    Far Cry 2 isn't a "system killer"

    The question thats been on everybody's minds is wether Far Cry 2 will be playable on their overclocked-QX9650-crossfirex4870x2'd gaming machine. The answer is finally here;

    click here for the performance

    Seems as though it favours nvidia cards like crysis though...

    It's 4.98*

    wow, i should expect like 48FPS with this 9800GTX at 1680x1050, they did very different tests(joke). Who has AA at 1680x1050? so that should give you an extra 10 fps on it, double what crysis gives me so im 100%happy.

    yeah the forum is very poorly named, but blurb under does state xbox and 360 discussion.
    "The less you eat, drink and buy books; the less you go to the theatre, the dance hall, the public house; the less you think, love, theorise, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you save – the greater becomes your treasure which neither moths nor rust will devour – your capital. The less you are, the less you express your own life, the more you have, the greater is your alienated life, the greater is the store of your estranged being." Karl Marx

    haha

    Despite you being so wrong its actually quite funny, I liked that, so go ahead.

    Note, however, that every other thread in this forum is about Xbox or Xbox 360 games.

    Up until they added "for everything to do with Microsoft's Xbox and Xbox 360. " into the blurb, I assumed it included Microsoft Windows PC games too...

    Looks like it will run nicely on most hardware.
