XFX HD5770 1GB Single Slot in CrossfireX Review

Far Cry 2 (commonly abbreviated as “FC2 or “fc2″) is an open-ended first-person shooter developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It was released on October 21, 2008 in North America and on October 23, 2008 in Europe and Australia. It was made available on Steam on October 22, 2008. Crytek, the developers of the original game, were not involved in the development of Far Cry 2.

Ubisoft has marketed Far Cry 2 as the true sequel to Far Cry, though the sequel has very few noticeable similarities to the original game. Instead, it features completely new characters and setting, as well as a new style of gameplay that allows the player greater freedom to explore different African landscapes such as deserts, jungles, and savannas. The game takes place in a modern-day East African nation in a state of anarchy and civil war. The player takes control of a mercenary on a lengthy journey to locate and assassinate “The Jackal,” a notorious arms dealer.

For our testing we are using Direct X 10 rendering mode, with all in game details set to “Ultra High”. HDR is enabled and 4AA is turned on.

Far Cry 2 is a game which clearly benefits from a Crossfire solution as minimum frame rates are boosted above 30fps into the 40-50 zone. This enhances the overall gaming experience significantly.
