Hey everyone,
I've just got Far Cry 2 and I'm getting some low frame rates (29-37) on generally high settings. I've been out of the hardware loop for a while so I don't know what out lately.
I here's my current set up.
CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3.0GHz
GPU - GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB
RAM - 4 gigs (windows only realizes 3.3)
What is bottle necking my performance or holding back or is it my system in general?
Thanks
I have a 8800 gtx as well ( although 2 gigs of ram and a OCed q6600 at 3.0 ghz ) and I run at about 30-40 fps on a mix of high and very high settings. Even though were not getting the optimal fps the game seems a lot smoother then Crysis which runs on average 3-5 fps lower on high settings. Interesting to note however I get 50-60 fps in multiplayer games at these same settings, heh. Honestly the game probably looks better to me then Crysis because I'm actually running 2x AA as opposed to no AA in Crysis. ( Also I have to run at the lowest settings to get 60 fps in Crysis multiplayer even UT2004 looks better at that point )
Disregarding my RMA plans with the 8800 gtx, I don't think its a good idea to upgrade because the card because is still very capable ( you would see at the very best 50% performance gains not considering CF or SLI setups ) , economically speaking I personally would wait until another generation of cards come out before I would consider upgrading ( which means I follow my schedule of upgrading my card every 2 years to maintain a high end gaming rig status ). Also I never would SLI the 8800 gtx as a single one already runs ridiculously hot...
