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.

All the nvidia based boards claim the top spots, with the MSI N560GTX TFII ending up in third position, another strong result.
damn, thats a nice card. MSI certainly have created one of the nicest looking cards !
Thats what im talking about. under £200 too ! wow, was expecting it to be 230. best buy right now? must be up there with the best.
Have to hand it to MSI, they know their card designs. I dont buy into that ‘military grade’ stuff myself, but the cards get plenty of attention to detail and thats worth a lot of credit when some other manufacturers can be very lazy.
Excellent, glad to see a good 560 here, even among the 40,000 AMd reviews 😉
I have the 460 GTX from MSI, which I read here and on bitech last year, its been the best video card ive owned. I dont really need this card, but the next generation 660 ? ill be getting that from MSI. awesome boards.
560 is an awesome card, thanks for the review Z, awesome as always.
Wish they would do a 2GB version. lets also hope the new generation will support 3 screens without needing two.
Very impressed with this board, 60c under load when gaming? thats better than a 5770 I have in another case !
Great price point to achieve. would be my first choice for a new card.
nvidia tessellation performance gets to me everytime. AMD have still such a long way to go.
proves a point too that when AMD fans say Nvidia suck a lot of power, the new designs have it sorted. 🙂
