We set every option to its maximum setting and tested at 1,280 x 1,024, 1,680 x 1,050 and 1,920 x 1,200 with various anti-aliasing settings.Īnisotropic filtering is controlled by the game's quality settings and forcing AF from the driver control panel does not have any effect on visual quality or performance.

Far Cry 2 is a 2008 first-person shooter developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft.It is the second installment of the main Far Cry series, preceded by 2004s Far Cry and followed by 2012s Far Cry 3. While it continues the Far Cry franchise that Crytek started in 2004, Far Cry 2 is built on its own in-house engine and has no association to anything Crytek has worked on or is working on now. Far Cry 2 is the latest first person shooter from Ubisoft and it's one of the most hotly-anticipated games of this year.
