Far Cry 3 VGA and CPU Graphics Benchmark performance test V2




Posted by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 12/04/2012 01:12 PM | 53 comment(s) ]
Three days ago we released a Far Cry 3 performance article. This article has now been updated towards 24 tested graphics cards. The AMD Radeon cards have been tested with the new 12.11 Beta 11 driver released today. We also threw in a handful of multi-GPU cards like the Radeon HD 6990 and GeForce GTX 690. We also noticed that a lot of people where wondering what kind of effect processors have on this game, so we added a page on that as well we'll test the game with a handful of popular processors.
You can read revision 2 of this Guru3D article right here.

Have you tried beta 12.11 Beta 11 WITH the new CAP installed ?
Crossfire performance is terrible, stutter fest. Runs smooth on 1 GPU.

670 has a lot of horsepower and AMD equivalent, rolling into 2013 with a 580 you're gonna need to make compromises in the candy dept.

Running FC3 at ultra settings without AA is perfectly fine with the 580gtx.

I could buy 2 680 right now, the performance increase isnt worth it to me.
check out this gk110 tesla card. 2496 shaders. hopefully we will see this as the 780 gk110 in 2013.
