Benchmarks: FarCry

FarCry Source: Ubisoft

Real-time editing, bump mapping, static lights, network system, integrated physics system, shaders, shadows, and a dynamic music system are just some of the state of-the-art features that the CryENGINE offers. The game was set to Ultra quality and the Ubisoft's Regulator and Training demos were run.

At a resolution of 1024x768, no cards are stressed. We have to turn the resolution up to 1600x1200 before the videocards start to separate themselves. Here the Gigabyte GV-RX18L256V-B trails a single GeForce 7800GT by quite a bit. ATi has a good track record of extracting more performance with subsequent driver updates and it is safe to assume that the Gigabyte GV-RX18L256V-B and its Radeon X1800 XL brethren will only get faster in time.
