Sapphire HD4850X2 Review

Testing:

Far Cry 2:

While I have not run all of the cards in the comparison list through the Far Cry 2 benchmark, I will add the GTX260 Black Edition to the list of cards I have run through the testing. Our testing is not yet complete but you can look for Far Cry 2 to become part of the OverclockersClub benchmark suite. The settings used are just a few steps below the maximum in-game settings and offer a good blend of performance vs. visual quality.

Settings:

• Direct X 10
• 2xAA
• Game settings to very high
• Vsync Off

Compared to the green camp the HD4850X2 does not seem to scale that well here. There is a hotfix driver that deals specifically with enhancements for this game but the driver would not install. Once this is rectified I will revisit the testing but for now this is how the card fared in Far Cry 2.
