Farcry Benchmarks
One title that is really noted for using up both
Graphics power and a lot of processing power is Crytek's Farcry. This
was the first games title that I really noticed a major difference,
everything was super smooth even in ultra mode at 1280x1024 on the 3800
and this was on the slower ATI X800 Pro instead of an XT model. Farcry
uses both the graphics card and the processor (more work on the
processing than in Doom 3) to the best of their abilities, so it was
good to see the 3800 moving away with much better frame rates over the
3000 processor.
