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).
Again, the card struggles to maintain playable frame rates, dropping to 19 fps in the most intensive gaming sections.
Dropping the resolution to 720p and lowering the anti aliasing to 4AA helps increase the frame rates and maintain a 30fps+ rate throughout.
interesting little card, looks almost like a plastic toy, but yet the cooler seems very good.
Ideal little board for a small form factor machine hooked into a plasma.
I like this series of cards, but the only issue I have with it, is AMD’s forced pricing levels. they need to drop them to 60 before I think they are really worth the cost
I was doing a little research, arent these guys associated with powercolor?
@ frankie, same parent company TUL. yes. Not sure why they need two sections of the company to produce graphics cards?
Cheap poor excuse for a card, mine broke before i even used it as the cooler fails to keep the GPU cool. Wouldn’t touch with a barge pole and the Customer support is non existent
