Far Cry 2xAA

Far Cry – Direct3D

Notes

As you can see, we’re still CPU-limited with 2xAA enabled in Far Cry on the RADEON 9800 XT at 800x600, and to a lesser extent with the other 9800 boards. The RADEON 9700 PRO and RADEON 9800 continue to offer similar performance while the RADEON 9500 PRO is clearly ahead of RADEON 9600 XT at 1600x1200, outperforming the XT board by 17% (although it’s a difference of only 3 FPS). Despite its slower core, the RADEON 9500 offers more memory bandwidth than the RADEON 9600 (270MHz in 9500 versus 200MHz in RADEON 9600), which allows it to slightly outrun the RADEON 9600 at 1600x1200.
