Far Cry 2 is one of the hottest game titles right now. The game supports both the DirectX 9 and the DirectX10 rendering modes and its graphics engine is much lighter than the one that Crysis uses. As a result, all the graphics cards will perform quite well, even at the higher resolutions of 1920x1200 with 16xAA/16xAF enabled.
Starting with the resolution of 1280x1024, the XFX HD4770 performs very well and it is faster than the Inno3D 9800GT graphics card.
At 1680x1050, we see that the performance difference between the XFX HD 4770 and the Inno3D 9800GT is 12FPS under the 'Very High' settings and further to just 3FPS at once you enable the 'Ultra High' quality settings.
Finally, enabling the 16xAA/AF is not a very good idea with the XFX HD4770. The performance drops significantly compared to the Inno3D 9800GT. This looks like a graphics drivers issue.
