*** Far Cry 2 1680 x 1050 max settings Top List ***

[jonnylaris]

So I'm interested to see the performance differences between different setup's in this game and so decided to start this top list!

Settings: (Ultra High!)

Benchmark: Playback (Demo Ranch) (AI:On)

DX9 OR 10 No AA

I have found that results do not change when selecting more than 1 loop so for this test 1 loop is fine. Just a screeny like I have posted below would be fine.

No Screenshot no entry!

Top List is decided from Average FPS.

Just make it dx9 with the settings above then, we dont need a database when we can post the results as above!

 

[jonnylaris]

No AA and low res, not going to show much.

LOL what? Are you daft?

1680 x 1050 res opens the test to more users as not everyone has a 30" tft lying around now do they.

 

[jonnylaris]

• Average Framerate: 43.03
• Max. Framerate: 57.45
• Min. Framerate: 30.46

Settings: Demo(Ranch Small), 1680x1050 (60Hz), D3D10, Fixed Time Step(No), Disable Artificial Intelligence(No), Full Screen, Anti-Aliasing(None), VSync(No), Overall Quality(Ultra High), Vegetation(Very High), Shading(Ultra High), Terrain(Ultra High), Geometry(Ultra High), Post FX(High), Texture(Ultra High), Shadow(Ultra High), Ambient(High), Hdr(Yes), Bloom(Yes), Fire(Very High), Physics(Very High), RealTrees(Very High)

any chance of a screeny m8?

 

[jonnylaris]

Daft? No. Its just wide screen 1280x1024, hardly demanding in DX9 with no AA.

Yes but it will still show how different setup's perform wont it?

 

[jonnylaris]

Be interesting to see results for a game that hasn't been optomised more for nvidia cards than ati. Warhead and crysis threads were farcical in terms of the obviously skewed results.

Some who is actually interested in this thread! Thanx

 

[jonnylaris]

E8500 @ 4.313ghz
4gb DDR2 @ 1135mhz
4850 @ 870/1150
Server 08 64bit

Can you include the top part in your screenshot aswell? That doesn't look like the Playback demo benchmark to me.

 

[jonnylaris]

dx9 max dx10 max but which resolution oh dear

1680 X 1050 AS THE THREAD STATES!

 

[jonnylaris]

oh craps wrong demo now i get you. re-running now

thanx il just edit your entry when you re-run

 

[jonnylaris]

updated original post.....

updated!

 

[jonnylaris]

System in my sig

snip.

you fixed it

 

[jonnylaris]

On a side note just done the below bench @ 1920x1200 and only 3fps lower!!!!!:

snip..

Mines the same:

only 3 fps lower in 1920 x 1200!

 

[jonnylaris]

mine with 1920 x 1200 8aa

 

[jonnylaris]

Yeah i guess, i just loaded up my game, and turned the AA off, and you can notice small jaggies on the roofs of huts etc, but when you moving about its hard to tell, i have it set to 2x AA then its quiet hard to tell the difference when still and looking for jaggies. At the end of the day, id much rather have a sliky smooth framerate and a bit of jaggie and a below 30fps and no jaggies what so ever

+1

 

[jonnylaris]

Q6600 at 3.33Ghz
9800Gx2
4GB at 740 mhz (i think)

i take it you are running the new beta drivers m8 ?

 

[jonnylaris]

E6750 @ 3.6Ghz
4870 1GB
Vista Ultimate 64
CAT 8.10

Wrong test m8

 

[jonnylaris]

Scores updated!

 

[jonnylaris]

That 9800Gx2 score is a bit wierd to say the least

 

[jonnylaris]

I get 35 fps in dx9 and only 19 fps in dx10. any ideas what the problem might be? i'm using 178.24

Try the new 180.42 drivers.

Havent made any difference what so ever for me, but then again im not running dx10.
