Far Cry

The GeCube Radeon X1900 XTX yields over 90fps in 1600x1200 with enabled FSAA and anisotropic filtering, leaving the rest of the participating graphics cards behind. In lower resolutions the GeForce 7900 GT drops out of the common group due to its lower GPU and graphics memory clock rates.

The Radeon X1800 XT with only 16 pixel processors joins the outsiders on the Research map which uses version 3.0 shaders. The GeCube Radeon X1900 XTX is still in the lead, but is closely followed by the GeForce 7900 GTX which in its turn is successfully competing with the Radeon X1900 XT.

Although HDR support for ATI’s Radeon X1000 cards is not quite efficient in the current version of Far Cry , the performance of the GeCube Radeon X1900 XTX is rather high in this mode – you can play with comfort in 1280x1024.

It’s the same on the Research map. Note the huge difference – about 20% – between the Radeon X1900 XT and the GeCube Radeon X1900 XTX. We can’t explain this since the clock rates of the cards differ but very little. Can it be that the extra 25MHz of GPU frequency produce such a colossal effect here?
