EVGA GeForce GTX 285 1GB SSC Edition Review

Far Cry 2 DX9


Even though Far Cry 2 has its own built-in benchmarking tool with some flythroughs and “action scenes”, we decided to record our own timedemo consisting of about 7 minutes of game time. It involves everything from run-and-gun fights to fire effects.

1680 x 1050





1920 x 1200





2560 x 1600




The leads of the GTX 285 over the 280 in past tests have been pretty extreme but things seem to be throttled back a bit when it comes to Far Cry DX9. Granted, the 285 still enjoys and approximate 10% advantage over a stock-clocked 280 but that is nowhere near the 20% we saw in some other games.
