- Far Cry 2 (DirectX 9/10)
Far Cry 2 supports both DirectX 9 and DirectX10 and its graphics engine is much lighter than the one the Crysis title is based on.
Under DX9, the Inno3D GTX 460 OC 1GB is well positioned between the GTX 470 and the stock GTX 460:
Enabling the DX10 shaders, the "Ultra high" quality settings and AA also worked well for the the Inno3D GTX 460 OC 1GB, especially with AA/AF enabled:
- Left4Dead (DirectX 9)
Introduced in 2004, Valve’s Source engine continues to live on in new Valve games. Although this game is not very GPU limited to a significant degree we are using it in our testbed.
We used a custom time demo and measured the performance of the graphics card for the resolutions of 1280x1024, 1650x1080 and 1920x1200, with 16xAF enabled and all visual settings maxed out.
The Inno3D GTX 460 1GB OC follows closely the GTX 470, leaving the GTX 465 behind:
- StreetFighter IV (DirectX 9)
Here are two more benchmarks from the Streetfighter IV and the Unigine Benchmark Engine (DX10) demonstrating the graphic performance of the Inno3D GTX 460 1GB OC graphics card.
Unigine is a proprietary cross-platform middleware, developed by Unigine Corp. It is used as either a game engine or as an engine for VR systems. Unigine currently has support for OpenGL 4.0 and DirectX 11 It supports hardware tessellation and Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO), DirectCompute, and Shader Model 5.0.
At the StreetFighter IV game, the Inno3D GTX 460 1GB OC gave less FPS than the GT 465 and the GTX 470.
On the other hand, the Unigine benchmark was easier for the GTX 460 1GB OC and the card preformed pretty close to higher-end cards, such as the GTX 580 OC:
