Far Cry 3 GPUs Test

Crap Daddy · Nov 21, 2012, 06:26 PM

Apart from receiving stellar reviews, Far Cry 3 apparently puts your expensive GPUs to hard work!

It's a mistake in the header of the graph, the settings are in fact 4 x MSAA + A2C

Hotlinking is not allowed in some forums and frowned upon generally. If you hotlink, it will block the image, like it is currently.

Copy the image from the site, and host it here with a link for credit and all should be well.

Crap Daddy · Nov 21, 2012, 06:39 PM

Done.

ChristTheGreat · Nov 21, 2012, 06:45 PM

If this is right, my HD6950 will be changed I guess soon :S

I can play without AA, just need max settings.. Will see also if CPU speed will get higher FPS or not.

But changing when new gen are close to get released (like march april) for crysis 3, ummm, it's an hard choice :S

the54thvoid · Nov 21, 2012, 06:45 PM

Holy crap.

36 fps at 1080 res?

That's brutal. Hope crossfire works

Crap Daddy · Nov 21, 2012, 06:48 PM

To make things "worse", it seems it's a must buy game:

It's sandboxy right? That pretty much meant i was buying it anyway.

erixx · Nov 21, 2012, 06:55 PM

Does it come with the fool proof editor to let anyone make custom maps on the go ?

Nothing easier then answering oneself:

"USE THE MAP EDITOR TO CREATE AND ACCESS NEW CONTENT

cdawall · Nov 21, 2012, 07:03 PM

I would hope it maxes out current GPU's on high anything less may as well be a console port.

MightyMission · Nov 21, 2012, 07:28 PM

That's some high accolades! The xbox video doesn't give any clues as to why this game will be the new "can it run crysis" though

Widjaja · Nov 21, 2012, 07:39 PM

That's some serious low fps for such high end gpus!
And this is with the AMD BETA drivers which are supposed to increase performance in this game.

ViperXTR · Nov 22, 2012, 01:41 AM

i wonder if it would help that i only run at 1280 x 1024 display on my old (and dying) GTX 460 SE oc'd D:

And looking at the CPU test, it seems to be maxed out in using only ~4 threads.
