We know from our benchmarking that running a multi-monitor setup at 57×10 or a 4K monitor at 38×21 needs more than 2GB to avoid stuttering on both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards.
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760’s GK104 Kepler GPU is a powerful solution for 1080P gamers, but you can see the frame rate drops from the mid 30’s down to the high teens when going from HD to Ultra HD resolutions.īenchmark Results: We fired up the Sharp 4K monitor to do some 4K testing at 3840×2160. This shows that the additional frame buffer is helping just a little at 25×16 as the clock speed advantage appears to be nearly gone. Having the extra frame buffer did nothing at 1920×1080 as you can see from the frame rate over time chart above.īenchmark Results: Moving up to Ultra HD resolutions we tested at 2560×1600 on our Dell 30-inch display and found the cards nearly in a dead heat with the 2GB card averaging 19.4 FPS and the 4GB card averaging 19.0 FPS. The average FPS was 33.8FPS on the 2GB card and 32.3FPS on the 4GB card. As a result the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 2GB video card was in the lead on our 1080P test setup. This is a 26.1Mhz or just over a 2% clock advantage for the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 2GB video card. GPU-Z showed the NVIDIA reference card hitting 1215.0MHz in the games and the Gigabyte card was topping out at 1188.9MHz. We set game title to 8x MSAA Anti-Aliasing and ultra quality settings before using FRAPS to manually benchmark each card.īenchmark Results: The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 2GB reference card was running at 1085MHz Core, 1138Mhz Boost and 6008 MHz memory (effective) whereas the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 760 4GB was running at 1085MHz Core, 1150Mhz Boost and 6008 MHz memory (effective).
The graphics are excellent and the game really pushes the limits of what one can expect from mainstream graphics cards. After a vacation goes awry, player character Jason Brody has to save his kidnapped friends and escape from the islands and their unhinged inhabitants.įar Cry 3 uses the Dunia Engine 2 game engine with Havok physics. Far Cry 3 is set on a tropical island found somewhere at the intersection of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The game was released on December 4th, 2012 for North America. 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.
