AMD Radeon HD 7950 w/ Boost Versus NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760

Far Cry 3

Far Cry 3 is an open world first-person shooter video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft for Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It is the sequel to 2008’s Far Cry 2. The game was released on December 4th, 2012 for North America. Far Cry 3 is set on a tropical island found somewhere at the intersection of the Indian and Pacific Oceans.[11] After a vacation goes awry, player character Jason Brody has to save his kidnapped friends and escape from the islands and their unhinged inhabitants.

Far Cry 3 uses the Dunia Engine 2 game engine with Havok physics. The graphics are excellent and the game really pushes the limits of what one can expect from mainstream graphics cards. We set game title to 8x MSAA Anti-Aliasing and ultra quality settings.

Benchmark Results: The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 2GB reference card performed 5.1% faster than the AMD Radeon HD 7950 3GB card at 1920×1080 and was 18% faster at 2560×1600. Sadly, it didn’t have the frame buffer and power to win at 5760×1080, so the AMD Radeon HD 7950 was the winner at that resolution.
