Far Cry 1.3 Performance Preview
 

High Dynamic Range is the show-stopper, but we shouldn't forget to mention the impressive performance boosts available in the now-final 3.0 and 2.0b shader paths, which is most welcome. Normal map compression doesn't seem to offer a lot here at this point in time, but it's nice to see.

ok, now I understand a bit more.


this stuff is really going to shine on sli configurations... best of all with dual 6800 ultra's...
just a pity it doesn't mean anything for all those ati-rigs...especially knowing that top 50 of 3d2k1 is still ati...

remote site doesn't load here :(

same here.

afaik the 1.1 patch was good for ati

the 1.2 patch was good for nvidia but not anymore for ati

1.3? going by calantak's post it's not much of an improvement for ati cards, if any.
