Gaming: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2

Don't mistake the PC version for being a port of the Xbox 360 game. The PC version has larger and different levels than those featured on the Xbox 360, as well as a different graphics engine and style of gameplay.

The game itself looks great and the intricate physics modeling seen in the single-player version is still active in the multiplayer version.

There are all sorts of other interactions you'll encounter in multiplayer.
For instance, aluminum cans litter the street and stepping on them not only kicks them around, but also creates a loud sound that may betray your presence to the enemy.

And here are the results done with the newer GRAW2. Image Quality settings:

Edge Smoothing Anti Aliasing
16x anisotropic filtering
Dynamic shadows HIGH

At 2560x1600 the BFG GeForce GTX 280 pushes over 80 FPS. it's apparent though that the differences between the reference clocked cards and the BFG OC edition is really small.

Alright, we've shown you enough benchmarks to get you a reasonable idea of what the performance will be like. Let's move onward to some overclocking.

BFG GeForce GTX 280 OCX review
OCX is short for 'Overclocking eXtreme' and it literally boils down to the fact that this is BFG's most high-end specced product in whatever the product range might be. Today we take the fastest NVIDIA graphics card available on the planet. The GeForce GTX 280.
