FarCry Performance

FarCry has ended up looking a lot like Day of Defeat. We see that most of the tests are lead by the new driver on a dual core system. The only test that really falls short isn't really a failing. At 1600x1200 with 4xAA all the tests are pretty GPU limited. This game does benefit a little from dual core processors on its own. We can see that in the way the 5.11 dual core test shows a performance increase over the single core test -- without any driver specific optimizations.

    Way to talk for everyone... I care, so there.

    not like games these days are CPU bottlenecked, thats why we really only see improvements at 800x600, nVidia doesn't gain much in the higher resolutions either

    Obviously you don't multitask? Like do you run a bittorrent client downlaoding off ADSL2 whilst playing a game, or run a IIS server in the background, or run other apps?

    The days are gone of having a single task able computer as most users want multitasking due to their better understand and use of their machines.

    That's odd. I thought they're going to use either the X2 4800, the 4400, or the 3800 CPU for the test... I'm a little surprised that they'd go for the 4600 to benchmark this.

    what difference does it make? it's a dual-core cpu. for this sort of test, it makes no difference whether a 4600 is most popular to buy or not (which I agree it isn't).

    first post!

    looks promising for ATI.
