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.

When we look at the results we can see that the MSI GTX 660 OC Edition Twin Frozr manages to almost keep up with the fantastic flagship GTX580 from the last generation. This is an Nvidia focused game title, and the HD7950 and HD7970 perform at a lower level with this specific engine.
About time, long overdue.
Looks like it was worth it . ill wait until Nov before diving in for my second system im buidling right now. Prices might be lower too !
Just skimmed it as im in work, but looks like a winner. good pricing. AMD prices will drop again soon 🙂
They make great coolers , even better than ASUS imo. and I dont often say that as ASUS are pure pawnage in the mobo space.
They have needed this card for such a long time now. but I fear AMD might already be in the wings waiting with their 8 series cards. january I reckon
