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 America and 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.
Settings: 1920×1200, D3D10, Disable Artificial Intelligence(No), Full Screen, Anti-Aliasing(8x), VSync(No), Overall Quality(Ultra High), Vegetation(Very High), Shading(Ultra High), Terrain(Ultra High), Geometry(Ultra High), Post FX(High), Texture(Ultra High), Shadow(Ultra High), Ambient(High), Hdr(Yes), Bloom(Yes), Fire(Very High), Physics(Very High), RealTrees(Very High).
Another impressive ‘open world' environment based game which still looks good. The MSI N570 leads the pack, by around 8 frames per second.
They make great cards, although I read a thread on guru3d last month from some guy who bought a similarly cooled card and he said it failed on him in the space of a few weeks. maybe he got unlucky.
570 is a great price now, very competitive and faster than HD6970 at reference clocks.
I would probably still spend a bit more on 580.
My frozr card was running v ery hot. IO removed the cooler, and replaced the thermal paste. it fixed the problem. its a common factory related issue going on threads on internet. whoever is applying paste is not applying enough.
Nice. good price for a modified card too. I am happy with my 560 however. I only game at 1080p and dont worry about anti aliasing.
Good range of cards, never owned one, but the reviews are always positive. I would always change the thermal paste on a card before using it, as factory application is always garbage.
This is why I never buy XFX, because you invalidate warranty now by taking the cooler off. (stickers on the screws).
