PCGH: Review Geforce 180.42: Far Cry 2 Runs 30% Faster

PCGH writes: "Far Cry 2 hasn't been released yet, but nevertheless Nvidia released a Beta driver that is supposed to deliver performance boost for the Geforce cards. So the "green ones" do the same as AMD and release a optimized Far Cry 2 driver.

The 180.42 increases the performance of the GTX 260 about 5 percent in DX9 mode and in DX10 mode even 27 to 30 percent - but with Anti-Aliasing only. In DX10 mode the Geforce GTX 280, which is benched for the first time, reaches 84 percent of the performance of a Radeon HD 4870 X2 - without micro stuttering."

well, I play on PS3 hooked up to 40" Bravia and it is fun for me. Driving takes most of the time but at least vehicles handles well. Its repetitive but not as bad as assassins creed.

Already put 26 hrs on game :D.

The game has its flaws for sure. But its still an amazing game and just pure fun.

Only problem is the game looks worse than on AMD cards which is why you get your performance increase.
