to come in next-generation 3D gaming on the PC. We benchmarked the |
Performance scores from Far Cry have always been somewhere between those of Quake 4 and Half-Life 2. Fortunately with MSI's NX7300GS, this game is much more playable than Quake 4. With High Quality settings and no AA or AF, you'll get a high enough framerate to enjoy the game at 800x600.

At the end of our game testing, we'd have to say you'll probably be sticking to settings like 800x600 with no AA/AF for most newer games.

It's time to see how much extra performance we can squeeze out of MSI's NX7300GS TD256E by overclocking its core and memory...
