AMD Radeon HD 7990 6GB Malta Video Card Review

Far Cry 3

Far Cry 3 is an open world first-person shooter video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft for Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It is the sequel to 2008’s Far Cry 2. The game was released on December 4th, 2012 for North America. Far Cry 3 is set on a tropical island found somewhere at the intersection of the Indian and Pacific Oceans.[11] After a vacation goes awry, player character Jason Brody has to save his kidnapped friends and escape from the islands and their unhinged inhabitants.

Far Cry 3 uses the Dunia Engine 2 game engine with Havok physics. The graphics are excellent and the game really pushes the limits of what one can expect from mainstream graphics cards. We set game title to 8x MSAA Anti-Aliasing and ultra quality settings.

Benchmark Results: The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 was found to be 2FPS slower than the AMD Radeon HD 7990 at 2560×1600 in Far Cry 3. Again, these two $999 video cards are pretty damn close! The ASUS ARES II 6GB card with it’s 100MHz faster core clock was able to lead the AMD Radeon HD 7990.
