Far Cry : HDR

The 384-bit bus influences the results strongly when we enable the game’s FP HDR mode. The CPU has a smaller effect on performance of graphics cards as the resolution grows up, and the GeForce 8800 GTX increases its lead over the Radeon X1950 XTX CrossFire, up to 30% in 1920x1200. The Pier map is heavy for the platform at large, that’s why the GeForce 8800 GTX doesn’t slow down much as the resolution grows up.

The Research map is less CPU-dependent than Pier, and the GeForce 8800 GTX enjoys a great advantage over the Radeon X1950 XTX CrossFire. Well, ATI’s solution suits for playing this game in every resolution too, including 1920x1200. The same is also true for the GeForce 7900 GTX SLI.
