farcry 2 benchmarks

http://www.pcgameshardware.com/aid,663817/Reviews/Far_Cry_2_GPU_and_CPU_benchmarks/?page=1

I don't think I'll be maxing this out

 

[deathman20]

Wahoo I should beable to max it out

So how would a 7800GT (1440x900) run this? I'm looking at the benchmarks and they don't include any 7xxx or ATI x1xxx cards, so any ideas?

Dang it! There goes my hope of running 1920x1200 with a single 4870. Looks like I'll have to pick up a 2nd one...

My guess would be it should run fine on about medium or high settings. All those benchmarks were done on very high at higher resolution with eye candy on, so I think you could have a good experience at slightly lower settings. Keep in mind that this game will run on consoles so the 7800GT should be fine.

I am at work atm so can't see the link, how does fc2 compare to crysis then? (benchmarks)

 

[nightelph]

^ I don't think its nearly as taxing as Crysis (based off this ONE review), but you'll still probably need top end hardware to smoothly run it fully maxed at 19x12.

ok thanks, Ill only be running at 1280x1024 for a while so my 8800GTS 512 should do me fine for the moment then

I have been watching all the trailers for this game and it does look great and almost seems to have a GTA type scheme going to it. I am not sure if the game will run smooth or not but if the game is as good as it's hyped to be it will be a good reason to go 260 GTX.

[Gabkicks]

I don't think I'll be maxing this out

I hope I'll be able to run at 1280x1024 w/ max settings...

 

[dreamtfk]

I got some nasty spyware on my computer so I'm gonna be reformatting and starting clean with fresh drivers

 

[don'tknow]

From the new videos at IGN, the gameplay seems to be almost the same as Crysis. Just no aliens or nanosuit. But obviously there's going to be more to it that hasn't been shown. The new Dunia engine running much better than CryEngine2 is a very good improvement though, but I can't tell how it looks visually until I run it on my system... blurry online videos don't do it justice.

yea weird change of heart i guess and went console

 

[xtkxhom3r]

i guess so.... if you look at the date that vid was added it was back in jan so i guess thats more than enough time to port it to consoles?

i guess i see why they did it now they have a way larger market i just hope they still made it look alot better for pc
