Far Cry 2
Far Cry 2 is a first-person shooter video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It was released on October 21, 2008 in North America. Crytek, the developers of the original game, were not involved in the development of Far Cry 2.
Ubisoft has developed a new engine specifically for Far Cry 2 called
Dunia, meaning "world," "earth" or "living" in Parsi but also used in
many languages. The Dunia Engine was built specifically for Far Cry 2
by the Ubisoft Montreal development team. It delivers realistic
destructible environments, special effects such as dynamic fire
propagation and storm effects, real-time night-and-day cycle, dynamic
music system and non-scripted enemy A.I. The engine takes advantage of
multi-core processors as well as multiple processors and supports
DirectX 9 as well as DirectX 10. Only 2 or 3 percent of the original
CryEngine code is re-used, according to Michiel Verheijdt, Senior
Product Manager for Ubisoft Netherlands. Far Cry 2 also supports the
amBX technology from Philips. With the proper hardware, this adds
effects like vibrations, ambient colored lights, and fans that generate
wind effects.
Far Cry 2 is no match for the GTX 285. All cards pushed up 100+ FPS maximum and maintained minimum FPS above 30FPS, making all resolutions with all cards playable without the stuttering you see with other setups.
