budget?

< £100 if poss.

 

[Zephyrus]

6600GT would be your best card at that price in my opinion.
Someone else may know of its performance in far cry though.

 

[Legless]

I've used a 6600GT PCI-E card in Far Cry, runs fine if your on a budget...

 

[sunlitsix]

you can get X800GTO's for less than £100

 

[DVD Cinema]

Which is the best for Far Cry out of these then?

PowerColor ATI Radeon X800 GTO 128MB DDR TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-053-PC) 400/700/DDR3/12 pipelines @ £93.94.

XFX GeForce PCX6600 Extreme Edition 512MB DDR2 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (PVT43-PYDL3) (GX-063-XF) 560/900/DDR2 @ £99.82.

I have seen the Albatron 6800 128mb DDR TVO DVI PCI-E for £99 but not from OCuk, that would be another option.

As for performance look for some benchmarks

The X800GTO is faster. Its obviously also cheaper.

pci-e or agp? your gonna need a pretty good card to play at max settings since that includes HDR rendering.

It is pci-e and which card then?

 

[sunlitsix]

tbh you wouldnt be missing out on much if you didnt have HDR enabled in far cry. looks too bright imo

 

[DVD Cinema]

What other games on High setting would my proposed GTO spec run?

 

[Cyber-Mav]

go for a 7800gt for the price its good and is full of all needed features
