Graphics Cards’ Performance, Pure Mode

Training Level

We begin with “Training” level that includes loads of vegetations, grass and water, just like many other levels of FarCry.

Note: minimal fps are marked with white numbers on the diagrams, black numbers represent average fps.

The level does not contain headroom for geometry instancing and has no situations where a number of pixel shaders 2.0 need to be performed in a single pass. However, ATI’s hardware, primarily RADEON X800 XT and RADEON X800 PRO got a slight performance boost for some reason.

The increase is enough for the RADEON X800 XT to leave the GeForce 6800 Ultra behind, but is not sufficient for RADEON X800 PRO to outperform its rival – the GeForce 6800 GT – in a mode that does not enable anisotropy and FSAA. The RADEON 9800 XT seriously lags behind NVIDIA’s GeForce 6800 graphics card.
