Just Cause 2

Just Cause 2

Just Cause 2 is a sandbox style action video game developed by Swedish developer Avalanche Studios and Eidos Interactive, published by Square Enix. It is the sequel to the 2006 video game, Just Cause. 

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: Just Cause 2 doesn't show us a record breaking difference between a single NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 and the dual GPU GeForce GTX 690, at least not at lower resolutions. At 1280x1024 we see a difference of only 12.18 frames per second. As we step up the resolutions the margins begin to grow. At 1920x1080 we can see a difference of 19.81 frames per second between these two cards. This is a jump from 12.6% at 1280x1024 to 27.3% at 1920x1080. Increasing the resolution to 2560x1600 we take another leap in performance up to a margin of  63.2%!
