Far Cry 2 (DX10)
3-Loops Ranch – 1920×1200, 4XAA 16XAF Max Quality Settings
“Ubisoft’s Africa shooter is one of the most anxiously expected games and a technical very interesting title – beside DX10 there is said to be a big benefit for quad-core CPUs. We were able to run a benchmark session with the integrated benchmark tool and an almost final version of the game.” – PC Games hardware
Playing Far Cry 2, everything was extremely smooth. Very few slowdowns, and great performance overall. 82.22 fps is very good for a card in this price range.
Dirt 3 (DX11)
Default Benchmark – 1920×1200,AA 16X AF Max Quality
Built on top of Codemasters already successful Dirt2 engine, Dirt 3 takes graphics to the next level. This title makes heavy use of Tesselation and other DX11 features to give a stunning gaming experience. Dirt 3 is a leader when it comes to graphics in a racing game.
Dirt 3 was very playable with the GTX560 at every setting I could throw at it. There were slight slowdowns when using extreme amounts of AA and AF but for the most part it could take everything that you throw at it.
