Far Cry 2 (DX10) Far Cry 2 (DX10) 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 5 minutes of game time. It involves everything from run-and-gun fights to fire effects. The built-in benchmarking too was then set up to replay the timedemo and record framerates 1680 x 1050   1920 x 1200   2560 x 1600   Remember earlier this year when we used simulated numbers in our GF100 article to predict that there was a 25% difference between the GTX 480 and HD 5870 at 1920 x 1200 resolution in Far Cry 2? Guess what folks, we were right. We also showed a 27% difference at 2560 x 1600 and we were within a mere 6% of the actual gap. Considering the difference between NVIDIA’s test system and ours, in addition to the driver advances made and the fact that we are using a custom timedemo, we feel vindicated. As for actual performance, there really isn’t much competition here from the HD 5870, while the GTX 480 occasionally flirts with the HD 5970. | ||||
