Far Cry 1.3 Performance

Once again we see the 6600GT fall between the x800 Pro and the 9800 Pro. The Far Cry benchmark has been touted by NVIDIA as one of the first PS 3.0 games, but it wasn't until the release of this patch that PS 3.0 features became available to the public. And oddly enough, things like geometry instancing are available on ATI hardware as well. CryTek and Ubisoft have done a good job of supporting both NVIDIA and ATI hardware and it comes across in the balanced benchmarks.

Our 6600GT scales fairly evenly between the 9800 Pro and x800 Pro under Far Cry. The resolution scaling is very spread out across the board here, but it's clear that current generation cards have an advantage.

    although, did you use the reference or the XFX 6600GT for the benchies? I don't remember it being mentioned...

    why no comparison with a regular 6800?

    right now the BFG 6800 can be had for around $250 and 6600GT AGP looks like it is starting at around $230, so they are competitors.
