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: Once again we see the $499 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 performing better than the ASUS GeForce GTX 590 that cost $699 when it came out on March 24th, 2011. It's hard to believe that one year later you are getting better performance for such a lower cost!

Just Cause 2 Benchmark Results

Benchmark Results: The MSI R7970 Lighting was unable to keep up with the stock NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 even on the Dell 30-inch monitor at a resolution of 2560x1600 on the game title Just Cause 2!
