Far Cry 3 VGA Graphics Benchmark performance test

na just unoptimized, better of using grfs for benchmarks than this game.

 

I can not understand how this game is part of the AMD Gaming Evolve and they have really poor performance on this game, lets see, the 7970 is losing vs 670.Sad days for those who bought an AMD card, oh man...At least the prices and the bundles are good.

 

@ left4dead, lol, ya I guess I could...
I just poured what I had, back then, into the machine hoping it would last a bit (and it will, realistically) at the top. Time always tells the true tale though. I am lucky to have what I have. I suppose it always comes as a surprise when we begin to realize that we may not be what we once were.

 

yes, you´re right, i know what you mean. when i bought my 7970 i tought i was gonna stay cool for, at least, 1 year and half, but, with her performance in far cry 3, i dont know anymore. this, despite my low resolution of 1680x1050 on a 22" samsung.

 

Dunia has tended to perform better on Nvidia hardware than AMD, Far Cry 2 was a game were Nvidia always had a large performance lead.

AMD likely worked on this game to minimise this as much as they could, so i wouldn't be too hard on them as it's not like it's losing by anything you would really notice.

 

maybe this is a dumb question, but where do I access the internal benchmark (just downloaded off Uplay now)???

 

I've not heard of it having an in-game benchy.

 

I'm guessing Hilbert simply benchmarked an in-game run-through.

 

Hmmm, I've read a couple of reviews that referenced an "internal benchmark", including our fearless leader himself. Maybe I'll just have to do a FRAPS run or ten once I get through the intro portion.... :bounce:

 

Different review, different results ..

In this one, the difference lay on the MSAA ( you have no AA and then 4xMSAA +A2C ) and maybe some other base setting ( dunno if HH have use ultra or VeryHigh ) ) or even they use a different place.


In additon the games and driver of both Nvidia and AMD need a little more optimisation for it. There's 2 patch who have been allready made ( the Zero day one + a second) for fix some little things, hence why they have update allready their drivers for the game in just 3 days ...

 

I'll just post this here:

 

Without AA I can play even on ultra and get 50 fps avg easy. Tweak it a little (somewhere between very high and ultra) and 55-60 is butter. AA is the real problem here, even 2x will hurt fps a lot, 4x or 8x will completely destroy it. Also for anyone having weird stuttering, set gpu render ahead to 2, stuttering will be completely gone.

 

I was going to post the same, the review of PCG looks much more accurate (i'm only talking about the 7970), i tried to play with everything maxed out (NO MSAA) the result was 60FPS steady with the latest BETA 11 + CAP 12.11 V2.

 

From looking at the memory usage for 1920x1200 I think I should be able to lay it on pretty thick at 1920x1080 with two 570s. Just got like 7 new games on Steam and this FC3 DL is taking forever and a day but I should know soon. Looks fun, can't wait.

 

Different method, different setting, different place different way of think to it, hence why it is allways better to look 2-3 review and draw a line between them. ( same goes for hardware reviews ).

 

It's not that, the results from Guru3D review (CAT 12.11 B11 + CAP2 12.11) are exactly the same if you compare it with the first review that used the 12.11 B8 CAP 12.10...

 

Interesting, maybe Hilbert will fix that:nerd:

 

I use no AA and game @ 1080 and to hold 60fps i get around 70% usage at least in beginning level, so yeah that graph looks spot on.
HH already said in the V2 review that the new AMD driver didn't really do anything, and lets face it there's none many other reviewer that beats HH.
just sayin'.

 

Another great performance test.
And is nice to confirm that my i7 965 @ 3.8ghz still rules
