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. |
The new GeForce GTS 450 crushed the Radeon HD 5770 in the FarCry 2 benchmark, even when running at reference specifications. The overclocked EVGA and Asus cards offered much more performance than the reference model, which obviously extended NVIDIA's lead here.
