- Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 (GRAW2)

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 builds off of the events in the first game and places gamers in control of the U.S. military's elite fighting unit, the Ghosts.

In the year 2014, the rising conflict between Mexican loyalists and insurgent rebel forces has thrown Mexico into full-scale civil war. Under the command of Captain Scott Mitchell, the Ghosts are called upon to face an imminent threat to the United States.

The fate of two countries now lies in the hands of the Ghosts as they fend off an attack on U.S. soil. Equipped with the most cutting-edge weaponry and technology, the Ghosts must battle on both sides of the border to neutralize the escalating rebel threat.

In order to benchmark the graphics cards, we used FRAPS and ran the same battle routine with the same running/fighting course. We used the following visual/audio quality settings. Anti-aliasing isn't really offered from within the game. Texture quality is at medium, since the game only allows high detail with an Ageia Physics PhysX card installed:

The sound options are left at default.

At 1280x1024 with maximum details enabled, the Gainward 8600GT PCX 512MB gives average performance with 37FPS.
