11. Overclocking, conclusions
Far Cry 2 is one of the hottest game titles right now. The game supports both DirectX 9 and DirectX10 and its graphics engine is much lighter than the one Crysis uses. As a result, all graphics cards are expected to perform very well, even at 1920x1200 with 16xAA/16xAF enabled.
Starting at 1280x1024, the Gainward GTX 285 performed pretty well even at the Ultra High rendering mode. However, it was slower than the Rampage700 2GB GS:
As we increased the resolution to 1680x1050, the performance difference increases in favor of the Rampage700 2048GS:
At the resolution of 1920x1200 the GTX285 has managed to offer very high FPS, although the ATI HD4870X2 based product (Rampage700 2048GS) is faster.
Finally at the DirectX10 tests we were pleasantly surprised to see that the Gainward GTX285 performed even better than the Rampage 700 2048GS in both Ultra High and 16xAA/16x AF rendering modes.
