VGA performance: Just Cause 2

Using Windows XP ? Forget about this title. Just Cause 2 will be using DirectX 10 features instead. And since Windows XP directly comes with DirectX 9, this will not fly with the game. Your only remedy, therefore, is to install either Vista or Windows 7. Something about tethering cars to explosive barrels or poles gives us the impression that Just Cause 2 might run like trash on older PCs. But chances are you don't have an older PC, Mr-Shiny-New-PC-reader. Square Enix announced that Just Cause 2 will support NVIDIA's CUDA tech. It will also support 3D.

JC2 is a story all by itself. NVIDIA cards will had extra options in image quality. We have 8xAA and 16xAF enabled in these tests. NVIDIA CUDA specific eye-candy like Bokeh filter and GPU Water Simulation have been disabled so that we can compare objectively with the Radeon graphics adapters.

And last but not least, a couple of the latest available high-end cards compared. Before you wonder, that R5970 had an issue alright, multi-GPU clearly did not kick in.
