Image quality settings and benchmark system

Before we begin with the graphics performance tests a little explanation. Far Cry New Dawn uses an enhanced version of the Dunia 2 engine. Though the game uses DirectX 11 API, the development team have optimized the game extensively to take advantage of hardware capabilities. Furthermore, the game is a testament to achieving proper visual fidelity while keeping overall polygon count in check. Nature lovers will be pleased to find very dense foliage and clutter, all possible through clever usage of the engine’s impostor system.

We test with Ultra quality settings enabled. The game will allow settings like aspect ration, FOV, FPS locking and resolution scaling can all be fooled around with, “The game will auto-detect the user’s hardware and will set the matching quality preset and resolution.”

The graphics cards tested

In this article, we'll make use of the following cards at a properly good PC experience graphics quality wise, the quality mode as shown above with Vsync disabled (which needs to be done by editing a configuration file). The graphics cards used in this test are:

GeForce GTX 1050 3GB
Geforce GTX 1050 Ti (4GB)
GeForce GTX 1060 (6GB)
GeForce GTX 1070
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti
GeForce GTX 1080
GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
GeForce GTX 980
GeForce GTX 980 Ti
GeForce RTX 2060
Geforce RTX 2070
Geforce RTX 2080
Geforce RTX 2080 Ti
GeForce Titan Xp
Radeon R9 390X (8GB)
Radeon R9 Fury
Radeon RX 470 (8GB)
Radeon RX 480 (8GB)
Radeon RX 570 (4GB)
Radeon RX 580 (8GB)
Radeon RX 590
Radeon RX Vega 56
Radeon RX Vega 64
Radeon VII
System specifications & drivers

Test environment (system specification)

Our graphics card test system has been upgraded. The recent premium GeForce RTX cards have been showing a bit of CPU limitation in the lower resolutions. We are using an eight-core Intel Core i9 9900K processor on the Z390 chipset platform. Next, to that, we have energy saving functions disabled for this motherboard and processor (to ensure consistent benchmark results). We use Windows 10 all patched up. Each card runs on the same PC with the same operating system clone.

System Spec

Core i9 9900K
Z390 (ASRock Tachi Ultimate)
16 GB DDR4 3200 MHz CL16
NVMe M.2. SSD WD Black

Graphics drivers

GeForce graphics cards use the latest 418.91 WHQL driver (download).
Radeon graphics cards we used the latest AMD Radeon Adrenalin 19.2.2 driver (download).

Our test PC was outfitted with this heavy setup to prevent and remove CPU bottlenecks that could influence high-end graphics card GPU scores. Let's head onwards to the next page where we'll look at some screenshots and then start measure several monitor resolutions in terms of relative performance versus quality settings.

The Benchmark

The has a built-in benchmark that actually offers a really good and balanced time run between heavy and light segment to render. We'll be using the included benchmark as it is very close to the actual gameplay. Settings wise for the generic benchmark part of this review we enable Ultra quality mode as really, any card can handle it. The PC version of the game has a built-in easy to use benchmark, the good thing is that it is really close to actual gameplay performance. For FC its assets, and the UI support 4k native, as well as ultra-wide resolutions, including 21:9 and the super ultra-wide 32:9 aspect ratio, like the Samsung CHG90 monitor. Far Cry boasts a new terrain and water system that’s running very efficiently on PC and consoles alike. The water system especially has some bleeding edge features, including advanced material blending, multiple water height levels and physics effects. The video below shows the benchmark run.
