Far Cry 2 Graphics Performance

Strife212 · 21 Oct 2008 at 22:45

It's looking good, this is at 2560x1600 at the highest possible ingame settings with 0x AA and 16x AF.

Edit:

My own personal benchmark, just ran Far Cry 2:
1920x1200
All settings Ultra High
8x Anti Aliasing
Direct X 10

Average Framerate: 41.57
Max. Framerate: 57.78
Min. Framerate: 31.05

Without the new Far Cry driver.

Looks good

Strife212 · 21 Oct 2008 at 22:50

I need a bigger monitor!

8800gt/ gts performance?

LoadsaMoney · 21 Oct 2008 at 22:53

Should run great at lower res's than that then.

Magnum_Force · 21 Oct 2008 at 22:54

Anybody else notice there is virtually no difference between the HD4870 and HD4870X2 in terms of FPS.

assuming no framebuffer issues (the 4850 doesn't seem to be affected) then about half the performance of the 260.

Pilky01 · 21 Oct 2008 at 22:56

Looks good, thats a huge res as well.

Yeah

Wonder if this was ran with the new beta nvidia drivers which boast incredible performance boosts for farcry2?

They didn't test with the new hotfix drivers - they provide a CrossFire profile.

yeah, theres already a hotfix for ati drivers that greatly improves the performance of the 4870x2 for far cry 2

Not bad indeed. I think it's the kinda game that'll need a fair bit of AA to look brilliant though

gt_junkie · 21 Oct 2008 at 23:08

Nice - just need a 30" monitor and i'm good! :cool:

Maybe not...assassin's creed looked pretty fine 1600x1200 maxed out

(and it does not allow any AA at that res!)

We double checked this, but it appears that the Radeon HD 4870 X2 is not performing much faster than the Radeon HD 4870. It does not appear that both 4870X2 GPUs are accelerating this game for added performance over the single-GPU Radeon HD 4870. We don’t quite know what to make of this just yet; we were using the new Hotfix AMD driver so the latest driver was being used. It may be that CrossFire isn’t working with this game yet, or it could mean there is simply a bug.

That all said the 4870X2 looks to be a monster in FarCry if AMD gets the scaling fixed as it will likely best the GTX 280 by a fair margin. Then again, the 4870X2 is about $125 more expensive than a GTX 280 as well.

Inazuma · 21 Oct 2008 at 23:34

So... I'm guessing 2560x1600 is becoming a standard res now? :rolleyes:

I hope this doesnt mean Crossfire isnt going to work, I really want both cards on this one!!

D3lirious · 21 Oct 2008 at 23:50

So ATI released hotfix drivers that improve the crossfire scaling. What was performance increase from 4870 to 4870x2 before the hotfix, 0.1%?

I'm not bitter or anything

fraps · 21 Oct 2008 at 23:54

just looking at the article now I see bloom ticked instead of HDR? Isn't HDR better?
