4870 1GB only 1.4fps faster than 8800GT in FarCry2?!

Review using too little RAM and not enough resolution to show the difference in the cards is using too little RAM and not enough resolution


And a few more megahurtz wouldn't be bad, IIRC FC2 isn't quad optimized

I'm getting about 43fps with my 4870 at 1920x1200, ultra, high trees, vsync on, and 2AA so there's definitely something wrong if you're getting lower at a lower res. Any AA settings you've forced on in CCC?

Also, what are the specs of the other parts in your comp?

2gb isn't enough for any benchmarking really. Anything less than 4gb and you can easily become slowed by lack of ram, which kind of negates testing GPUs
