Far Cry 2 (commonly abbreviated as “FC2 or “fc2″) is an open-ended first-person shooter developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It was released on October 21, 2008 in North Americaand on October 23, 2008 in Europe and Australia. It was made available on Steam on October 22, 2008. Crytek, the developers of the original game, were not involved in the development of Far Cry 2.
Ubisoft has marketed Far Cry 2 as the true sequel to Far Cry, though the sequel has very few noticeable similarities to the original game. Instead, it features completely new characters and setting, as well as a new style of gameplay that allows the player greater freedom to explore different African landscapes such as deserts, jungles, and savannas. The game takes place in a modern-day East African nation in a state of anarchy and civil war. The player takes control of a mercenary on a lengthy journey to locate and assassinate “The Jackal,” a notorious arms dealer.
Far Cry 2 is still a popular game and the open world environment can be taxing on even the latest hardware available today.

For the GTX550 to become a winner will need a change in price from nVidia. The 5 frames per second jump from the GTS450 to the GTX550 at 910MHz is useful and makes things smoother. Clocking up to just over 1GHz also delivers a solid increase. Unfortunately, the similarly priced GTX460 still leads.
The £115 card seems like a good buy for the money. the other ones at 150 quid are just stupid.
Shortest Kitguru video card review yet. Zardon taking a break ?
Not sure im sold on these cards, the 460 seems better all round, still. even if its a few quid more.
most pointless nvidia release, evar.
Their pricing is wrong, the lower end model is good value, would like to see overclocking etc and power consumption results. very limited review.
I read a lot of reviews about this card, and while its the price I normally buy into, the card hasn’t got me excited at all. Im holding onto my 450 until the next generation.
Nice to see the slower version tested, thats quite a price difference
At 145 its a waste of money, but at 115 its viable. thats such a huge price difference, seems way out. at 115 its more competitive.
