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).
Aliens V Predator has proved to be a big seller since the release and Sega have taken the franchise into new territory after taking it from Sierra. AVP is a Direct X 11 supported title and delivers not only advanced shadow rendering but high quality tessellation for the cards on test today.
To test the cards we used a 1080p resolution with DX11, Texture Quality Very High, MSAA Samples 1, 16 af, ambient occulsion on, shadow complexity high, motion blur on. We use this with most of our graphics card testing so cards are comparible throughout reviews.
Great figures from all configurations running on the ASRock Fatal1ty board.
Looks the part, thats for sure. nice specs. They are never a company I consider when im looking at a motherboard however.
great looking product, no doubt about it.
Layout looks good, i wouldnt be so sure about jumping from Asus mind you yet, early days for them in this sector/
I wouldn’t mind one of these for my new system next month, but im waiting on an MSI big bang board whenever that is scheduled. anyone know?
Interesting to see ASROCk trying to break their older reputation for releasing poorly configured but cheap products. they seem to be doing well this year so far.
Excellent all round specifications and build quality. pricing isnt too bad either, although for 60 more you can get into the X58 sector.
I love red and black, wicked. Just hate to see that guys face everywhere, very annoying!
Previously I was only looking at Gigabyte and Asus (in that order) but lately I start to notice MSI and now ASRock… interesting…
There is almost no reason to get this board when the ASRock Extreme 4 is basically the exact same board without the silly fatality mouse port and red colors while being $40 cheaper.
And you don’t have to stare at the guy’s face while in UEFI :p
Oops, meant the extreme6, not extreme4
I just ordered one – hope its clocks my 2600k well
