Just Cause 2 Game Settings

Just Cause 2 employs a new version of the Avalanche Engine, Avalanche Engine 2.0, which is an updated version of the engine used in Just Cause.  The game will be set on the other side of the world, compared to Just Cause, which is on the fictional tropical island of Panau in Southeast Asia. Rico Rodriguez will return as the protagonist, aiming to overthrow the evil dictator Pandak "Baby" Panay and confront his former boss, Tom Sheldon.

Just Cause 2 Benchmark Results
Benchmark Results: The ASUS ROG MARS 2 video card starts to shine with the game title Just Cause 2 as we found it to be over 11FPS faster than the AMD Radeon HD 6990 with the jumper set to the OC GPU BIOS.  The ASUS MARS 2 was 34.8% faster than the AMD Radeon HD 6990 OC in this benchmark with 8x AA and 16x AF enabled. These cards do amazingly well with three 1920 x 1080 monitors for a final resolution of 5760 x 1080.
