Far Cry

Unfortunately, AMD hasn’t yet solved the obvious problems its ATI Radeon HD 2600/2400 products experience in Far Cry. As you can see, the Gigabyte card is not only worse than the GeForce 8600 GT, but is also twice slower than the ATI Radeon X1950 Pro.

At an average frame rate of 35fps, the Gigabyte card may not have enough speed for the heaviest scenes. You’ll have to turn off FSAA and, probably, reduce the level of detail in that case.

You can see that the relatively slow GDDR3 memory does not make the ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT too sluggish. You can play the game at 1280x1024 without FSAA but with high-quality lighting.

The Gigabyte GV-RX26T256H has a normal result here even though it cannot match the Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT, let alone the ATI Radeon X1950 Pro.
