GeForce GTX 1080 2-way SLI review - DX11: Far Cry Primal

DX11: Far Cry Primal

Set during the savage Stone Age, Far Cry Primal is a single player experience that takes place 10,000 BCE, in a time when massive beasts like the woolly mammoth and sabretooth tiger ruled the Earth. Players take on the role of Takkar, a seasoned hunter and the last surviving member of his tribe. Arriving in the majestic and savage land of Oros, Takkar has only one goal: survive in a world where humans are the prey. Players will journey as the first human to tame the wilderness and rise above extinction. Along the way, they will have to hunt for food, master fire, fend off fierce predators, craft weapons and tools partly from the bones of slain beasts and face off against other tribes to conquer Oros. 

We use Very High quality settings as it offers an acceptable level of performance versus quality and gives the mid-range cards some breathing room as well (for objective comparison). Games typically should be able to run in the 40 FPS range combined with your monitor resolution. From there on-wards you can enable/disable things if you need-more performance or demand even better game rendering quality. 

Up-to 2560x1440 you'll notice a massive CPU bottleneck (and we're using an 8-core Core i7 5960X at 4.4 GHz), but at Ultra HD it kicks in well.
